Status of Adjustment (From F1 to Green card). Kindly Help!!

Hey Guys, I came into the states on an F-1 visa and graduated in May 2020. I am currently on OPT (Optical Practical Training) and looking for a job right now. I have a gf who is a citizen and we are planning to get married soon. It's not like contract marriage as you might have heard some stories. We've been together for 7 years.

While being on opt, F1 holders have to report to SEVIS service about their employment in the first 90 days since they receive the EAD card. My 90 days period will be ended on Nov. 12. So we are planning to get married on Nov. 2. After that, we are planning to file for a green card application so that I can stay here legally. As you might have thought, I only have 10 days for the green card application. My question is if I fail/delay the application process, will I be illegal after Nov. 12?

I tried to talk with my friends who went through the same procedure. They told me that once you are married to US citizens, you can legally stay here even though there is a delay in the green card application. Is this true? And from the current scenario, how long would it take to receive your green card based EAD card?

Thank you.

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 ...
