My undergrad employer filed for Perm while on OPT, will I be approved for my grad school OPT & STEM OPT extension?

Hi everyone!

Before I left for grad school, my undergrad OPT employer had applied for PERM for me, but after about a year or so, it fell through and was denied. My employer and lawyer refiled again, and am now waiting on the prevailing wage determination.

I am currently in grad school - will be graduating Spring 2022, and am worried that my OPT will not be approved because of that. Hoping for some insights and advice if anyone knows what the situation here will be.

On top of that, I will also be applying for STEM OPT this time around as well. Should I be worried that it will be a cause for denial?

​

I found these two links (about STEM OPT extension), one saying that it doesn't matter, and another one saying it does, so I'm really looking for some clarification here:

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...
