Another option is to start the CR-1/CR-2 process.  They would be together in her country until both visas were issued. 

Yes this is also another option and thank you for mentioning it. We will talk and decide what's the best option for us to take.

Yes but the I-131 will allow her to visit her country if approved so it wont be too bad actually!

Not so bad for you maybe.  Might be tough on a 10 years not to see his mom for 6-8 months and however long she has been here.

Have you considered filing I-130 for her and her son for consular processing so they can both immigrate at the same time?  Since she has a B-2 visa, she can come and visit you without having a long separation with her son.

Right.  Just understand that it may take like 9 months for her to receive it.

I've wonder,  if someone brings a child, don't they need permission from the other parent, if one parent is immigrating to the US?

This is true it will be difficult for him. But hes also old enough to understand which we already talked to him about

The laws in my wife country is, the mother has rights to the child and if she marry's permission is not needed from both parents, only the mother to bring the child to live in the US

Might be one of those situations where you would be best obtaining legal guidance.

Also would be required to translate the foreign tax papers for the business. The documents are in Spanish. We already have her birth certificate translated and are in the process of translating her diplomas and certificates for education. 

We had some issues with getting some of our documentation approved initially because of the translations.  Sweden recognizes both English and Swedish and we mistakenly sent a couple of the documents only in English.  This was not accepted.  The documents were required to be in the native language of the country they were from and the translated English version and then you need the Certification by Translator document.  My husband was able to sign the certification document since he is fluent in both languages.  The best of luck!

 

This is an example of the certification form:

 

Certification by Translator

 

I, ___________, certify that I am fluent in the English and Spanish languages, and that the attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________.
