Probably. They will want to know why your friend lied on her RoC, since the instructions clearly state to include all children regardless of whether they live with you or not.

AP isn't tied to a passport, so she can use her new passport alongside her AP without issue.

They will go through her entire immigration file, yes.

No it is not. If people don't count right it can mean they are a day or few off when filing and will get rejected. Scandi is right. 

My understanding is that the 3 year rule applies only to spouses of US citizens.

Until your status changes to "issued", it isn't approved.......Yes, you can ask them to return your passport....but it will probably result in even longer administrative processing......

Go to a different office.
Speak to a different agent.
Talk to a supervisor.
Then talk to the office manager.
 
They are wrong.
You do not need to be married to apply for an SSN.
You should only apply in your maiden name whether married or not. 
Do note that the application doesn't even ask for your marital status so your best bet is to shut your mouth about being married to avoid them being confused. Apply in your MAIDEN name regardless of Marital status!
*so tired of the SSA's ignorance.

No, they work on their own schedule.
 
It is highly suggested not to do any sort of ceremony prior to entry on the K-1 visa. It can result in being denied entry.
Enter the US, marry, file for AOS + AP + EAD. Once the AP is granted, then you can have whatever celebration you want abroad.
 
Edit: To clarify the timeline, the visa will be valid for up to 6 months, but constrained by the validity of the medical. The medical is typically valid for up to 6 months.

There is no advantage to them approving the petition quickly. The biggest holdup for F1 is the Priority Date (PD). Even if they approved the petition tomorrow, the case would just sit at NVC waiting for the PD to become current. This is due to annual limits on F1 visas, not processing capacity. As long as they approve the petition a little before the PD is current, it won't slow down your case at all. Visa Bulletin: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin.html Depending on the country of chargeability, the current PD for F1 is anywhere from 2012 to 1996. If the beneficiary has any children, the longer the I-130 is pending, the more CSPA coverage they have (if they intend to immigrate as well). There is no way to move your case to another SC. USCIS will transfer them - or not - according to their own internal load balancing scheme. USCIS processing timelines: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ It sounds like VSC is handling June 2011 cases right now, so your case is within normal timelines.

This is an incorrect understanding of the calculation. His current income is $0. What he made last year has no impact on current income. What he intends to make this year has no impact on current income.
Assets can be used, although these assets alone were deemed insufficient. The CO makes a decision based upon the totality of the circumstances. They determined it was insufficient. He either needs a job to show sufficient current income or to find a co sponsor.
 
A few other notes...
The link you posted is in the AFM. DOS does not use the AFM. They use the FAM instead. The link you posted refers to the I-864. The I-134 is a different form used solely as a guideline for the CO to determine the public charge concern.  
To respond to the specific questions:
Many people. By "fight", do you mean argue your case or resolve the issue? If you want to plead your case, good luck...you're not going to find somebody to overrule the decision. You can resolve the issue with a sufficient sponsor. The embassy/consulate will normally hold the petition for up to a year. Keep in contact with them. If you exceed the validity period of the medical, they will require a new medical exam and possibly a new interview. You cannot just get a new interview upon your request, nor would there be any benefit in doing so.

UK is still offering DCF for cases where both USC and the spouse are legally residing in the UK. Other countries only offer it in exceptional circumstances. As the overseas offices that deal with immigration are being closed down , DCF will discontinued   in the next year or so. 
DCF is much faster.. you will need a joint sponsor .. go for it now !! Otherwise you will need to do the  Consular processing which will take 12 months. Your douse remains living outside the US until the process is completed. 

Raise it at the interview and they’ll change your answer to yes. 

An unusual situation, likely triggered by the two month overstay. 
 
Had your wife shown them her I-485 NoA at their initial visit to your home, this may have been able to all be avoided. I doubt they knew she had already filed for AoS when they decided to come and speak with her. 
 
At her next monthly check in you should request her passport back and for them to drop her case and their monthly check in requirement, since she has now filed her AoS and is outside of ICE's jurisdiction until a decision is made on her I-485.
 
Should ICE decline to return her passport and/or drop the case then that's the point where I would get her embassy involved and retain competent legal counsel.

It's not her personal property. It's the property of whatever country that issued that passport. 

Just to clarify, one is still out of status after their I-94 expires. The pending I-485 grants a period of authorized stay instead.
