F1 OPT to Adjustment of Status for GC

Hi all,

I am currently on a F1 OPT which will expire at the end of August this year. I got married to my (now) wife, last December. Since then I have been preparing my own Permanent residency paperwork and am now almost ready to file. Quick question though:

1.) I am filing another EAD application since my OPT ends in August. Do I file it as a “new application” or a “renewal”? Additionally, once I receive a 1-797 (notice of approval), will I be able to keep working even if my original OPT EAD expires in August or will I have to stop and wait until my new EAD arrives?

2.) for those who have applied in similar situations recently, what has the general time line been for you? How long for ead/travel authorizations to get approved? How long for interviews?

Any help or input will be appreciated.

Thank you.

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...
