Your K-1 expired the very day you were "admitted" to the US, meaning when they let you in. At that time you received an I-94 in your passport, and that's the form that gives you lawful presence until it expires. Once you have submitted your AOS application and the USCIS acknowledges this by mailing you a receipt (the NOA1), you have again entered a period of authorized stay.

While it makes sense to submit the AOS package rather earlier than later, there is no problem in submitting it a bit after your I-94 expires. The main requirement of your K-1 was that you got married to your petitioning US citizen spouse within 90 days. If you did that, you can take a deep breath. AOS is now only a formality that will take about 3 to 4 months.

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.
