Sorry for the delay. No you definetly don't have to first be married. If you look through some of the AOS paperwork they even ask you to fill in your ssn if you have one.

If you're going to a local office maybe call first. Believe it or not the practices are not the same across offices even though they should be.

Are you sure about that? They don't even ask you your martial status. There is a checklist on their website and in the office...the I94 and passport work fine.

If the CEAC site say Administrative Processing "Immigrant" it could be a few days or a few weeks, there is no way to tell. If the status says "Non-immigrant" it should be any day now.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, it shows Non-immigrant and Issued. I was curious about how long it takes from being issued to being available to pick up.
