Lorenia, from someone who knows something about this business, it might be the case that your husband is already a United States citizen. Don't let me get your hopes up too high. A number of conditions would have to be met for that to be the case. The first is that your husband's mother would have had to have naturalized as a United States citizen sometime after his birth. It would also depend on the Immigration and Nationality Act (immigration laws) as they were constructed at the time of your husband's mother's naturalization. Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell much about your case unless you take it to someone who knows the business well. Be careful, though. There are more con artists out there than there are bona fide immigration attorneys and immigration assistants. I would suggest (if you are in the United States) you contact one of the dozens of non-profit organizations that cater to immigrants. Some good ones to start with are Catholic Charities (put your religious thoughts aside for a moment), the Legal Aid Societies (especially in the border areas), and LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens). RAZA is another good one. You can also call the American Immigration Lawyers Association and ask them for a referral. They will be happy to help you. Whatever you do, don't go to a travel agency that promises that it can get you a greencard or "papers". In some cases, they will get you what you ask for. But, down the road, if you become eligible for a REAL benefit, you will find out that you committed fraud and you won't get what you really deserve in the way of a greencard or citizenship. Be careful. Also, as someone else mentioned, check out the INS website at www.usdoj.gov/ins. Check out the link to naturalization. There are some very useful questions and answers there.
One other thing. Once your children turn 21, they can sponsor you and/or your husband. If you are in the United States when they sponsor you, and IF YOU ENTERED LEGALLY, you can get your greencard here, without returning to Mexico.
Hope this has been helpful. Good luck.

I suggest you go to www.ins.gov
It has every form online and all you need to do is find the applicable one to you and you will probably end up saving time and money by seeing what exactly imigrations will end up asking and requiring.

I am no immigration attorney, so my info may be incorrect. Being a Brit I did have to go through this process.
For a start it used to be that if the kids were American then the parents should get a citizenship. The US wised up to the fact that people were coming illegally and having kids here to get their green card and stopped the policy. I do think however that the law is not retroactive and if your kids were born before a certain date he may still be able to apply.
Also what’s your status? If you are an American he should be able to get it.
There are usually some good free legal advisors in every major city. I know the YMCA has great free advice in Houston.
One thing I would not do is be in the country illegally when you are applying. There is no amnesty for this and when you apply you risk deportation.

Lorenia,
I will take your message to an immigration lawyer who is handling my wife's paperwork. Hopefully I can put you both in touch via email. I'm not sure how the law works on this issue and alot has changed since Sep. 11 last year.
