Are you asking how you (the non US citizen parent) can visit the US? OR obtain residency in the US?

You will have to show very strong ties to home (Philippines) and even then it may be very, very difficult for you to obtain a visa.

No there is no path for her to petition for you. The closest path is when your USC children hit 21 they can petition for their parent but that is a long long way off. When the children are older they can fly alone to the US. It is hard for young single people to get visitors visas.

Sorry to hear that. U can come to the US if u can get a tourist visa. But like the other poster said u need to show strong proof that u are going back to the Phils. after ur visit here.

My USC husband petitioned my 2 kids(from previous marriage ,kids both used the biological father's name). The journey was rough but we did it. My kids are here with me now.

Good luck.

If you just want your kids to visit their grandparents, and since your ex lives in the Phillipines still, could he not take them next time he visits the USA?
