So my wife's K-1 Visa expires at the start of next month. What can she do for a valid ID until she get's her green card? Our interview isn't till the end of January, but she wants to fly (in the USA) to meet a friend because she's having a baby. I don't want her to be hassled by the TSA or if she goes through one of those border patrol check points.

Yes. A foreign passport is considered valid ID.

She should also carry a photocopy of her I-485 receipt notice to show that her AoS is pending, in the rare event that someone who actually knows what that is/has the authority to ask for it can see she is a legal alien.

She has to carry her passport anyway.

A passport can be used as a legal form of ID.

She is travelling domestic and should not go thru immigration.

I doubt it that TSA will know anything about her immigration status, but just to be safe make a copy of I-485 receipt for peace of mind...
