Please clarify:
1. Your son is a US citizen, but he must now be outside US because you say the application is from a foreign country.
2. Another thing I am assuming is that he is in that foreign country for more than 1 year now, that's why you could apply it from there. Otherwise, you will have to apply from the country of nationality (i.e. US).
If both of the above are true, then submitting the copy of FIR shall suffice in my personal opinion. As a supporting document, you can submit any thing that shows his (over year long) stay in that foreign country.

I don't know what FIR is but I think I disagree. You must show proof of lawful admission, NOT proof of stay.
For example, most western countries' passport holders can get 3 or 6 months stay here in Hong Kong without a visa. You can get a new 3 or 6 months by leaving Hong Kong (say going over the border on foot to mainland China) and then just returning, the same day or even 1 minute later. Thus you can stay for a continuous year in Hong Kong without any sort of visa, but you would NOT be entitled to choose Hong Kong as your visa office. Proof of admission is something like a work visa, spousal visa, investment visa, something where the government admits you for one year or longer and you have been there on that admission for one year or longer.
Again I don't know what FIR is, but the proof required is proof of admission by the government of the country in question, not proof that you have stayed there for the year.
