This is kind of a shot-in-the-dark guess, so please forgive me if my advise is not right. But I have a friend who was in a similar situation, he was working here in the US on a TN for a number of years and then married a USC. Technically you are not allowed to get a green card from a TN, so maybe that's why they denied you on your AOS but the K3 is still pending.
Inaccurate; you are not supposed to have immigrant-intent to obtain the initial TN-1--but that does not mean a TN-1 holder cannot "develop" immigrant-intent afterwards.

It is feasible to get a GC from TN-1 (without going throug H1-b, or any other "transitional"). BTW, I've actually done it (through work--PM me if you want the complete story with rantings).

What he had to do while waiting for the green card was reapply for another TN. He also had a lawyer, so my suggestion would be to get one.
Good recommendation.

I will recommend an excellent attorney, who used to be a INS inspector.
