Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

i an american citizen and have recently applied for my kids citizenship age 11 and 15 the department of state requested for a copy of my divorce decree since i have been divorced since sept. 2005 unfortunately on the final decree of my divorce paper it says that " the petitioner have no minor children who are the issue of this marriage and petitioner wife is not now pregnant " i had to follow my paralegals advice so the divorce can be expedited without having to think that this would be an issue now. what would be the best course of action i can do now? what would i say if they question me about my misdeclaration with regards not having kids at the time of my divorce application in 2005 ? i would surely appreciate a good sound advice to any lawyer out there thx

You probably know the old expression: "you get what paid for."

Don't you think it is time to hire a lawyer for proper legal advice? You don't seem to have learned anything. Not only your kids can suffer as a result of you being cheap, you can go to jail for defrauding the court system by signing a false sworn declaration.

Are those children born from that marriage? If not, you have not lied. But if so, you need to consult with an attorney. For a free consultation, please contact my office at 904-371-3538 or email me at [email protected].
