Interview is confirmed in London, IR-1. But I hate it

I-130 (Family/Consular processing)

I was fine waiting the insane amount of time before this, I never worried about it. Just went on with my life. I stressed once in a while because my case isn’t fully basic. But for the most part, I was fine.

Now have an interview date, the pressure is on and I’m panicking. Everyday feels like anxiety mixed with happiness, mixed with it fully on my mind 24/7. I hate knowing the date, either that’s the medical or the interview. I have pretty much most my important documents, some are still in the process, such as doctor things. But the gov site is so bad at clealry telling you everything you need. There’s always another link that tells you slightly different, or there’s always some other information you find that you actually need. For the most part I feel I’ve gotten everything but the anxiety is killing me.

For medical, I need a GP care summmary that I’m waiting on, you would think I would get it quick, no. But I also need it to finish my private doctors report because I have a history of mental health issues when I was younger

Then I also need to explain in the interview about my denial at the order while I was on a ESTA, so that’ll be fun.

The there’s the insane anxiety about everything I have to do and pay off before I can leave, I have debts, I have a house, I have so much I need to worry about.

This process will be worth it, but until I’m there. It’s hell

Sorry just vent
