My adult son entered the US on a non immigrant visa (has not yet expired) i'm a us resident. He has decided he wants to stay in the US but is not yet ready to marry, can he adjust status through me.

Can i file an I-130 and an adjustment of status and work permit together for him?

How long does it take?

As long as he can remain in status until his visa number is current. Sounds unlikely.

How old is your son? You can apply for your son on F2B visa category as long as your son is not married. This category takes very long time (more than 10 years). You are better off to get your citizenship and then apply for your son. Lot quicker.

Your son cant stay here legally after the expiration of non immigrant visa. He has to return home and wait for F2B to be approved. Adjusting status when you are here illegally can lead you in to troubles.
