I am GC holder since 1992, applying for US citizenship PD 5/25/2004. My fiancee is on F1-OPT which expires 7/2005. She has been living me since last 2 years (since she moved from India) . Iam planning to apply for her GC when i get my citizenship. we did both travel to india together last year (dont know whether it matters)

Questions:
At what point should we get married? after my interview, after my oath, now?

we will file 130/485/765/131 together
should she use her maiden name?
is it unsafe to apply 485/AOS (family based) from F1 status (non-intent based)? should she try H1 first?
how long does it take for EAD to come back after she applies?
what is her status after applying for EAD (she is cuurently on OPT/EAD)?
what are the cahnces of 485 getting rejected?

answers appreciated
