I will agree with my colleague. The visa is a visitor visa - B2 visa. Besides the requirements mentioned, note that B2 Visas are non dual intent visa. You should not have the intention of filing for a green card on it.

Alternatively, if your son is a US citizen, he can just file for a straight green card for you.

Good Luck
