I suggest you file I-131 ASAP. If you leave the US without an AP or GC, your I-485 will be considered abandoned, and you will need to apply for a spouse visa if you want to return to the US.

What is your I-485 case status at https://egov.uscis.gov/ ?

Not a problem if you also submitted a copy of your US birth certificate.

*** Moved from K1 Progress Reports to K1 Process & Procedures *** No need to submit a copy of all pages of your US passport. Only need a copy of your passport bio page, plus any page that has passport stamps evidencing visits to your beneficiary's country or vacations taken together. Also, if you submitted a copy of your unexpired US passport bio page, there was no need to submit a copy of your US birth certificate too. Only one proof of US citizenship is required. You might be reading some outdated guide page or forum thread. Always refer to the official USCIS form page for the definitive instructions.

Did you DIY both the I-130 and I-751? Or did a lawyer file on your behalf?

I-130 and I-751 cannot be under the same account. Remember that I-130 is a petition by the USC, while I-751 is by the immigrant, even if filed jointly with their USC spouse.

Visa medical is valid for only 6 months (maximum). Better to wait for your interview schedule confirmation before booking the medical.

On the DS-260, list your wife's name as it appears on her PH passport. Then in the DS-260 section for "Other Names Used", list her maiden name as it appears on her PSA birth certificate, and all other names she may have used in her civil documents. No need to worry about NVC, as it's not their job to scrutinize the middle name. At your wife's visa interview, if the consulate staff ever ask about the name listed on the I-130, she should explain that it was a typo error, assuming she really has not used the format "first name, maiden middle name, husband's last name" in any other document.

As long as you don't end up staying illegally in Canada or getting in trouble with the law while you are there, staying or working legally in Canada will not cause issues with your K1 process. Make sure that you apply for or renew your NBI clearance before leaving the PH as it's more of a hassle to get your clearance while you are abroad. You will need your PSA CENOMAR as well, but you may order that online, and you should do so only within 6 months of your visa interview. Also, if you are going to meet your fiance in Canada anyway, why not get married and pursue CR1 spouse visa instead? You didn't mention having any 18+ year old kids, so not sure why K1 would be better in your case.

Regardless of where the vaccinations were administered, I-693 is not required if DS-3025 is marked complete. Even if all vaccinations were administered at a private clinic, as long as the vax documentation is accepted at the visa medical and the DS-3025 is marked complete, I-693 would not be required. As mentioned above, some applicants with completed DS-3025 are given RFE for I-693 because the adjudicating IO for their case is not familiar with the K1 exemption. Or maybe the DS-3025 sent from CBP got lost somewhere in the stacks of documents at USCIS. To reduce the risk of getting RFE for I-693, include a photocopy of the completed DS-3025 in your I-485 package.

That name format is not acceptable under Philippine law. Yes, there is a law for married names for Filipinas, and yes, the US embassy in Manila is very familiar with it. Options are: traditional format (like in your wife's passport), retain full maiden name only, or hyphenate maiden last name with husband's surname. On the DS-260, make sure to use the name listed on your wife's PH passport, with her maiden last name as her new middle name. As mentioned above, regardless of the name listed on the I-130 (or the DS-260), the name on the visa will match whatever name is listed on the applicant's passport submitted at the interview. After US entry, the SSN card and the green card will list whatever name is on the immigrant visa.
