Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
if my petition approved for my wife can she bring my minor children to US also?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Only if you are a permanent resident (Green card holder), then your minor unmarried children can apply for visas too (as they'd be included into the I-130 petition).
If you are a US citizen, you have to file separate petition for all your children (both minor and adult).

If you are USC then your minor children are to and need to get their citizenship. where are you located?
If in California, call me @619-922-5287
Neither answer above is entirely correct.
A permanent resident can include under 21 year old children in the petition of their spouse, so separate petitions are not required.
If you are a U.S. citizen, your children might be U.S. citizens already. If they are, then they should be applying for certificates of citizenship or U.S. passports from the U.S. embassy/consulate abroad. If they are not citizens already, then you'd file separate petitions for them.
