Yes, I am. But not sure this dependant visa with parent and son relationship is only for the son who aged less than 20?

Yes you can. Go to your immigration office and ask for the requirements for a non O dependent visa.

Thank you so much. Mother and I will apply 60 days TR visa first. After landed, I will enroll school for 1 year studying, then, I can bring my mother to apply Non-O dependent visa, is it correct?

For getting the dependent visa, does Mother must have a bank account first?

No. No requirement for funds but you may well not get a “dependent” visa in country. She may have to travel to a local consulate overseas to get the non O. Ask at your local immigration office for their requirements. They differ from office to office.
