Problems in F1 status to EAD/Green Card (through marriage).

Currently, I am on F1 and have applied for I-485 (through marriage). USCIS sent me an date for Biometrics exam, but one week later they sent letter saying that few documents were missing from my application. I will be graduating in May. And, since it is almost April, I am unsure what to do. I was hopeful that I would get my EAD on time and hence did not apply for my OPT. Any suggestion on which option I should choose - apply for OPT or extend my graduation to September. Or any other third option?
Also, will applying for OPT interfere/leave a negative impact on my green card application? (I am wondering because they might ask why I am going two separate routes - OPT & I-485).
Also, does any know how long it is usually take to get EAD processed when applying for green card through marriage. Thanks!
