It's not necessary to be a citizen, I agree.

It's also not necessary to have sex.

Tell your husband that you from now on only do what's necessary, not anything more. Then inform him that from now on he can #### himself.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

To become a citizen you will need a good grasp of English - be able to read and write in English and also to carry on a conversation in English.

fortunately im not married to my children's father and I use my last name to them(my son is 7 and my daughter is 5. is it easier if I don't have previous marriage ?

Unfortunately, your first obstacle is for your US citizen husband to want them, even if you had the funds, not only to bring them here, but also have the ability to prove you can support them. Would he even let these kids live with you?

No sense in going any further until you cross this bridge.

To be honest I would get this resolved before worrying about going for my citizenship - I would get your husband to sponsor for your children to be here with you their mother!! I truly hope he sees that part is necessary even if he doesn't see the citizenship part necessary.

OP does need to meet min means of support

Citizenship is not required but must meet have permanent resident status

if children from previous relationship you still must a letter from the father to bring them here , but if unknown whereabouts you still have to post in local paper

if anybody has seen him , if no response your free and clear to bring them seems difficult but isn't
