Minors with No Legal Guardian

[PlusUltra 8]

Hello! My mom was the primary caretaker for my minor children in the Philippines. She has passed away unexpectedly. I am in deep panic and seeing if there are any other avenues that I can get the my children here in the US quicker. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I am in the process of submitting N400 online. I have reached out to a lawyer and she said that the best thing to do is to start the I130 process.

under 21 and unmarried ,  the visa is F2a

if you naturalize before the interview ,,  it changes 

 

Effect on spouses and minor children: If you filed a petition for your spouse or minor children (under age 21 and unmarried) while you were an LPR, the visa category was family second preference (F2A). When you become a U.S. citizen, NVC will upgrade the petition to an immediate relative (IR) visa category. This benefits your immigrating family member(s) because there are no limits on the number of visas that can be issued each year in the IR categories.

Follow your lawyer's advice.   The petition will start out as an F2A, once your are naturalized contact USCIS/NVC/USEM the petition will change to IR  which are processed quicker
