Essential Land Border Travel Include Those with EAD?

The language online is very vague so apologies if this has been asked before/is a super simple question.

Me: I am a Canadian citizen, living and looking for work in NYC with my American spouse, waiting for my I-485 (permanent residency based on marriage) to be approved. I have a work permit combo card which includes advanced parole to re-enter the US (I-131/I-765 approved). I am also fully vaccinated with an FDA approved vaccine (was vaccinated in NY, last dose in April).

I have been in Niagara Falls, Canada visiting family for about a month, but now I'm trying to get back to NYC. The simplest and fastest way for me to get home to NYC is to walk across the US border at the rainbow bridge and fly from buffalo to NYC, because it doesn't involve going to Toronto or getting a covid test (my family literally lives 20 minutes away from the rainbow bridge). However, I am concerned that I am not considered "essential travel" and may not be allowed across the land border.

Does anyone have experience with this? Would I be allowed to cross with my documentation?

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...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
