In the process of H1B renewal, should I wait to apply for Green Card or can I apply? (US)

Hello,

I am currently on H1B visa in the US and it is valid until March 2022. My employer applied for an extension for it, so I can get H1B renewal for another 3 years but I just got the receipt notice on Nov 18th. Current processing times for a normal application (without premium processing) at the service center location I have is about 4-6 months. I got married to my partner last month and we were wanting to apply for a Green Card through marriage sooner than later.

Should I wait 4-6 months until my H1B renewal is approved and I have the approval notice or can my husband start my application for the PR right away?

We are worried about H1B renewal being affected by the new application. I want to be able to work without any gaps.

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...
