TLDR : Answer Summary

To bring your daughter from Thailand to the US while you hold a green card, you need to consider her age and your immigration status. Depending on the situation, her father (if he sponsored your original visa) may be able to sponsor her as well. It's often recommended to consult an immigration attorney for assistance with the necessary paperwork.

The guy who got you into the USA originally (husband?) could sponsor her. See an immigration attorney for the paperwork.

I was asking for a friend, trying to avoid using attorneys. It just seems so daunting. Thank you though. 🙂
