If they are citizens of Greece, they appky for ESTA. If ESTA is denied, they apply for a B visa

They need passport of their country of citizenship:

visas

1. File N-600K now.

 

2. File for their non U.S. passport

 

3. File for their ESTA or B visa

 

4. After N-600K interview and oath of citizenship, there is a legal conundrum:

 

* As U.S. citizens they are not permitted to leave the U.S. without U.S. passports

 

* As non U.S. residents they are required to apply for U.S. passports as the embassy of the country where they live. 

Either advice from me violates VJ terms and conditions.

from the N-600K instructions:

 

Who May File Form N-600K?

The following individuals may file this application on behalf of an eligible foreign-born child:

1. U.S. Citizen Parent

A U.S. citizen parent who has legal and physical custody of a biological or adopted child under 18 years of age. The U.S. citizen parent must regularly reside outside the United States and seek naturalization for the child under INA section 322.

OR

If the qualifying U.S. citizen parent has died, this form may be filed within five years of the parent's death by the U.S. citizen grandparent or U.S. citizen legal guardian.

 

Since you are alive and apparently have custody of your child, you would file. Your qualifying parent does need to attend the interview, in addition to your child and you.

From the N-600K instructions:

 

 The processing includes: interview of the applicant and qualifying relative (parent or grandparent) or guardian (if applicable),

 

My suggestion is that you study the instructions.
