Re: consultation/immigration/legal status
You can petition for your wife and children, but they may have to leave the United States before getting their green cards. Whether or not they will be able to return depends on whether or not they are eligible for a waiver of their unlawful presence. You absolutely should consult an immigration attorney. Feel free to contact me directly for more information.
Re: consultation/immigration/legal status
If your child were born in the US,they are American citizens.
If not, they all have to be brought in legally, or risk deportation.
Talk to an immigration lawyer, pronto.
