You can, but it is strongly recommended that you file BEFORE your I-94 expires.

You should also be prepared to defend your INTENT on entry at your interview with any documentation you have showing you intended to return to the UK.

thankyou, can you suggest an example of what would be some viable evidence ?

Thirdy party affidavits, school or college, bank accounts, loans, mortgage, anything like that. Any tie to the country. Dont sweat it out too much though at the moment, if you are sure you're going to stay here in the US then concentrate first on getting your AOS package in BEFORE your AOS expires, and without any mistakes, this is very important at this time. I am going through the same process as you mate, good luck!

Also if you had a job that would continue on your return to the UK. Phone bills. Lease. Anything that you would otherwise have cancelled or given up, had you not planned to return.
