Go online on I-94 website and tell us when it was set to expire. That will be pivotal.

So is the I-20

It says D/S, the F1 visa stamp on my passport says 22 Dec 2024. My i-20 has program start/end date at 30 December 2023, current session date from 30 August 2021 to 21 December 2021.

When did you arrive in the US? 
when did your visa expire?

when did you leave school/ fall out of status? 
why did you not leave in May?- flights were cancelled or you wanted to get to know your husband better?

How soon after you met your husband did you get married? 
 

I arrived August 31st, 2021.

My visa never expired I fell "out of status" because I didn't enroll in enough classes during that semester (all F-1 needs to enroll in school full-time, wanted to apply for "reduced course load but my medical documents weren't ready in time). I fell out of status December 24th of 2021.

I didn't leave bc I didn't get the right Covid test for China and I couldn't board. I did want to get to know my husband better too.

We got married August 1st, 2022.

Inquired a lawyer on the same issue and this was his response. I really hope he's right. Wanted to put this here to see if anyone has tried his service or general thoughts. Thanks again guys.

Notice he used the word "generally".  He didn't address your specific situation.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

So there's your answer. What else do you need? 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
