Let's get to the bottom line, shall we?

You filed for AOS, received the NOA. At that very moment, your status changed from lawful non-immigrant visitor to lawful non-immigrant visitor pending AOS to Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).

Not only can't you leave without jeopardizing your application, nor should you. You are as legal as the President of the United States here and will be until your AOS petition is decided upon.

If the decision is positive, which is the default, you have become an LPR. If it's negative, you have 30 days to get your stuff packed and to leave the US of A.

Welcome to America!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thanks for getting to the point Bob! But I haven't filed for AOS yet, my husband has only sent the I-130 petition away (5 weeks ago and we have only receieved a receipt saying that they have only received the petition). We will be sending the AOS application off on Monday after I have had my medical exam. I now know that I can overstay my 90 days as long as I send off the AOS application soon (my 90 days are upon the 26th April). My fingers are crossed that this is ok.

On a side note - I was wondering how long it usually takes for the I-130 petition to be approved? We are now into the 5th week and to date we have only had the NOA receieved receipt.
