Regarding change of status - H1B

I am on H1B cap exempt and a new employer is filing for change of status to H1B non-exempt. I passed the lottery last month. My current h1b is valid for another 2 years.

I have a very strong reason (personal/ medical) reason to not change job till end of the year. I wish to start new job in January. I have couple of questions:-

  1. With change of status, can I continue to work for my present employer from Oct to December? Or I really have to jump to new employer in Oct?

  2. In case I don't join my new employer, can I look for a different employer under non-exempt? This is when my new employer is not willing to wait or something like that.

Eager to listen about my options.

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...
