End of my F-1 grace period, soon to be married to USC and apply for AOS, should I expect any issues to come up?

Hi, me and my fiancée (USC) have been together for almost two years now, both recently graduated from college and we've been waiting to finish our college education to get married. We have our religious wedding ceremony scheduled for mid-July and were hoping to get our courthouse wedding done before the end of my 60 day grace period, as some of the lawyers we've reached out to for counsel advised us to do so. However because of Covid-19 it took us a long while to get an appointment for our marriage license application, let alone find an open courthouse to get married in here in MI. We were able to schedule our marriage license appointment to a date that falls approximately 20 days after the end of my 60-day grace period and have our courthouse wedding scheduled the week after that. I was curious to see if this would cause us any issues (unlawful presence) with the AOS process and marriage based GC application, we will be hiring a lawyer soon to stick with us throughout the process just to be safe. I would like to hear your thoughts and experiences if you've been in a similar situation, 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 ...
