We completed an approximately six year process from K1 -> AOS -> ROC -> Citizenship back in mid-August this year.  I updated our timeline back then, but I just felt the need to log in and take a moment to give thanks, so:

Thank you so much to VisaJourney and its community!  We seriously could not have done this without you. 
 
This is quite possibly the most useful and active forum on the internet.  Anytime we had a question, the answer could be found here and/or we could ask it ourselves and get a solid answer.  Those answers always came back same day, if not within seconds or minutes from posting.  Even the most obscure issues are solved here in a moments notice.  You've helped us save thousands of dollars avoiding the use of an immigration lawyer, and rescued us from millions of headaches or bouts of anxiety.  The knowledge here far exceeds anything that could've been paid for professionally, and all of it.. at no cost to us. 
 
The end-result: I get to be together with my wife, every day, and for the rest of my life.  Plus, she now has all of the same rights as any other American citizen, and soon... her passport will arrive in the mail and we can finally travel to places we've only ever dreamed of seeing.
 
I feel like the best way to continue giving thanks is to stick around and help other members of the community with the knowledge we've learned along the way from our experiences and from you.
 
Once again, and with the utmost appreciation and regard for all of you here, thank you!  I wish you all the best in your own visa journey and in your lives moving forward beyond it.

Right?! Visajourney is the best, I wouldn't have made it without VJ either, best forum I have ever been active on. Not only an interesting forum, but also an extremely valuable one - in regards to knowledge but also the money you save on being able to get through the journey without having to pay for help. So grateful for this forum. 

Good for you - Congratulations. 

Congrats on your journey. Definitely share your experiences and knowledge where you can.

I may have created a misunderstanding, and appreciate you clearing it up.  I misunderstood that  some sort of name change came through on the notice, but not as wife desired..and of course got lost in the detail of maiden as middle. 

As you indicate, at oath , if name is not perfectly as wanted, there are records to get it corrected as a USCIS error. 
So cancel last transmission, and follow @Scandi advice 

I don't see the problem I'm afraid. She will not change name until she has had her ceremony, so every communication from USCIS before that will still have her old name. She changes name once the ceremony is done. 

It's normal for the interviewing officer to ask about the name change and then add the name in the system, and for the applicant to approve the name change by singing (nowadays on a tablet type screen). I did the same. I had requested a name change on my N-400 form and the officer at my interview asked me about it, had me look at the name on the screen to make sure it as spelled correctly and then I had to sign to approve it.

My oath ceremony notice was in my old name, as it should be. My new name was on my naturalization certificate and the name change document, both received AFTER the ceremony of course.

Were you at the N-400 interview? To me it sounds like your wife misunderstood what was said tbh. 

Whatever happened BEFORE the N-400 interview (AOS, ROC whatever) doesn't matter. What matters is that the officer added the name change request in the system and your wife verified and approved it. That's all. The name she requested is the name she will have on her naturalization certificate (NOT on any letters from USCIS before the ceremony, and after the ceremony there won't be anymore letters from USCIS). She will use the certificate to change her name with SSA. 

Reschedule the oath sounds completely ludicrous to me, as I still can't see the issue you think you have. 

Thanks much

Hi, finally a positive update after many long months.  Just got our interview letter in the mail today, scheduled for April 23

Last update green card received with success. 

Same for us, also on the 18th, just saw the notice today, have not been getting email or text updates despite being signed up for everything via the packet and the website.  It went from fingerprints being applied last month, to new card being produced now.

Just saw on the website that my new card is being produced! So relieved!! 

Since this appears to be a website glitch, I would suggest contacting Visa Journey technical support staff.
There is a Contact Us link at the bottom.

Thanks again @Loren Y, unfortunately we checked her SS card and it still has the DHS approval message on it.  I think we messed up there, because she had an SS under her maiden name from a J1 visa trip prior to our K1.  We updated the SS to our married name after applying for AOS, i guess we needed to update it again after.  I think we’ll still have to do the stamp thing if the letter doesn’t arrive soon enough  

She doesn't check the us citizen box, she checks box number 3 as a LPR and writes in the A number. You don't have to show proof of your A number just attest to it and that you are a LPR. Then you prove identity with a state issued ID or license, and then you have to prove you are legally allowed to work in the US, and that is done with the unrestricted social security card that gives you work authorization. As long as she doesn't check the box saying she is a US citizen, she is golden.
You can get the I551 stamp also, but that may prove difficult currently, but maybe since they are allowing emergency services at local USCIS offices with an appointment. 
The only benefit of a green card is it kills 2 birds with one stone, it's proves identity, and right to work in one document. All you have to prove for the I-9 is identity and right to work in the US. Your status you are just attesting to under penalty of purgery. 
The I551 stamp and passport would be better for everyone, but if you don't have it the 2 document verification should work out fine. Some HR people aren't the brightest, but hopefully she gets a job with a competent person.

She doesn’t need to show any proof of her status until her first day at work, and that’s when they will give her couple of days to provide it. So if you do not get the extension letter by the time the employer starts the background check process, she will need to call USCIS to make an appointment to get a stamp in the passport (she will need some kind of documentation  from her prospective employer requesting evidence of her status, otherwise they might not let her see anyone in the immigration building). If you read the I-9 form, you will see that the stamp is a valid proof of residence.
 
Her ID and social security card would’ve been enough if she was a citizen. Since she’s a resident, she can’t check that box (otherwise she will never get her citizenship).
 
So don’t worry - you have plenty of time to wait for the letter of get the stamp.

OP's wife was not working under a work permit.  She is a legal resident with legal status via her green card.  Her work authority and status as a legal resident continues as her status did not expire.

I'm assuming as soon as you got your green card you went and had the wording " Requires DHS permit etc." Off of her social security card, so you should have a standard SS card now with no restrictions. All that is required for employment is State ID, drivers license, and Social security card acts as the secondary proof for employment. You shouldn't even need a green card to be Hired for the job, unless you have to prove US citizenship for a government job or something. One document from list A is nice, and covers both things at once, but as long as you have 1 from list B, and 1 from list C you are just as good. Here is the link to the I-9.
