You asked about getting your children into the U.S.

I am assuming that your children are either your natural children or were legally adopted before their 18th birthday. Your children are eligible for a U.S. passport because they are United States citizens already. You don't need to petition or get the resident status.

Children born to a U.S. citizen or adopted by a U.S. citizen before their 18th birthday are lawfully U.S. citizens and are eligible for a U.S. passport.

They can apply for a passport through the consular section of their local embassy. The government's website for the U.S. Passport Agency should be of help to you.

You should speak with an attorney. Your children are either already citizens or you will have to petition for them again. Give me a call and we can discuss your options.

Your children have lost their Legal Permanent Resident status since they have not been back to the US since 1995. You need to petition for them again and it is crucial that you do so before they turn 21 years of age. Otherwise, there will be a very long waiting time (10-13 years for Filipino nationals).
