Hello. If your father marries the mother, he can petition for her to come to the US as an immigrant. It will take about a year to process and come here. The mother cannot come because her child is a US citizen. The child can only petition the mother once it reaches 21 years of age. Thanks and let me know if there are any wedding plans.
