Issue with Lawyer

Background Hi, I am currently transitioning from F1 status to Marriage based AOS. I submitted all the forms I130, I485, I765 together in Dec. I got NBC as a center and I am in Orlando. I also hired a lawyer for my case as I didn't have any expertise. My current EAD card is set to expire next week and my work has given me 30 Day grace period before they terminate my position. My application was submitted in Dec 2020 but I have not heard anything. As I am desperate for my new EAD, I requested my lawyer to put in an expediate request for my EAD (financial loss) which was denied. It said the my case falls under normal processing times. After reading up on different posts here I found out that, generally biometric has to be done first before I can get my EAD card.

So I asked my lawyer again if they can call USCIS and may be talk with a level 2 agent and schedule my biometric appointment.

Issue The lawyer was good at start. But then it wasn't as good. The fact that my lawyer didn't let me know about the expedite request is really disappointing. There were so many times when I communicated that I am worried about my EAD expiring before the new card can come. The only reason I know about the expedite request is bcoz I read up on it here, and on different forums. Their office has been avoiding my calls for a good solid week. I was able to get hold of them today and they now claim that they spoke with the USCIS and basically said that my application is in "Line" and I will be getting the appointment shortly. I call this BS. I just think they are saying what I want to hear.

Question: I read the I can reach out to a local congressman and their office might help. Can I still do that even if my lawyer's office is not picking my calls or being this weird? Are there any recommendations or personal experiences that anyone can share?

TIA. Sorry for the long post.

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 ...
