If on the basis of your having two children in the US, please note that US immigration laws do not allow permanent residence based upon having young children born in the US.There is the so-called ten-year green card, but that requires 10 years residence, good moral character, and that you prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the children if you have to leave the US. In addition, that type of application is for people who are illegal, and is requested before an immigration court, not U.S.C.I.S There are many difficulties in getting such a case before the immigration court.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
