Listing children on N-400

[hennessey4747 1]

My wife is filing her N-400 and it asks to list children. Her two children are adults, married and still living in the Philippines and my daughter is married a US citizen living in the US. Do we have to list them anyway and do we need their birth certificates?

Seems pretty clear as to listing them.  I do not remember my wife needing to include her adult son's BC when she filed.

 

Good Luck!

 

Part 11. Information About Your Children

Item Number 1. Indicate your total number of children. Count all of your children, regardless of whether they are alive,

missing, deceased; born in other countries or in the United States; under 18 years of age or over 18 years of age; married

or unmarried; living with you or elsewhere; current stepchildren; legally adopted children; or children born when you

were not married.

ALL children. Doesn't matter if they are 8 or 80. Just like @Bill & Katya showed, the instructions are very clear.

 

What if you don't list her children and some time later down the line your wife wants to petition for them? When looking at her immigration history,  they are going to be thinking, "Where did these mystery children come from? She was childless before"
