What is your case Priority Date (PD)?

For London, likely no need for chat records and phone logs. Prioritize evidence of time spent together in person, like passport stamps and boarding passes from your/his visits to the UK/US and his I-90 travel history.

The receipt notice from filing the I-485 is proof that your spouse is allowed to stay in the US. Make sure he carries a copy of that notice whenever he leaves home. But, the I-485 receipt notice may not be an acceptable document for driver's license application. It depends on the DMV rules for your state. Which state are you in?

The current dates on the visa bulletin may change from month to month. The fact that F2A was "C" months ago is not relevant to your interview scheduling now. What matters is whether or not your case PD is current on this month's VB. Unfortunately for you, F2A retrogressed 6 years to 2017. You will not be scheduled for interview until your PD becomes current again. And while your PD is not current, you will not be granted an expedite even if F2A had been "C" months ago. I understand that this depressing info may be hard to accept. Again, I suggest you consult with a trustworthy immigration lawyer about your options.

Your situation is not the same as the OP's. In most states, DMV rules are different for tourists and other non-immigrants, like those on student visa. New residents (including green card applicants like the OP) in VA are required by state law to obtain a VA driver's license within 60 days of moving into the state if they want to drive legally -- https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/licenses-ids/license/applying/eligibility#new residents

As you are close to 20 years old, it would be risky if your parent were to file for citizenship now. Ideal scenario would be -- your parent files N-400 today, then completes the process and becomes a US citizen before your 21st birthday. Then he should immediately request NVC to upgrade your case to IR2 and also request for expedited interview based on your DQ date from 2022. But, there is no guarantee that your parent can complete the N-400 process before you turn 21. If he files N-400, then becomes a USC only after your 21st birthday, it could be worse for you as your case will switch to F1 (unmarried adult child of USC), which is years behind F2A on the visa bulletin currently. One option could be for your parent to file N-400 ASAP, then if he still hasn't become a USC by Sep 2024, he could withdraw his N-400 application. Or your parent could remain an LPR, not filing N-400 at all, and you both wait a few years until your F2A PD becomes current and you are scheduled for visa interview. I recommend you discuss with your parent about these options, and possibly consult with a competent and trustworthy immigration lawyer.

Are you the principal beneficiary, not derivative? How old are you now?

Are you the spouse beneficiary of an LPR? If so, is your LPR spouse petitioner now eligible to file for US citizenship? If they are eligible and haven't filed N-400 yet, they should file ASAP. Once they become a US citizen, they may request your case to be upgraded from F2A to IR1 (spouse of USC). That way, the visa bulletin will be irrelevant to your IR1 spouse visa case, and you can be lined up for interview based on your DQ date of Sep 2022.

There's no possibility of expedite for cases that are not current on the visa bulletin, not even for life-or-death situations.

Not even digital copies? I didn't keep my paper copies, but I have pics/PDFs of everything we ever filed/received.

You will not be scheduled for interview until your PD becomes current on table A of the visa bulletin, regardless of your DQ date and the consulate where your case is assigned. Current PD for F2A is 08 Oct 2017, and next month it will be 01 Jan 2018. So you may have to wait around 3+ years before you can be lined up for interview.
