Hi. It may depend on why she go the 10 year ban. However, the son will need to file the I-130 sponsorship. This can take 9-12 months to get the interview at the Embassy. Let me know if you would like any assistance. 

Reinstatement allows you the opportunity to regain valid F-1 status and have the mistakes you made corrected by USCIS. You may be eligible for reinstatement on some particular circumstances. You should meet with your University's International Student Advisor to determine your eligibility. Otherwise, you will have to depart the U.S. And be readmitted on valid F-1.

The first question I have is whether you are a U.S. citizen. Lets assume, for purposes of your question, that you are a U.S. citizen. The second question is whether your fianc is presently in the U.S. Lets assume your fianc is in the United States as you imply she is present by your comment regarding counting both your income and that of your fianc. If your fianc is currently in the U.S. then getting married and adjusting status based on her marriage to a U.S. citizen (you) is likely the best option. Lets also assume the daughter in the Dominican Republic is unmarried and under age 21. The next step would be to file the appropriate forms on behalf of your fiancs child in the Dominican Republic. Eventually they would be issued Visas in their native country(ies) and enter the U.S. Financially speaking, you (the petitioner) would need to have an income and/or property that satisfies the current poverty guidelines based on the number of individuals you would support. With respect to the amount of time required I cannot give an estimate at this time.
