Unless your husband was a US Citizen when your other two children were born, you will need I-130 petitions for each of them too.  If he WAS a citizen when they were born and can pass citizenship to them directly, then they need Consular Reports of Birth Abroad.

Yes, my husband was a US citizen when they were born. We will apply for the CRBA before my I-130 process is over. Thanks for the response!.

Thanks a lot for all your responses. I think I got my questions answered!. We gonna submit a I-130 to get things started.

I believe you have to start all over again since you have been out of the US for over six years.  If I remember correctly, with an IR1 in 2011, you were already granted LPR status when you first entered the US even if you didn't have the physical card yet, but then leaving and staying away is most likely considered an abandonment of LPR status, so I think you have to start over again.  I am not sure about the naturalization thing, there is the 3 year marriage rule (LPR for three years) and the 5 year LPR rule, but I am not sure if any of your time in 2011 counts toward that.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot for your response. I really appreciate it!

Hi. I received a spouse visa back in 2011, my husband was a permanent resident. But for family reasons i left the US in 2012, before applying for a green card. I only have my social security card. now my husband is a US citizen, and we have 3 kids, the first was born in the US. Do we have to do the i-130 process all over again for me to move back to the US? and how long before i can apply for US citizenship after I arrive in the states? Thanks.
