Does anyone know how long it takes to get your green card on an F12 visa?

grandmother is a citizen and filed for son and son’s children but the children have not received their green card 5 months now

It's not clear from your post what stage of the process they're at. Are you saying that the grandmother filed the petition 5 months ago? Or that they got their visas and entered the US 5 months ago? 

 

I would start a new thread of your own, as your question isn't related to this one, but give more info and somebody will help.

I 130 for children has to be separate petitions as there are no derivates of that type of petition

and grandmother can not petition for F 12

So, how did grandmother petition?

Is son in US?

 

• F12: Child of an alien classified as F11 or F16. This means an F12 visa is for the child of someone who is either an adult unmarried child of a U.S. citizen or a self-petitioned unmarried son or daughter of a U.S. citizen.

Presumably grandmother petitioned her son under F1 or F3 - and those categories do allow for derivatives.
