Petitions filed by American citizens are immediate relative petitions. They only cover the one person on the petition and do not confer any benefits for other dependents. IR1/CR-1 petitions are immigrant visa petitions, K-1/K-3-4 petitions are nonimmigrant petitions and fall under different procefures.
So, you will have to file 2 new petitions for her daughters. Since they are considered your stepdaughters, those will also be immediate relative petitions. You could also file K-4 petitions for them based on your wife’s IR-1. That might speed things up for them, but probably not all that much. You could ask the embassy in Phnom Penh to accept your petitions for direct filing there under humanitarian considerations, but since you are not resident in Cambodia, they do not have to accept them. However, they certainly will not accept filings by mail. They’re not allowed to. So, ask first and see if it’s possible before hopping on a plane and spending a lot of time and money.
