The child will definitely need to get a medical exam and go to an interview at the Consulate. There's usually 2 options if the child is not coming to the U.S. with the fiancée. The child can go through the whole consular process at the same time as his mother, and he'll have the same 6 months to come to the U.S. or he may undergo the process at a later date. It seems that it would be more practical for him to do it with his mother since he is only 5, or else he will need a close relative to accompany him at a later date. In any case, he may be able to come to the U.S. within a year of the date of issuance of your fiancee's K1 visa.

You will also need a letter from his Father giving permission to your fiancee to take him with her.

K-2 Follow To Join Process at GUZ IV is almost non-existent, these days.

It can be done, but ya really got to bug the IV unit for the subsequent Visa Processing, intake, scheduling and interview. Bugging GUZ IV is really difficult, there's no number to call, ya can't get a human in real time - it's solely some web email form that you'd submit. It's a PITA, with no guarantee of success. IMO, having success solely depends on how successful you are in getting a Visa Officer to handle a K-2 FTJ casefile.

If you can swing it, instead, have the child go with the mother on her interview day, then he'll have 6 months after interview day to travel.
