You need a tourist visa to visit the US. You must demonstrate to the officer at the US consulate in your country that you have enough money to travel, the purpose of your trip (for example to visit your son), and your itinerary. Good luck.

If you have a US citizen son, he can petition for you when he is 21 years of age.

Your US citizen son is too young to sponsor your immigration. You may apply for B2 visitor visa to come to the US if you can convince the consular officer that you have strong ties to your country and you will return after your short visit.

Your son cannot petition to bring you to the U.S. until he is 21.

If you are planning to come here for pleasure, go to the US consulate and apply for a tourist visa. But if you want to come here as a permanent resident, you will have to wait until he is 21

A US citizen son may file a Petition of Relative (Form I-130) on behalf of an immediate relative (such as a parent) upon turning 21 years old.

You can only obtain lawful immigration status through your son once he turned 21.
