I gave it to you. Your children need to get immigrant visas and enter the US before they become citizens because you don’t meet the requirements to pass citizenship on. 

alright and for that I will have to file i130s for each child separately right ?, anything else that I need to do

Yes. Read the guides linked at the top of the page. Assuming the children are under 18 you don’t need affidavits of support for them, but you will need one for your husband. Bear in mind you are probably looking at around a year timeframe for processing the applications.  You should file them all at the same time  - you get no benefit that I can see waiting to file for your husband later, unless you need a job in the US first because you don’t have a joint sponsor.

You can certainly sponsor the children first and sponsor husband later.

As others have said 3 separate I-130s filed at the same time, one for each kid (no affidavits of support for the kiddos) and one for the husband (affidavit needed).

When you guys enter US:

  1. Kids automatically become USC . You will just go ahead and apply PP for them.
  2. Husband obtains IR-1, basically 10 year GC. He can later apply for citizenship in (3 years - 90 days) from the residence since date written on his GC, assuming that you guy swill still be married then.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Op, additionally, and hopefully, you've been filing your US taxes as a US citizen as required by law even though you are living abroad. Unless you fall below the threshold that exempts you from filing.

I am homemaker and never worked in my life .. my father told me since I have zero income I don't need to file taxes.  will this have any impact on my case.

Who is going to be joint sponsor for your husband then? Not a problem for the kids application but you’ll need a joint sponsor (residing and earning income in the US) fit him, unless you have assets you can sell.

Is your father in the US?

Yes he lives in US .. why Will this make any difference?

He could not be joint sponsor if he wasn’t. Hopefully his retirement  income is sufficient to meet the requirements. (You can also find joint sponsor information in the i864 instructions I referred you to earlier)
