AOS time frame

I understand that once my fiance arrives, we have 3 months/90 days to marry.. I totally got that part....but does AOS have to be sent in, in within that 90 days as well soon after we get married?

No. The only timeframe you have to meet after entry into the US is marrying within 90 days. Once you do that, you've fulfilled the requirements of the visa. File for AOS when you're able to.

that sounds great, but what would be my fiance's status in the US at that poit if we don't file immediately after our wedding?

It should be stressed that you should file as soon as possible, however. Once your 90 days expires, the alien is overstaying their visa and accumulating says of illegal presence. These days are irrelevant/forgiven once the AOS is approved, but the alien risks detention (slim but real) and the alien will not be able to participate fully in normal life, like working or traveling internationally. Once the AOS packet is sent out and the check cashed, the alien begins a NEW period of authorized presence.

This makes more sense, because the last thing I want is complications with immigration!!!

Well yes, of course you should file as soon as you can, but just know there's no specific time limit.
