Pregnant UK fiance with a canceled L1 appointment

My partner (UK Citizen) and I (US Citizen) have been together for about 2 years after meeting through working for the same company. We have been trying to figure out a way to be in the same country for over a year now, weighing our options in both the US and the UK.

Early this year, she accepted a role within the company that would allow her to finally move to the US with the company sponsoring her on an L1A visa. Her application was submitted and her appointment at the consulate in London scheduled for July 21 in the midst of the COVID19 situation. Around this same time, we found out we were expecting our first child to be due in early November. With the new EO issued this week, her appointment has been officially canceled and we are devastated.

While we absolutely intend to get married and have entertained it as an option to get her to the US, we initially held off on initiating the K1 or CR1 process to allow for the L1 to go through. In the absence of an L1 visa for the time being, I am trying to determine if there are any other ways for her to get here before she's due.

I am worried that a K1 or CR1 will take too long at this point in time. Would it be possible to get married either via non-military proxy marriage or in a country that is currently issuing marriage licenses to allow for her to be classed as the spouse of a US citizen and resubmit her L1 application under that exemption? Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

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...
