If your wife will not sponsor you and you do not have custody of your son, then it appears that you will not be eligible for immigration as immediate relative of a US citizen until your son is 18 years old. While there may be other avenues, especially if your presence is needed and your wife is declared incompetent but you are willing and able to live with and care for her and your son, these are complex issues that can't be resolved on Yahoo! Answers. You really need professional legal help. Perhaps, if you can't afford a lawyer, a U.S. law school legal clinic will advise you -- your case may be of interest to them as an educational project.

There is probably more to this story than what you are telling. Maybe she has a good reason for not signing the papers. Maybe she isn't really mentally ill. Maybe you want to believe she is so you can get citizenship and not have to deal with her.
I think anyone wanting to be a American citizen should have to work for it. Nothing comes easy and it shouldn't be as easy as to just marrying someone. That's not right.

There is definately more to this story. Why doesn't your son live with you? As you are the father you should be able to claim guardianship if your wife is unable to look after him. There are no legal grounds for the kid to live with his grandparents unless you let it happen or were found unsuitable as a parent in some way.
Are you sure the grandparents aren't just helping out a single mum who has decided she doesn't want to be married to you anymore?

Well uh... you're clearly not together, so get a divorce and apply for entry to the USA by some other means.

i don't get the gist of your quest in-as-much you say apart 5 years she wont sign papers for you and further on you say with her help, anyway separation for 5 years gives you grounds well and truly for divorce, why not do that and try entry to USA under another guise

You can not without her. Suggest forging her signature, do you really think they check? That will get the paper work started. Than get a lawyer.

Don't listen to anyone who doesnt know your situation. People can generally give dumbass advice. Hope you get to resolve your issue!
