Immigration Policy regarding travel on a Marriage based green card/ I130 form

Hey guys

My fiance is a US citizen. And I am a Pakistani citizen with a valid B1/B2 visa till 2023.So my fiance and I plan to get married in October 2020 hopefully. He wants to apply for immigration as soon as we are married. But I have heard that the process takes a long time.

I have a few questions:

  1. Will my valid B1/B2 visa be void if immigration process is started? i.e. submission of I130 form (awaiting marriage based green card status)
  2. If my B1/B2 visa is still usable, can I travel to the United states for a short while, maybe 2 weeks? just to appear for an exam? to return to Pakistan after the short trip.
  3. if my B1/B2 visa is void after filing for the I130 form. On average how long might it take for the green card to come through? different sources say 10 mnths to 18 mnths if the wedding takes place outside of the united states.
  4. If my wedding does take place with in the United states. Is the processing for the I130 form faster? if so by how much?
  5. If i'm in the states, got married here, awaiting my green card after filing the I130 form. Can i go back to Pakistan for an extended period of time to complete a few exams/work for upto 6 months? or will i be stuck in Pakistan if i return, and be unable to return to the states till my paperwork comes through?

These are just a few questions. But this is a confusing time for me. Please help me out if anyone can!

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...
