7-12 months. Email me as indicated below and I will advise the forms and fees and process to get him here. Has your son obtained a U.S. passport?

It generally takes 6 months to a year from the time that you start the process. He will have to go through consular processing. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case, advise you of your options and help you with the process.

From what you have described it will be around six months to a year. You will need to file an immigration visa petition for him now if you have not already.

6-12 months, typically, if everything is submitted properly, and he is not otherwise inadmissible.

The process takes about 8 months to a year if your husband has no prior immigration violations or criminal record. I am available to assist you with this process or contact another immigration attorney of your choice.

It usually takes about 9-12 months for the paperwork to be processed before he will be scheduled for his visa interview at the US consulate. The process is started by filing an I-130 petition packet with USCIS.
