Please don’t schedule before Packet 3. You night schedule before though but when you receive the packet and the time is elapsed, you’ll have to pay another fee again 😂😂.  So please receive the packet 3, get the medicals done and surf the page ustraveldocs.com. 
 
NB: you can go ahead and create the account for this website. 

Yes, after you receive packet 3, you can go ahead and book your interview and do your medicals as well. 

the current record I've seen is three years. Don't wish for something that may come true.

Thank you for the info.

It's been running about 220 to 250 days for approval. So a little more patience. Why call when you are shy of the averages. The approval of your application depends solely on what you submitted and largely on the background checks. Background checks take time.
 
This is for USCIS
 
Option 1:
Call USCIS. Do not press anything. Do not choose a language. If someone who picked up the phone cannot answer your question, ask them to transfer you to TIER 2.
 
Option 2:
Dial 1-866-953-7684
 
Option 3:
Call 1-800-375-5283
Press 1 to continue to English
Press 2 for case status
Press 1 if you know your receipt number
Press your receipt number 922(WAC) then your numeric receipt number
 
Option 4:
Dial 1-800-375-5283 then press 1,2,2,4,2,1 then enter receipt number then press 1.
 
 
Checking on your embassy case number from NVC:
It will take 7 - 10 business days for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in their system and produce your case number.  Call 7:00 am eastern time for shorter wait times.
 
1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)
 
1 for English, then 7 (or 5, but I would go 7 as they would tell you if you should call 5 instead of after they receive your case.)
 
Best time to call:
Right after they open which is around 7:00 pm Philippine time/ 7:00 am US Eastern Time, Mon-Fri. I was always able to have the phone answered after the first ring if I called right at 7 am.
 
NVC CONTACT INFORMATION:
Website: www.immigrantvisas.state.govwww.immigrantvisas.state.gov  
 
E-mail: NVCInquiry@state.gov    I highly recommend you email NVC for the case #, even if you call and get it, this will give you a correspondence from NVC with the case # for future reference.  The email request for your MNL # is also a great way to track when your file is forwarded to USEM as NVC will not reply to the email until that time. 
 
REQUIRED SECURITY INFORMATION:
You are required to provide the following security information with each inquiry to receive a case-specific response:
 
* NVC Case Number or USCIS Receipt Number (Place in the subject line of the e-mail).
* Petitioner's name and date of birth.
  ( NOTE: If the visa petition is employment-based, include the employer's company/organization name instead of the petitioner's name and date of birth. )
* Principal Applicant's name and date of birth.
 
 --- Use this site to check when your file ships from NVC to your Embassy:  State Dept. visa tracking:  https://ceac.state.g...ker/Status.aspx?
 
 
 
 

The date on the NOA1 that they mailed.

Unfortunately I don't believe it's a emergency case. Since it's not immediate family for u I don't foresee them expedite ur visa. U can call and speak to someone but, believe u r going to have to wait. 
 
(0)20 207499-9000 can try that number also
Good luck.
