They can begin the process as soon as they are married. Among the documents they will need are proof of your daughter's U.S. Citizenship, her husband's birth certificate (translated); their marriage certificate, proof of legal termination of any previous marriages, his passport and I-94. Once married your daughter can petition him and he can file for adjustment of status. If approved he will be granted Conditional Permanent Residence.
