Questions about I-485 form

I’m applying for AOS based on marriage to a USC, and I have some questions that need to be clarified. A little background about myself, I was a F1 student and was working on OPT for the past year, OPT expired on July 11, 2020 and I’m currently on the 60-day grace period, which ends on September 9, 2020. My most recent entry to the US was in November last year, and I entered as OPT.

On page 2 of the form, item 23c, it asks my status on form i94, should I put F1? Somehow my form only allows me to put letters and space in it... but I guess I can just hand write it when I print it out (if F1 is what I should put in there) On page 3 item 24, what is your current immigration status, should I put “out if status”? Or something else? As I mentioned earlier, my opt has already expired but I’m still in grace period, which allows me to stay here legally. And on page 11 item 17, have you ever violated the terms or conditions of your Nonimmigrant status, should I check yes or no? I assume I can check no as long as I submit the application before my grace period runs out? If that’s the case (checking no on that question), should I still include an explanation on my current opt status? And as for my i20, my most recent one states that I’ve applied for OPT, but it doesn’t show my employment information during OPT, does that matter? Or should I get a more updated one? Also did anyone file recently? Did you include the form i944? I understand there’s some updates that only 3 states are exempted, but it’s not official yet according to the USCIS website? I have most of the documents ready but would still like to skip this step.

I’m trying to send my application by next weekend before my OPT grace period runs out, or at least before the fee change. Thanks a lot in advance! Any help would be appreciated!

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...
