With the current pandemic, any advice on choice between K1 and CR1 (UK>US)

Hi everyone

Firstly an apology as I know a lot of information is out there however there is so much of it and I am feeling really overwhelmed. A lot of it predates the pandemic and I am having a hard time figuring out the best course of action.

I have recently become engaged to my US fiance and we are trying to work out which is the likely quicker route to me being in the US and preferably able to work.

My general understanding from what I've read seems to be that prior to the pandemic the K1 would have been quicker but now there is a huge backlog and therefore the CR1 would be better although much lengthier, up to two years from the marriage? This seems like a terrifyingly long wait.

A more particular question, if current conditions remained, could I even travel to the USA on a K1 visa right now?

At this moment we haven't booked a wedding and I am just looking for any advice or experience someone here might be able to offer. We are not especially worried about what the route costs at this time, it really just comes down to time.

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...
