I think you are confusing the terms and that is why you are not getting any responses here. The Biometrics appointment is done after you applied for AOS (well after you arrived to the US and got married) and you get a letter in the mail for it. Now, the medical appointment, which you are supposed to have done in Argentina for your interview, can be done before you get the packet 3 if you already know the docs (and vaccines requurements) doing it. If you got the NOA2 and the NVC number, it's just a matter of days before the embassy sends you the packet 3 anyway... So go ahead. I did it and had no problems. The med exam is valid for six months anyway.
