What is my wifes last name?

I know this might sound silly, but my wife is finally here in America with me after a year long i-130 process (woot!). The problem is I have no idea what last name she needs to legally use. For anonymity I will say her last name is Johnson and mine is Williams.

​

When we got married we wrote her last name down as a hyphenated version of our names on the marriage cert. So, Johnson-Williams is the last name we wrote on the marriage cert that we used to start the i-130 process. However on her visa and her Social Security card it's just Johnson.

​

Our bet is that we use what's on her SSN as her legal last name, but what does that mean for our marriage cert? Do we need to get a new one?

​

Sorry if this is a dumb question I just want to be 100% sure I'm doing everything right and legally.

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...
