Normally, the company must sponsor you for employment authorization and then you can have a visa issued at the consulate of China in the U.S. You may need to schedule a consultation with a lawyer so you can provide more details and they can help you and your company to develop a strategy for obtaining employment authorization.

You would be sponsoring your son under the F-3 category, which for the month of March 2013 is backlogged to 7/15/02  for people born in most countries of the world except Mexico and the Philippines, which countries are backlogged even longer. There is thus an approximate 10 year wait for your son and his family to emigrate to the States if your son is born in a country other than Mexico or the Philippines. A priority date is established at the time that the I-130 petition is submitted to US CIS. As the date is established at the time of filing and not the date of approval, USCIS is not overly concerned with the length of time that it takes to adjudicate I-130 petitions in this category. According to the latest processing time chart of the agency, I-130 petitions adjudicated in the Vermont Service Center in the F-3 preference are being reached which were being filed by 2/27/12, in the Texas Service Center by 6/10/12, and in the California Service Center by 6/19/10.  

It really depends. There are many other factors to consider to make a determination of eligibility. For instance, how old are you, did you live with your step-father, how long, when, how old were you when you lived with you step-father.
