How many days did you spend outside of the US?

I think the OP is really in a pickle here. As ban for IV from Nigeria is coming up, it will take a while to get a visa, if one is even granted with a waiver (probably on the more likely side considering its an infant). But on top of that if they dont get a visa for the son within the next 6 months the visas for the other family members will expire

 

OP your wife may need to enter the US to activate her visa and return to Nigeria and hope that the son will get a visa quickly.

From what I gathered, your 5 years in the US starts counting when you get your citizenship. And another way is applying for a tourist visa for your son, if they see all the family have access to the US they won't deny him. Secondly, for an expedited case hardship waiver.

All time counts, but it has to be 5 years of actual physical presence in the US.

I don’t understand why you break the period into before and after 2017? What was the total physical time in vs out the US? 512 days is almost one and a half years, and then you mention more trips of undefined length after that, so I can easily believe the actual time you spent was less than 5 years, but you don’t give enough information to be sure.

As noted above, all time within the US counts. This includes time as an LPR, time in status on a visa, and even time spent int he US illegally.
