If you file a petition for your son, it will be family 3 category. Check the most recent visa bulletin at DOS website and find out how long it may take.

The case is a First or Third preference case. You file the I-130 relative petition and then wait for his priority date (place in line for visa) to be current. The son then files for the immigrant visa at his home consulate.

It takes approximately 10 years for the green card to become available from the time of filing the Petition for Relative (Form I-130).
