Adjustment of Status with TN extension on the process

Hi everyone, the attorney at work submitted my paperwork with Premium processing on October 16th for an extension of my visa TN (the current one expires on Nov 11). I haven't get the receipt yet which means they haven't star working in my case (right?).

On the other hand, I'm engaged and my bf (American citizen) and me (Mexican) want to elope in the next two weeks. I talked with my personal attorney and she suggested to do it now and start the paperwork asap for the adjustment of status (green card through marriage) even if I haven't get the TN extension yet.

She also told me that as soon as we submitted the paperwork, my TN visa is automatically canceled and that I need to speak with my boss to see if they would let me work without a TN and until I get the permit to work.

I am so confused because both attorneys, the one at work and my personal, are telling me different information.

Questions... 1) Is it okay to start AND submit the AOS now even without getting the TN extension yet? Or should I wait (and why)?

2) Do the people on immigration working on my TN will know that I also submit an AOS paperwork? And if so, that will affect my TN extension application? (The attorney told me they wouldn't notice and one process won't mess with the other one)

3) Will my TN get canceled immediately after submitting AOS paperwork? (I thought that once having the TN extended, I will be able to continue working until I get the permit work)

4) If so, how I can continue working legally without loosing/interrupting my job?

5) How long does the whole process is taking, and how long does it take to get the work permit?

6) Can I get married and don't start the AOS immediately? If so, for how long I can wait and stay with the TN?

I know there are a lot of questions, but I have been getting so much clarity with you guys here on reddit, I'll appreciate if you at least know about one question and take the time to answer. Thanks!

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...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
