As an LPR or green card holder, you can sponsor your son by filing an I-130 petition for him to come to the US. Such petition is in the 2d family preference F2A category and current processing times in that category for most countries is about 25 months. After the petition is approved you may then start consular processing at which time someone may have to accompany him to the US embassy in his country for issuance of a visa. Given his tender years, the US embassy in some countries have certain procedures in dealing with such cases and so, you'd need to be familiar with those policies as may be applicable to the US embassy in his country. If you become a US citizen at any time while his I-130 is pending, his visa category changes automatically as he becomes the child of a US citizen thereby eliminating additional wait times. You should always consult with a lawyer for more specific advice tailored to your individual situation
