no she will have to filed for those 2 separate omg why did she do that u will be here they won’t.

she should have file for your children same time she filing for you.

if the kids are 7 and 3, it’s easy for her to file citizenship for them directly from abroad and then green card for you!!!

@ken do you know the process how she can file for citizenship. thanks all for your inputs

@satish, Yes since she’s a US CITIZEN any of her child under the age of 14 gets direct citizenship too, all she need do is get a Lawyer and it will be filed. my Uncle did the same and the son came here at age 8 with a Blue Passport

@ken thanks so much.

They can come with you under derivative if your US spouse fill their names on your I-130 form before filing it out

Good luck to you

@K Wilson thank you, yes she has done that. hopefully things go well for us.

A child of US citizen can get citizenship upon entry into the US, only if his/her parent became a citizen BEFORE the child was born. If the child was born AFTER the parent became a US citizen, the child can only become a green card holder and can be filed for as such. Just FYI

@Andy RIGHT

@Andy I am good with that. my wife has been a US citizen before our kids were born. thanks for all the good words. this really helps while we wait here

@Satish why hasn't your wife filed for certificate of a birth abroad at the embassy? Your common kids become US citizens in the country you're in simply by applying for this certificate since one of their parents is a US citizen. No visas in such cases.

my wife has to leave for US earlier this year on an emergency and decided to bring us there after going there. we didn't plan this earlier so never went to apply for kids CRBA. also someone said she needs to show documents that she was in US for 5 years before our kids were born to her. she says she is not sure if she can as she has been staying with us here for the last 8 years and doesn't know what documents will fulfill this criteria.
