Has anyone else gone through a serious identity crisis at some point?

I don't know if this is the right place to post but I don't see any other subreddit where I can discuss this (let me know if there is).
I am the son of Polish immigrants and the United States is technically the only country I know. My parents did a really good job (probably too good) at raising me as a Pole. In addition to my family, I grew up in a Polish neighborhood and my friends were always Polish-Americans. Right now I am 21 and next year I will graduate college. I am having a hard time because I really want to move to Poland after college and so I can't get myself to make any long-term plans in America. My parents tell me that I am "romanticizing" Poland as being an escape from my challenges in the United States but I really can't stop thinking about Poland and I get anxiety when I imagine having a future in the United States.

I guess my parents just can't imagine why I would want to go back to the country that they voluntary left so they could come to the US for a better life and their children. And so, they offer no help. My friends just basically tell me to "go there and see if you like it." I want to know if what I am going through is a normal phase or if maybe I should consider moving and seeing what happens.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
