Clarifying what is down the road for us

[ChristinaG 91]

So I know we have quite a journey ahead of us - our I-130's have only been sitting on some shelf in Texas for two months....

I have read the ongoing NVC threads so I am pretty sure I have a good grasp on what to do when we finally get our NOA2.... but I just wanted to clarify and check my understanding of a few things (and yes I know some are way far off yet...)

Background:

-My two daughters and I are coming from Canada (kids are 9 and 6 at the date of our marriage)

1. at the NVC fee stage, there is only 1 AOS fee that will cover all three of our cases because we are coming through together; all the other fees (IV, ELIS, and such) are per file
2. I will be issued a CR-1 because at POE my USC husband and I will have been married less than 2 years. What visa will they be issued, CR-2?
3. before my 2 year visa expires I have to go through the removal of conditions and will get the 10 year (IR-1) green card. Will I have to file individual ROC forms & fees for the kids too, or can all three of us be on one file?
4. after ROC will they have 10 years cards as well, and have to pay & file a renewal every 10 years as well?
5. my children who are immigrating with me can only get citizenship if I do, right? Or will they be able to apply based on living in the US as a permanent resident after a certain number of years?

Thanks for letting me pick your brain

3. before my 2 year visa expires I have to go through the removal of conditions and will get the 10 year (IR-1) green card. Will I have to file individual ROC forms & fees for the kids too, or can all three of us be on one file? Look up form I-751 on uscis.gov - instructions detail what's to be done with minors filing for ROC at the same time as parent.
4. after ROC will they have 10 years cards as well, and have to pay & file a renewal every 10 years as well? Yes. One caveat - minors don't do biometrics but when they turn 14 they need to get biometrics done.
5. my children who are immigrating with me can only get citizenship if I do, right? Or will they be able to apply based on living in the US as a permanent resident after a certain number of years? Yes, they'd become citizens when you do if they're under 18 at the time. Or, they can wait til they're 18 and apply on their own.
