You both keep your USC status. You  also both keep the amazing  responsibility of filing with the IRS every year, declaring your income no matter where you live 🤣

Each consulate can choose to offer DCF… or not.. The USC needs to email them and outline your request… usually it’s because of an  urgent need to relocate because of a firm
job offer for the USC. But its not guaranteed that your request will be granted. You will end up interviewing in Montreal whether you go DCF or Consular  processing. 

It is easier to get one when the names on passport I94 visa and ssn application are the same. Waiting can mean that the ssa check  processes don’t come through in the limited time period for issuing a ssn on a K1.. which then means that you have to wait until by the EAD or GC. Its needed for bank, drivers licence etc   

On the I485 form. But as you have not completed the AOS process yet, you would still be  without the SS number. This only requires the SSA to process a SSN application appropriately when the 485 is approved 

Stand alone Employment Authorization  EAD.  and travel Authorization. AP. Optional but recommended to file at the same time as the AOS.. no fee when co filed.. they are processed much faster than AOS and allow you to work and leave the country and report if needed before the AOS is completed

When you were filling out your AOS forms, there was a box on it that asked if you wanted them to apply for your SSN for you. 
 
 
I take it you did not follow VJ's guides and found some other site to follow. 
Here is the link check to the guides

System needs continuity. Do what it takes to keep it happy 

Incorrect.  The stamped passport is the temporary gc document until the physical card arrives.

From what i read i know that certain benefits are no longer available such as health. I don’t know specifics 

Book flights in the name on the passport. Carry the marriage certificate as evidence of name change .. it links the passport name with the GC name

This is not a problem 

As each case processing time is so dependent on so many things .. most out of your control!!  Neither estimates can be thought of as accurate for a specific application. The estimates  are both statistical calculations but there is no way of knowing where your  particular case will end up on that timeline.
 
Unfortunately, it’s not like a parcel tracker with USPS, Fedex etc 

While it is not recommended to be without a current passport, if he was to not leave the US until he naturalized, then he can live here without a current Nepalese passport. Usually expired passports are still valid for a ID purposes for a period of time 

Yep agreed. Trouble. Don't leave without it. 

You must have both the expired green card and the extension letter

I had success with the passport a couple of times too   The CBP officer will ask to see the GC if needed. 

When i was an LPR and entering using the GE gate, the GC scan was more miss than hit. Yes the reverse side goes down onto the screen as it reads the machine code like it does for a passport   Thankfully the facial recognition is easier. Am now a USC   so I am done with the GC problems too
