Sorry... you were not eligible to pass on citizenship via parentage at the time they were born... you will need to apply for tourist visas for them in order for them to visit

Thanks for reply. Besides, Embassies don't give non-immigrant(tourist, student etc.) visa for green card holder's family members. Is it also same for citizen's family? DO you have any information and/or resource for that?

Do you meet the 5 year rule for USC ? IF SO - stop mucking about, get CRBA (Consulate Record of Birth Abroad) for yer children in 'that' country, asap.

I have been US citizen since October 2008. I would like to bring them here for summer holidays. Officially, they are with their mom. They are 11 and 12 years old. If I meet 5 year rule, can I get CRBA, even if I become a citizen after they were born?

Are the children your biological children and therefore USC's as well?

Yes, They are my biological children. I have been US citizen since October 2008. I would like to bring them here for summer holidays. Officially, they are with their mom. Mom is OK for visiting me in US.

Hi all;

Is there any way for a US Citizen to bring his son and daughter to the US as a visitor?

I am a US citizen. My children are living abroad with their mom. They are 11 and 12. Can I get a visitor visa for them(or any non-immigrant visa which is given easily). Is it possible or the only way is petition?

Thanks;
