Feeling overwhelmed with options, can you help? (Marriage visa question)

Hey everyone, I'm (33M, US citizen) and my girlfriend is (29F, Chinese citizen). We were together for a year in China before I moved back to the US when the virus broke out. We have decided we want to get married and be together. We are looking into the K1 Fiance Visa, but I was reading that most people dislike the K1 visa and say do your best to get a CR1 visa. Issue is, aren't married and I cannot enter China right now to marry her (no tourism allowed). Do you think we should both try to go to a place like Thailand to get married so we can apply for a CR1 visa or just proceed with a K1 Visa?

It's my understanding that even when she gets a K1 visa, it could take ANOTHER year on top of it to get a green card to be able to work in the US legally. I'm just so confused/overwhelmed with what to do. I haven't seen her in a year and it's going to be another year before I see her again. Thank you for any advice!

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...
