Follow the guides, but you're also best to ask these questions in the AOS forum where everyone has recently done this process and can give relevant advice.

The first part of that guide is incorrect. You do not have to file AOS within 90 days, you only have to get married within 90 days of entry. The K-1 visa does not expire after those 90 days. It is a one time entry visa. The K-1 visa becomes null and void as soon as it used to enter the US. The I-94 you receive upon entry is what becomes important and your status is based off of it from that point on. You must marry before the I-94 expires in 90 days from your date of entry or leave the US. AOS should be done as soon as possible, but does not have to be done before the I-94 expires.

Your post has been moved to the AOS forum, so Hello! you are there now. Here is a link though: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/7-adjustment-of-status-green-card-from-family-based-visas/

Follow the guide here on VJ for AOS: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

Vanessa&Tony also put together an excellent guide that lists what documents are needed for each form you will be sending. You can find that here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/235331-aos-ead-ap-from-k1-the-aussie-way-doc-list-included/

Just keep in mind, you cannot edit a post past 5 minutes time, so she was not able to change the fee on that first post. It is talked about in later posts of that thread, but it would be nice to be able to edit important posts like that so old info can be updated and not confuse people. Anyway, the fee is $1070. Everything else listed there is spot on.
