A: Your situation is far too complex and fact specific to be answered in an online forum. Immigration is an extremely complex and technical area of law. This is not merely a matter of filling out forms. What you do not know can have grave consequences and even prevent you from obtaining immigration benefits. You need to retain an experienced immigration attorney for any immigration matter or you may throw away your future. Do not let geographic restrictions get in the way of retaining the best attorney. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price.

A: In the event the your children are not USC's through you and are not registered as birth abroad children of a USC you will need to obtain immigrant visas for them. You do this through the US consulate. You will need to provide sufficient documentation that the mother of the children has granted you permission to bring the children to the USA.
