Re: my son

It can take approximately 8 years for him to become a permanent resident based on your application for him. If he gets married during the time that the application is pending, then the application is no longer valid.

If you become a US citizen, then the wait time would be a few years less. You should speak with an immigration attorney to discuss the process in detail so that both you and your son understand the procedures and the wait time.
