My 83-year old mother is a US citizen. Can her children be given US citizenship also?

My mother got her US citizenship in Seattle in 1994 and did not file petitions for her children. My dad should have gotten his US citizenship earlier on since he served the USAFFE during World War II but lost all his papers and never got any of his veteran benefits. We, the remaining children in Manila, who are all adults now, and have our own children, want to try living and working in the US. Two of the siblings are in the US now but went there through employment and marriage. Are there any workable way for us (remaining children here) to get our papers to the US?

Answer:
No, you're on your own. Her citizenship has no bearing on her adult children, sorry to say.

At least you may have sponsorhip possibilities through your relatives already in the USA
That is a very good question. However, at this time seeing that the immigration bill has failed and us as a divided people have not come to an agreement as to how to go about making a compresavie agreement. Unfortunately the white house is out for lunch.
Your mother can petition for you. Go to uscis.gov for details on getting 'residence through a family member.'

The person above me is wrong, unless the new bill goes through. Right now the adult children category still exists.
Check with the US Embassy in Manila. This sort of thing very much depends on the precise details, and you need to talk to someone who is not only familiar with them but is in a position to do something.
You can get a green card through your mother and come to the US. Then you wait 5 years and apply for citizenship yourself

Usually the sponsor (in this case your mother) has to show she has the money to support you when you arrive at US. As her adult children you get some preference for green card, so it should not take long.

You should contact a reputable immigration attorney in the US. Your siblings in US should be able to speak to them or help you find one.
Yes, get a good lawyer, cause you are entitled to get yours also.
I think there are provisions for children of WWII veterans who fought alongside the US. I would consult an immigration attorney, if I were you.
Your mother has to file petitions for each of you. The wait for a visa to become available will be 22 years and 2 months (Priority 3). She'd have to live to be 105.

If your dad was in the USA military, contact veteran affairs,they should have his records. The best thing to do is get a immigration lawyer in the states
