One part of the family well immigrate

If your wife and child stay in the home country and you become a US citizen, such would not allow your wife to automatically gain US citizenship. She would have to go through the process of becoming a permanent resident and fulfilling a three or five year period of residence before becoming eligible to apply for naturalization. With your children, they would have to enter the US with permanent residence, reside with you, apply for citizenship, and have the entire process completed before they turned 18.
