Soon to be married and trying to figure out how to juggle immigration status between the US, Japan, and Canada. Any help appreciated.

I am soon to be married to my Japanese fiancée in Japan. Later this year, we intend on temporarily staying in the US, where I am a citizen. However, at some point in 2022 we will be making a move to Canada, where I am a permanent resident.

We eventually plan to settle down in Canada, and I have a good sense of the process she will need to go through to become a permanent resident like me. However, during our stopover in the US (likely 8 months or so) I am not sure how to handle her immigration status. I understand that she can enter the country as a tourist for 90 days, but what is our best option for her to be able to stay and work during those 8 months? PR processing times seem to be very lengthy in the US and I'm not sure if she would be able to maintain American PR anyway.

Tangentially, if she were to get a US green card, what would be the future ramifications of losing it while we are in Canada? If we decide to move back to the US in the future, would she be less likely to receive another green card?

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...
