The date of your parents' actual marriage will determine whether you can petition for your step-father or not. The date that your parents started their relationship is irrelevant. In this case, it is probably best for you to petition for your mother first and she can then petition for your step-father after she arrives in the US and receives her permanent resident card.

Hi Jason.. Yes it can happen. First, have you physically met your girlfriend within the last two years? Second, are you a US citizen? Third, since you are on SS disability, you may need a joint sponsor who can submit his/her tax returns to show USCIS that his income meets the minimum threshold. The minimum amount needs to be at least 125 percent of the poverty level based on your household size. So add up all the people who live in your household now plus your girlfriend and the children she will accompany her to the US, and multiply by 1.25. If all the aforementioned factors can be met, you can sponsor her for a fiancé K visa which takes a little less than a year and then she can adjust status to get her green card after she travels to Texas and gets married to you. Consider working with an attorney. Some of us, including myself, charge a very affordable flat fee for the entire case process. I enter an appearance of attorney of record in the case by filing the G28 form.  Counsel in any state can represent you both. 

If you have seen your fiance in the past two-years, you can petition to bring her here on a K-1 visa. After she arrives, you and she will have to marry within 90 days. After marriage, she can apply for her permanent residency.
