[O1 VISA] O1 Visa Holder facing issues with a full time job opportunity

I have been having O1 visa under the agent petition. I've had it twice.

I've recently got the full time opportunity that I want as a designer with a big firm, however, it seems like they want to change my "agent" petition to "employer" petition visa. What's worse is that it's been extremely difficult to get a hold of the firm's lawyer to talk about it. They seem to be making a lot of decisions in a closed door.

The latest update that I got from the HR is that the timeline would be 6-13 weeks and my hiring manager is going to ask his manager wether they will be able to do it or not.

I have friends who have recently changed from an "agent" to "employer" O1 by using the premium processing that can guarantee to hear back in a couple weeks. I think the timeline that the HR mentioned seems oddly long and can hurt my candidacy for the job.

Any advice/experiences from somebody who's has gone through a similar process? I am struggling on how to approach this situation. I want to tell my hiring manager that the timeline 2-8 weeks can be a lot shorter.

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...
