At this point you are still several months away, more so if you decide to slow walk the process by scheduling interviews and medical appointments as late as possible without things expiring.
Just remember, so many people were so close to being with their loved one and BAM!!!, the covid mumbo jumbo happened and they were stuck in limbo for a couple of years. Crazy things can cause delays, especially considering we are in an election year, just about the same time when all the silliness happened last time. Whatever your extenuating circumstances are, I would bet you can overcome them rather than experience the delays that happened for many of us a few years ago.
