My fiance arrived in the US in Feb/2011 and her visa expires in May/2011. We were married the day after she arrived here.Does this mean that we need to file for the AOS before the expiration date on her K-1 visa or is there an intermediate step we can utilize as we gather the required funds to apply for the AOS?

There is no deadline to file for AOS, though it is better to apply as early as possible to avoid out-of-status days (if you file after the 90 days are up). However, any out-of-status days are forgiven when you adjust. If funds are an issue, I would borrow money and adjust ASAP, so your wife can get work permission and start contributing to the household income.

The expiration date on a K1 visa is the date that it must be used to enter the US. From the date of entry, the couple has 90 days to get married (in your case, you got married the day after your fiancee's arrival). For your situation regarding funds for AOS, I agree with Harpa Timsah, borrow and file. When you file for AOS, also file for EAD (employment authorization document). The EAD allows your wife to work while AOS is pending.

Is there a avenue by which we can provide evidence of our marriage if we must file after the 90 day period?

When you send your AOS you have to submit a copy of your marriage certificate

Besides filing AOS, no.
