AOS and taxes for USC spouse

Hello. I am a US citizen and my wife is a Philipino citizen. We met in a third foreign country where I worked for the last 7 years, but I never filed US taxes while I was abroad. She is on a visitor visa now with me in America, but because she got pregnant while we were here, and a few other unforeseen circumstances, we want to change status and convert it to a green card. Her 6 month visitor visa expires at the end of December.

We could try to renew it now, or just let it expire and do the AOS next year.

I’m thinking of filing taxes now because I know I will need the tax records for the Affidavit of Support…my questions are:

  1. Should we extend the visitor visa now or just let it expire and do AOS?

  2. Regarding taxes, Should I get my wife an ITIN first and wait until next year to file 2021, 2020, and all previous years with the ITIN as married filing jointly? Or should I just file now without an ITIN as head of household (for 2020 and all previous years.?) If we do the AOS in 2022, would they require 2021 taxes? It could take a while to get that done because I would also have to get my tax return done in the foreign country first where I was working for the first half of 2021.

Thank you!

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...
