As a US citizen, you can sponsor an alien for U.S. Green Card application for the the immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen, such as your wife. But as a convicted criminal, most likely you are in jail, with little or no income. So it is difficult for you to "sponsor" an alien financially. The USCIS Form I-864 - Affidavit of Support is required for family-sponsored immigration. An affidavit of support is a guarantee to U.S. government that an immigrant will not become a public charge. SO you may need a a co-sponsor for her financial sponsor for Form I-864 if needed.

The child can sponsor her for a green card once they turn 21, but in the meantime, the mother may explore other options, such as family-based immigration through a different qualifying relative or applying for asylum if applicable.

Can I apply for a Green Card while on H-2B status? Yes, you may apply for Green Card while on H-2B visa. You may attain an immigrant status in the U.S. through the Family Based Immigration. If you have close relatives who are U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents, the relatives may file an immigration petition for you as the beneficiary. Close relatives, as defined by immigration law, include parents, unmarried minor children and spouses.
Yes, a non-relative can sponsor someone for a green card through employment-based immigration. In this case, the employer must demonstrate that they have a job offer for the individual and that the position cannot be filled by a qualified U.S. worker. This process typically involves obtaining a labor certification and filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). However, family-based sponsorship is limited to relatives, so non-relatives cannot sponsor someone for a green card through that route.
