***** Moving to CR-1 from K3, as OP is asking about that visa *****

Best case: they never find out, and all it affects is that you cannot bring the kids over on visas, or if you petition to do so later, DNA tests may be required and lengthy investigations are done.

Worst case: you could be charged with material missrepresentation and banned for life.

Thanks for the response,anyway plans are to move here in my country after staying in states for a year or two.thats why we did not put all the name,s of the children..

You still need to add all the names. Listing them doesn't mean you will bring them to the USA.

Answer all questions truthfully and accurately. The I-130 asks you to list all children of the alien relative. You list them and the other information asked for about them regardless of age, marital status or immigrant intent. It's a question. Answer it.

Later, on the DS230, the same question will be asked again and lower on the form, the applicant will be asked about which, if any of the persons listed will be immigrating with them now or later. If none are coming, that's where you'll indicate none.

Can i still put all the name on the DS forms?or i will just do the same like in l-130.not all the names were listed.

Are you saying you have already submitted your I-130 and it you didn't list all the names of your children? The information should match in all your forms - and as said before, lying about the number of your children is a serious matter. Why would you not list all your children? It'll be a whole lot easier and less risky for you to just disclose all relevant information that is asked in the forms.

Where are you in the process?

I would try and correct the info- better now than later! Send a new I-130 woth the correct number of kids listed (they count even if they do not live with you!), and a cover letter.

Just what part of, "Answer all questions truthfully and accurately." are you having difficulty understanding? If you've already filed an incorrect I-130, then at your next opportunity, (the DS230) "Answer all questions truthfully and accurately". Don't compound the error by making it twice. If asked, explain that you misunderstood the question the first time. Clearly you did.

Thanks to all who helped and gave a response on this case..well i just hope i will fill up the DS230 with all the names in it and it will not slows down the process,i can explain to them the reasons and etc..i was so stupid made my own ideas about the names..

if your children are to immigrate with you, or after you -

each child needs a seperate I-130 filed by USC petitioner.

if you are further along in the process, and not filed any I-130, it's time to do so, and ask for expedite -

see http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/255138-k3-k4-visa-converted-to-cr-1-by-national-visa-center/page__p__3918125#entry3918125

then figure out where you are in any process, plan/do accordingly.

children are not allowed to come over without any I-130 petition filed for them, even on some K-4 derivative visa (which is dead now, btw)
