Congratualations! That is an impressive score for an 8-year-old. DYS only accepts a few IQ tests so look under the qualifications section, then google to get a better sense. I am guessing here, but perhaps DYS may have gotten the impression that he is only strong in math. Perhaps his SAT verbal score was low because he did not focus his energy on it and/or the portfolio did not suggest advance verbal abilities? Even if his primary language is not English, might he not do well on verbal tests given his interest in geography and history? There will likely be a cultural disadvantage but he should still do well. From the limited amount that I know, the SB-V may be more suitable than the WISC-IV given his mathematical abilities.
