A: If you are the father of the children, your children would be US citizen. You can file a petition for your wife however you will need to come to the US. The petition's purpose is for your relative to come to the US live with you. So you will need to provide US mailing address etc. If finances is an issue you may use a joint sponsor for affidavit of support when required. In any case we need more information to assess the eligibility of the children and spouse.
