[NowAndThen 3]

You should be safe to go ahead to complete the DS160 and arrange your medical and interview ( medical first allow 7-10 days for interview after) interviews at London currently have about a 6-8 week wait for an available slot.

Thanks for that. All the best to you- we filed late January 2018, and got our NOA2 mid-August. Keep going!
