Hi,

I'm currently in F status expiring in December (which I can easily extend)

However, I am ready to file my i-485 and i-130 package and seen information that I don't need to renew my visa once my i-485 was received.

I don't want to overstay my visa illegally so I'm looking for exact details and confirmation on this, with hopefully a link to this on USCIS.

Thanks!

I don't have a link, but once you file you enter a period of authorized stay while you wait for the application to be processed.

But, that authorized stay is limited, as you won't have any "proof" of it, until you at least get your EAD. What I mean by that is, you won't have anything proving your ability to work/drive/etc. It's usually only a couple months until you get the EAD though.
