Not really sure what he did, regarding twins I mentioned it because of 5 year rule but looks like it doesn't apply here.

You are going to have to file new I-130s for the twin.  You might as well do it for the 3rd child.  

Your 3rd child does not qualify for a CRBA.  Show us the exact law that allows you to transfer your US citizenship to a child that was born before you naturalized.   We have shown you the requirements that said the child MUST HAVE A US CITIZEN PARENT AT THE TIME OF BIRTH to qualify for a CRBA.  Show us something different.

 

Best of luck.  You aren't listening.

I got your point but I have living example of my friend so that's why I argued but may be I am wrong.

If a friend robbed a bank and was never caught, will you also do it? Probably not.  Same logic applies here

More likely he misunderstood the situation.

Of course they’re different things but the logic is the same. Just because someone did that, doesn’t mean you should too. Nevertheless, please let us know his explanation

I became LPR in Feb 2014, my twins born in 2018 and third one in 2021 and I became USC in Feb 2022, so in case of my first two kids I don't have 5 years but for third I have. 

1. So child 3 is a USA citizen.  You should file a CRBA 

 

2. Because you weren’t  a USA citizen before children 1 and 2 were born, they are not USA citizens.  However, they enter the USA on immigration visas and take up residence with you, they will be USA citizens.  Do not pay the green card fee.

You friend is lying to you. There is absolutely no way he can even commit fraud and get CRBA for 2 year olds after naturalization.  One can't hide naturalization date so the only date you can alter fraudulently is the kids birth date on fake birth certificates. CO has to be blind to not differentiate a few months old per BC vs 2 year old kids in real to approve for CRBA and passport.

That can't be true either because he added his daughter after birth, so she was in the loop whole time, I am sure he must have submitted the birth certificate also during her addition as derivative, anyway I will ask him.

No, all of them born before my citizenship. Feeling really distress.

In logic it will be true if he had done something illegal than I should not do it, but if there is any CBRA clause for this type of situation then it will not be fraud... again I will ask him what exactly did he do.

Based on what you wrote - adding derivative - that means they were processed as F2A cases (that allows addition of derivatives). 

 

YOU shot yourself in the foot by naturalizing as now you have to submit three I-130s and wait for it to be processed. So all this is on you.

If immigration benefits are gained through misrepresentation, it can cause those benefits to be revoked at any time in the future.   Your best bet is to file I-130s for the children directly with the consulate if they will accept them. If not, then file the I-130s asap normally, and request expedites.

Do you actually think you can pass along citizenship to a child who is born to two non-US citizens?

How is child 3 a USC?   Born before OP was a USC.
