How early should one try to get a marriage-based green card?

My wife (British) and I (USA) live in Vietnam where I work as a US government contractor. We are likely to be here for another two years, and may extend or move to a third country for a similar period after this, but longer term we are considering making the US our home. How long before making such a move does it make sense to apply for a green card? Given how long it seems to take, I am thinking we could get started on the process with the Embassy here.

Another question if anyone has any thoughts. I have already gone completely through the UK immigration system and now have a British passport myself. Would the documents I used and received for that process (i.e., I had several years on a spousal visa in the UK) be useful evidence of the validity of our relationship? Would the fact that my wife is my dependent for visa purposes in Vietnam?

Thanks very much for your help.

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...
