To my understanding, once you marry the USC. You will not be out of status once your TN expires.

Once you file for AOS. Your status will be pending, you will need to file forms I-765, I-131 and I-485

The total fee is $1,010.00

I am not sure but you may need to file an I-130 concurrently with your I-485

likely as well, if you get married now, you can apply to extend your EAD online and likely wont have a lapse in your status.

Marriage to a USC does not give you any special status or keep you from being out of status. The AOS application does keep you from being out of status. If the AOS is filed before the TN expires, you will not be out of status. You will need to file the I-130 along with the AOS application.

Bravo J&M.........

It is my understanding that once you file for AOS. You are considered "in-status" until (and IF) the AOS is disapproved.
