Legally married but culturally engaged. What visa to apply to?

All right so long story short I'm from the middle East but I live and am a US citizen. Me and my "Wife" (That's what I tell all my friends she is or anybody that asks) are legally married but culturally engaged, and you might be wondering what the hell's the difference? Well it's basically that we do all the legal paperwork at the beginning with the engagement ceremony, and when we want to get "married" we just throw another ceremony and then we're allowed to bone and that's really the difference (so basically no sex before "marriage" and we need to throw a party). So now here's the thing I filed an i-130 for her and USCIS just to approved us! Now here's what I really need guidance on, am I going through the right process? Should I have done a k-1 visa or the CR-1/I-130?

I filed the I-130 and I-130A with USCIS. I also got an email from the NVC about my next steps and I started off by paying the fees. Thanks for any help that you might offer!

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...
