K2 visa expired for my stepson due to a medical issue - What are my options

[Pyrock 0]

I petitioned my fiance under a K1 visa and her son as a K2. It was approved and she came to America under her K1 visa, we got married, changed her status, and she received her green card. Meanwhile, her son remained behind to finish college and we did his paperwork and everything was fine until it was time for his medical exam. He failed his exam because he had a respiratory infection so he had to return once he was healthy. Upon returning for his second medical exam, he passed just before his K2 visa expired (one year after his mother received her K1). The problem is that the medical clinic in Manila required him to take third medical exam which he passed BUT it was beyond his one year limit. We were told to email the embassy to ask for an interview date and give the reason for the delay. I did so and now it is two months later and NOTHING. We called the embassy but they do not take calls, just emails. My stepson is now 19 so we are afraid that we will never hear from the embassy before he turns 21. We would like to know what our options are.

OK...So it takes up to a year before they get to my original email?

Thanks...By the way, when I emailed them, it said NOT to send multiple emails but I will do as you suggest and follow up with another email. I just hope it is before his medical exam doesn't expire before then.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Did you initially have an interview date scheduled with the embassy before the medical?

No, he did not.

He was sick so he waited to get better before he took the medical before he scheduled an interview.
