Is there any way that I will get deported if I will add them on my paper work when I file my removal of condition?

More details to this question:
I am a k1 visa holder. I've been staying in United States for 2 1/2 years now. I was planning to petition my kids to get here. Both of them are legitimate, they are my kids with my ex but both of them are not on my initial paper works when I first process my papers before.

This is an immigration law question. It should not be posted on the Foreclosure Defense page.

Although, you may file petition for your children even if they were not included in your previous applications with CIS, however, I imagine filing petitions for them at this time may invite CIS' scrutiny as to why they were not named in your applications initially. Also, as a K-1 principal, if your children are under 21 years old, you may be able to file K derivative status for them. In this situation and to avoid costly problems further down the road, I suggest that you consult with an experienced immigration attorney

The best and cheapest way was that you should have brought them with you when you came. It is too late to include them on your papers and new petitions will have to be filed. There may be several options available. Please consult with an Immigration Attorney who can walk you through the best option for you and help you with the legal paper work.

If all you have is an expired k1 status, as a rule you cannot petition your kids. More information is needed.

Since you are asking these questions, better consult with an immigration attorney to go over all the facts and options. Maybe your new husband can petition the children as step-children depending on the facts.

You should have disclosed your children's names and information when you originally started your paperwork. Ideally, if you inadvertently or innocently failed to mention your children, you should be able to include them now. However, the fact that you didn't mention your children before may raise some suspicion and trigger an investigation.
