I've got my visa and my flight is booked for Tuesday.

Maybe it just feels weird not having anything to worry about- but is that it? Can I really just go now? Are there any additional fees/ forms or anything else I need to complete before boarding this plane? I don't want to get to check in and find out there's something I should have done.

Thanks

You have done everything asked of you by the US government. Don't forget to tell the UK Tax man goodbye..

Fill out a P85 form from HMRC. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/p85.pdf

Don't worry you can do it after you leave and there might be a tax refund in it for you.

Thank you, goodnight and may your gods go with you",

Strange isn't it? But yes, all you need to do is board the place with the visa in your passport, and sealed envelope in your carry-on. Have a safe flight!

Only form you have left to fill out is the customs declaration slip which you will get by the flight attendant in-flight.

Nope.

HURRAH! It does feel a bit too easy at this point. Amazing. Thank you guys! (SO EXCITED)

It only feels easy because the last year has been excruciating. Trust me, I've been there ;) Soon enough, real life will hit you, and American traffic congestion will be on the top of your worries list.

what sealed envelope?

All your immigration files are delivered from the embassy to you in a "DO NOT OPEN" brown (or white) envelope, along with your passport containing the visa. You turn it over to CBP when you enter the US. that would before you pick up checked luggage so it has to be in carryon.
