OPT vs GC/AOS EAD

Hi,

Wife is finishing up school and just recently applied for her OPT EAD and requested an SSN with it. We're also preparing to file our GC documents and I know an option is to apply for an EAD (seems to be a different one than the OPT version) as part of this process as well.

Our advisor is saying it'll be fine to receive the OPT EAD first and then request a replacement EAD after she has received the OPT EAD which would be different from requesting a new EAD. Would this work or should we still file for a work permit/EAD with our GC application? Asking because our advisor has been wrong several times and I am trying to think through any issues with this plan as we need to make sure that we have her GC EAD before her OPT expires for work sponsorship reasons.

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...
