More details to this question:
I currently live in the USA and am a citizen, as is my son. My son's mother lives in Brazil. She was here previously on a K1 fiancé visa and returned to Brazil after a couple of months, 8 years ago. She sent my son to live with me in the US for his education, but it would be nice to have everyone together.

There is no visa category by which a U.S. citizen may sponsor and petition for the biological parent of his child. If you and she were to become engaged to be married, or become married, there are steps you could take; and when your son reaches age 21 he will become eligible to apply for his mother.

There is no method without getting married. Only, if she finds a job in the US and the employer sponsors her, but it takes long time and she has to meet various qualifications.
