I-130 Now or After?

Greetings all! First time poster here in need of your knowledgeable advice please!

I am a U.S. Soldier stationed here in Colorado and my wife is a German citizen (I married her when I was stationed over there via a Montana proxy marriage) living in Nuremberg.

I understand the first place to start is filing the I-130, but when talking to an attorney, I was informed if I start it now, while she’s in Germany, I’d have to wait until it’s complete for her to come to America. On the other hand, the attorney also informed me I can wait until Jan 2021 (when she wants to move here), wait 30 days, and then start the I-130 form.

Obviously I’m new to all this so I’m here, humbly asking for more experienced advice. Also, should I go about hiring an attorney (Quoted $800 service fee plus $500 to file) or use the visajourney site I’ve read most people here have used?

Thank you all in advance!

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...
