No. The NVC doesn't care about your legal status in the country you interview in -unless you are requesting a transfer from Country Y to Country Z.

Processes IN the country are the only two things that matter (how you and if you can obtain a police report without status/if you can go to the medical without status). 

You will most likely be fine if the UK doesn't need you to be in status for medical and police report. 

Hi I have been DQed without any problem. But still worried about the interview and can they refuse because of my residency only and do I have to start over again!

Good luck! And please return in a few weeks/ months once NVC has accepted your documentation and you have an appointment. This question comes up a lot and no one ever follows up to say if they we

I am in Uk and my visa is expired. But I have been DQed and waiting for interview. Can I attend the interview? My interview location was assigned based on my current physical address. 

That's a UK issue.  If you stay past your allowed time, the problem is with the UK, not the USA.  I don't know how the UK will treat you for overstaying, but the Consular Officer won't care.

I am not worried about uk. Because people say in the VJ you need to be lawfully resident in a country to interview. If the officer don’t care then great. I think they need proof of residency only if you want to transfer case.

You gave proof of residency earlier and they assigned the interview to London.  They aren't going to refuse to interview you because your status changed between DQ and interview.

They never asked me any proof or anything. I just put my physical address in UK. But asked for consulate in home country but Nvc assigned me to London.

This is excellent news! And very encouraging for others who interview in countries where they have no status. 
Thank you for updating us! And I’m happy you didn’t have to return to your country. Happy travels to the US!
