It will take USCIS approximately 5 to twelve months to adjudicate Form I-130 depending upon where the application was filed. Once the petition is approved, your son will need to wait for his priority date to come current before he can immigrate. His status may change to F2B category after he turns 21. It will depend upon the application of the Child Status Protection Act and when an immigrant visa becomes available. The Child Starus Protection Act essentially allows the time the petition was pending with USCIS to be subtracted from your son's age. The only thing you can do at this stage to speed the process is to promptly respond to any correspondence requiring you to take action.
