Oddly enough, 3 weeks after the rejection we get an email from the NVC saying we're now scheduled for interview in November.  Maybe the rejected expedite request 'put us on their radar'?  Who knows how things work over there.  Anyway, SLEC medical scheduled and Manila hotel reserved.  Now more hurry up and wait 😝
 
Refresher for those compiling data:
Visa class F2A-F22
PD 06Dec2017
I-130 approved 05Aug2019
DQ 24Apr2020 (which was 1 day after Trump's shutdown mandate?)
Expedite request 29Aug2022
Expedite rejection 16Sep2022
Interview scheduled 06Oct2022

FYI, F2A has sub-categories underneath like F21 and F22.
 
It was a very long, twisted road to get here, but your 2nd picture confirmed what I assumed which is 01Jun2021 is your DQ date.
 
Since USEM says they are currently working mostly on DQ dates from July2020 for family based visas (i.e. F2A), you have to relax, clear your mind, keep busy, messenger with your family, and wait for USEM to schedule an appointment slot (unless you have good reason to request expedited interview.  I don't know what a good reason is so I can't help you there).
 
The email address you have given to CEAC website should be receiving a non-information update approx every 60-120 days confirming you are still in line and waiting for interview slot.  We got our last email 01Feb2022.

I get there is a whole lot of cultural background to supporting extended family, but who was supporting these extra 3 people until now?  And are you 100% on board with that once you start?  Even once here, "I'm too busy raising your child to go to work", sounds like a very likely retort to come up.  Have you 2 had a frank discussion about how you live now by yourself, how you will live together, what she will do for work, will she go back to school for better work, how long the extended family support arrangement is going to go on for, etc etc?  I'd even say going so far as a typical monthly money in/money out budget may spur a lot of a-ha revelations.  It can be easy to think of all the money coming in makes US people rich, but they have to have their eyes opened to the high amount of money going out too.
 
It can be uncomfortable, but the open talk may end up making you 2 stronger.
 
If she is not pregnant with your child, what are the allowance expectations of this family from you?  If the answer is 0, this is another hmmm moment.
 
Being 'of age' you 2 probably also have some aspects of being set in your ways.  The honest talk should probably extend into things and expenses about your lives that you may be willing to bend, but not wholly change/eliminate. A couple drinks after work with your friends, a day on the couch watching sports, or costly hobby may be part of your routine and stress management, but a deal breaker to her.  You never know until you talk about it.
 
 
My first thought to this from the original post was maybe that ship has sailed and a baby is just not realistic.  I know, I know. Anything is possible with healthy people, good medical care, a young attitude so don't beat me up for saying that.
 
Personally I've always thought bringing another mouth into an overpopulated world for the purpose of genetics was never a good enough reason, & to consider helping out in another way through adoption as a better choice.
 
 
 
Sorry to pile on GinoNiña and of course your life is your life; you you have no reason to explain or justify any of your situation or choices to anyone here (including all that garbage I typed above).  This forum is about trying to be helpful and I think by extension people want to make sure you see what others see as possible alarm flags.  I suppose its safe to say we all are rooting for you and want you to live your best, happiest life with someone you love and cherish.
 
To your original question, I would simply echo what others have advised and wait on the conception as hard as that may be to do.

I'm not sure if it was to prevent child trafficking or because the report of birth was a little delayed from the actual birthdate, but one other thing to consider as happened with our case is at the interview, the Embassy requested a DNA test to establish parent-child relationship.  If this happens, they will tell you the whole process which involves only certain approved genetic labs and test sample collection at the Embassy.  I don't recall that it added much time to the overall process, but it did cause some delay and extra trips to Manila.

So to make sure I am understanding correctly:
1. You are the US LPR and you petitioned for your son?
2. Your son is under 21?
3. Your son is unmarried?
4. You said your uploaded documents were accepted; did you reach Documentarily Qualified status?  Meaning NVC said everything presented was OK, or does your status still show lacking some document? This is important question.
4a. See my 2 included pics from the CEAC website; do you show similar for your son on the summary page and message inbox?  Notice the summary page has 2 sets of fees and documents required for the Affidavit of Support person (petitioner) and the Applicant (beneficiary).
5. If all above is true, I still don't see why your petition would be numerically limited.  F2A is current across the globe since July 2019 visa bulletin.
The only other thing I can think of is for #4 you did not get all the way to documentarily qualified (like my message inbox pic) and your son had his 21st birthday before your petition was fully approved so he crossed over to F2B which is numerically limited for Philippines.
