I don't know how long it will take to get an interview. I would contact the Embassy as soon as possible.
the child will need to have a medical. your wife's mom or dad can represent her at the child's interview. appyling for the visa is basically the same as for a K-1, would not need the DS-156k submitted. if traveling with anyone other than your wife, believe a travel permit would be needed from DSWD.

a link to DSWD

http://www.dswd.gov.ph/faqdetails.php?id=47

The above link is a must read and there is a short paragraph about K2 Visas (derivative status) is mentioned with references within Section 2.2 of the Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide.

My friend just called USE and give the interview schedule after 2 weeks, as long as the kid will follow within a year is fine, same as k1 need to send the Affidavit of support also,need medical too.....

as what the others say need DSWD permit if the kid will travel with relatives

Yes, i checked this out too since i also have the same concern with my daughter. the kid is allowed to follow within one year from the time the k1 visa was approved for the fiance.

We are also using K-2 follow to join for Mir's daughter. We emailed the USE and asked about whether the K-2 is good only for the 1 year period or if it just has to be issued within one year and then the visa is still valid for 6 months after issuance like the K-1. Here was the response from USE Manila.

Reference: (Child's Name/K-2 Recipient)

Date: September 20, 2007

Dear Mr. XXXXXX:

This is in reply to your inquiry of August 10, 2007, regarding the derivative fiancée (K2) nonimmigrant visa case of the referenced individual.

Please note that under U.S. immigration law and regulation, the issuance of a derivative fiancée (K2) nonimmigrant visa must follow within one (1) year from the date the fiancée (K1) nonimmigrant visa was issued to the principal applicant.

In this case, Mirasol XXXXXXXX was issued a fiancée (K1) nonimmigrant visa on May 8, 2007.
(Minor Child K-2) should apply and be issued a K2 nonimmigrant visa (if qualified) before May 8, 2008.

If found qualified, the K2 nonimmigrant visa is valid for six (6) months from the date of issuance. The validity of a visa, however, may be limited by a medical restriction or other considerations and would be less than the usual 6 months.

We hope this information will be helpful to you.

So the K2 must be issued within 1 year, but you have up to 18 months to travel under normal circumstances. Hope this helps!

We understand the whole k-1/2 process, but the only question is:
