You must focus on filing I-130 / I-485 / I-693 / I-864W for the  16 year old now. Your husband and 13 year old are lower priority.

 

If your 16 year old’s I-485 is approved after each reaches age 18, he will have to wait until at least age 23 to file N-400 to become a citizen.

 

But if I-485 is approved before he reaches age 18, he will be a U.S. citizen. 

 

1. How close is he to age 17?

 

After you get I-130 and I-485 receipts, file his I-131 and I-765. You will want to also request an expedite for your 16 year old’s I-130 and I-485. 

 

Next priority is to file I-130 / I-485 / I-693 / I-864W / I-131 / I-765 for your 13 year old. Expedite not needed yet, if ever.

 

In their I-864W filings show evidence each child lives with you.

 

After the kids are filed, you file for your husband.

Distracting from the 17 year old is terrible.
