Yes i checked this , but i’m asking about kids , does they need a co sponsor even if they will be granted US citizenship once they enter US ?

If the children will become USCs the moment they enter the US (previously would have used the I-864W), then they do not need a financial sponsor.

 

Have you confirmed that they will be able to derive citizenship upon entry? The reason I ask is because they are 3 and 4 years old and apparently you did not meet the requirements to pass citizenship to them at birth. And presumably (I could be wrong) you have been living with them abroad since then.

Or have you been living in the US since their birth?

Requirements to derive citizenship from USC parent for child born abroad & not born USC:

- child enters US on immigrant visa (or adjusts status to GC)

- Child is in US in physical and legal custody of USC parent

- child is under 18

So it’s definitely possible to pass on automatically as long as both child and usc parent living in the US now even if the parent was not able to pass on at birth.

haha brain fart. I knew this, but something stuck in my head that the 5 year presence was still needed (it's clearly not!).
