For various reasons, we are considering a two step entry to the US for our family. First just filing IR-1 for mom now, then about a year later, file for kids who will still be in Mexico.

I believe this would allow us to have the kids enter US in two years approximately, and would be far less expensive to process all the IR-1 while residing in Mexico and not have to file AOS in US (as in K1-K3)

Does this sound like a good idea? Or is it important to keep kids I-130 with mom's I-130 filing?

I am also considering filing a I-129F along with mom's I-130 just in case we need to change our plans and get everybody in at once. It would be a backup strategy only, since it seems to involve a lot of extra time and money to do AOS.

This depends somewhat on how old the kids are.

Immigration will look more favorably on the petition if you bring everyone at one time. But, that is your call.

I am not a lawyer. I am familiar with the immigration process, but any questions I answer are not advice or represented as being true for your situation in any form or manner. I am not liable if you read what I have written and act upon it. Do your own research, ask an attorney for assistance, and make up your own mind. Nevertheless, I may attempt to answer questions from time to time to give you an idea of what to search for in finding out your answer.
