You can only petition your son. You cannot petition a grandson. The grandson can be a derivative beneficiary of your son while the grandson is under 21 and unmarried.

You start by filing I-130 petition, and then wait for about 11 years for a visa number to become available.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply is it only what I need to sent to the uscis the 1-130 application ? Do I need to include the birth cert of my son or some other proofs as a mom? Sorry for asking more info I'm just new to this process I kno the waiting period don't have any idea which one is better if I will process my citizen 1st before I process my son or I will do it now that I'm still a Penmanent Res I'm very happy to hear from everyone who can give there good advice to me....Thanks

You just need to send your son's birth certificate along with the form I-130 and the check for this petition fee. It is better to file for his petition now as soon as possible because the waiting time is very long for his Priority Date to be current. If you become a Naturalized Citizen your son's Priority Date will remain the same but his preference category will be moved to F1( petition of USC to unmarried son and daughter) from F2B (petition of Permanent Resident to unmarried son and daughter). The petition of USC to unmarried son and daughter(F1) will take longer for the Priority date to be current and that is the situation of Filipino beneficiaries. You can see the movements or development in the visa bulletin.

Timelined for the future are difficult to predict, your Grandson could have aged out, and anyway he will be an adult by then and may have other ideas.
