About the status of an old and approved I-130

The I-130 application that my mother(US resident back then, citizen now) filled on my behalf was approved when I was 15 years old. However, I never made use of it and stayed in my home country.

I think the application might not have expired because:

  1. My mother asked about it during her US citizenship interview (5 years ago), and they told her that my case shouldn't be closed and just pending.
  2. The first time that I applied for a B1/B2 visa (one year ago), the first thing that the consular officer asked me was to show him my US resident card (which I didn't had obviously). He explicitly said that I had an approved an pending immigration application. The interview was very long but my visa was approved that time (but for one month only).
  3. The second time that I applied for a B1/B2 visa (one year ago also), my visa was rejected (unlike my first interview, this one was very short). In both occasions the reason for traveling was to attend an academic conference. I suspect that consular officer just rejected it based on the old I-130 (although he didn't ask about it).

Now I'm 28 years old (single) and want to go for a PhD to the US next year. What should I do ?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

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...
