I think you’re misunderstanding the requirements.   Individual consulates do not set their own medical requirements.

Full transparency, I am planning to visit my fiancé for long, about 4-5 months as I already have a B1/B2 visa.
I have a full time job right now, and plan to get a letter of employment from my company before I quit, so I can show CBP the letter as proof of ties to my country.
I'm planning to buy a full flex plane ticket which will state that I'll be visiting for 2 weeks (also going to tell CBP officer 2 weeks if they ask duration of stay), but once I've entered, I'm going to refund the return ticket and just get a new one once I'm ready to go back after a few months.
Just wondering if what I plan to do is dangerous in any way? Everything I'm doing is technically legal..
 
I'm just afraid come time for my actual K1 visa interview, I will be questioned on why I was in the US for so long.... even though there shouldn't be anything wrong with that in the first place since I just want to be with my fiancé.
But will it come off really suspicious to the consular office during my K1 interview?
Would just like to know if that will be affected in any way... any replies and advice will be much appreciated please!!
My fiancé has a stable job so money isn't a cause of concern and I am able to be unemployed btw.. which is why I'm planning to quit my job after I have obtained letter of employment as proof.

It's not a matter of the Consulate or Embassy, but a requirement by USCIS in accordance with the CDC.

Hi, we were DQ'd in March, and given an interview date in May at the Dushanbe embassy. We just figured out that the Dushanbe embassy does not accept medical tests from Moscow, only from Dushanbe. This means my wife is required to take the COVID vaccine, which is a hard no for us. The Almaty embassy accepts medical tests from Moscow which does NOT require COVID vaccination, so we would like to transfer out interview there. 

Has anyone else had success transferring an interview to Almaty?

Don’t do any of this, not a good plan! 

It seems you are suggesting trying to deceive CBP when you enter by showing them proof of a job you no longer have and showing them a return ticket you plan to change.  This is not a good plan. 

Well yes essentially.. As I am from what the US deems as a 3rd world country, if I'm honest about wanting to be with my fiancé for 3 months, I just fear they will outright deny me entry just because of my duration of stay - thus me purchasing a shorter visit ticket, but planning to change it after.

Can take 6-8 months, which is a well known drawback of the K-1.
 
You cannot work remotely prior to having an EAD or GC.

First, get your legal relationship to the child correct in your mind. For immigration purposes, he is simply your stepson.
 
Even without the guide, the I-130 instructions spell out clearly what is required for spouse and what is required for a stepchild.  You will be submitting evidence of your bona fide relationship to your wife, but nothing like that for the stepson.  For him, you are simply providing evidence you are married to his mother and that he is his mother's child.  Presumably, he will travel with his mother. Whether you are traveling with them or not, is irrelevant.  

Don’t you think that lawyer could possibly have been referring to interview wait times for that consulate…..?

Sure, anyone with a spare $6k can file a WOM.  Go for it.

Or @igoyougoduke's method of self-filing for ~$400

Perhaps studying the VJ guide below would be helpful/  The immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  Good luck.

It’s as accurate as the info VJ members are inputting on their timelines.   The processing times on USCIS (by service center) is what I’d go with.

Do you have other assets/investments which list him as a beneficiary?   Whole life policies are not common.   
 
If you have retirement or other investment accounts you can name him as a. Beneficiary of, I wouldn’t worry about cancelling that policy.

It looks like you are in the processing stage of I-129 and you are from Philippines. How do you have knowledge of the entire process for India?

Fire that lawyer. Once you have case number from nvc, you can schedule interview and medical, and fill out DS-160. If you don't know the case number from nvc, you can make email inquiry. 

Your US fiance should have discussed things like this with you.  The immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  The following K-1 flowchart might be helpful:
