My wife had her visa issued almost one year ago and we are ready to schedule the interview for her son to come over. He is 11 years old. What all do we need to do? I know I need to do the DS-160 for him and schedule the interview. She did her interview and was issued the visa in Japan but her son lives in the Philippines with his grandmother. Can we schedule the interview in the Philippines? How do we do his medical? I remember she needed some paper when she did her medical what would we take for his? Is there anything else we need to do?

The k2 needs to be issued within 1 year of the k1.  You are almost out of time and Manila may already be full for interviews

Hopefully you didn't wait too long, his visa must be ISSUED (not applied for) within one year of when your wife received her visa.

 

Yes he interviews in Manila, and completes the medical at SLEC

 

Here a link to the K-1 process (K-2 is the same, except for some age related documents that are not needed if under 16 .. NBI, CENOMAR).  There are links to the medical, paying the visa fee and CFO in there also.

There are still dates available, I know the earliest available date is still May 23. I just found out I need to transfer the case though, which I bet will take at least 30 days knowing how these things go. Plus my wifes AOS interview is May 20 and she will need to wait to get her green card before she can even go to PI. The timing is just too tight i think.

If you can't complete the K-2 within the year then next option is filing the I-130 petition to bring her son to the States.
