Legal Options for J1 Au Pair Marrying US Citizen

I will be marrying my fiancé soon and have a few questions I hope you all can help me with. She is an Au Pair (J1 Visa) from Czech Republic and her Visa expires some time next month. Our plan is to ultimately move to Europe together in 2-3 years, but for now we want to make sure she stays here in a legal way and is able to work legally.

We figured going through I-130, I-485, and I-765 is the only way, is this correct? Or is there some other way since we don’t plan to stay here and it would be nice to save all the form fees!

Based in Maryland, any estimates on how long this process takes? Specifically to get work auth.

Also, I thought I read somewhere that after marriage the J1 becomes invalid/expired...is this true/what exactly does that mean?

Thank you!

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...
