generally speaking, for those in your situation that provision is largely ignored as a courtesy to the USC.

Means it is usually forgiven, but file ASAP.

You won't have to leave. Just put in the AOS. No where does it state there "is no rush to file", just protect your status by filing in a timely manner.

It means you are out of status right now. When you apply for AOS it does not matter

if you have overstayed or your I-94 expired at the time of application (before AOS Received date)

ONLY as long as

1) You are married to a USC AND

2) You have entered to US in a legal way (i.e. you've been inspected by a Custom Officer at POE)

Postponing AOS application has got one big disadvantage which is a deportation.

Meaning that you souldn't get caught by ICE because you are out of status & you haven't applied for AOS yet.

In your current situation, another point is that "Being married to USC does not rescue you from deportation !....."

If I were you I would file my AOS application ASAP.

GOOD LUCK !....
