F1 to AOS

I came to US 2 years ago to attend a school on an F1 visa. My wife (USC) and I had no intention to get married when I first entered the US 2 years ago. We knew each other but started dating while I was living with roommates when I first moved here for 5 months. We then moved in together. I proposed to her 6 months later and she said yes. I continued my school and went to my home country for a vacation at the end of last year. I came back and we eloped more than a month later. Currently, i have finished school and I am working on OPT. We still haven’t applied for AOS and it’s been 6 months since I reentered and 5 months since we got married. What’s a good timeline to apply given that we did get married within 90 days of reentering? Can I extend my OPT for another 2 years (STEM) even when i have an AOS EAD pending once I apply in case I don’t receive my AOS EAD in time?

Edit: the office at reentry did not ask me anything but which school I was attending and asked for my i20. And no, I did not know about such a rule on F1 visa given that my thinking was still to finish my school and I wouldn’t want to change my visa status in the middle of attending a school.

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...
