Hello,

 

My fiancé is here on a J1 visa that expires on 9/15. We were originally planning to go to K1 route, but given the situation between the US and her country, Russia, we are planning to get a civil marriage and apply for AOS. However, the soonest medical exam I can find for her at the moment is on September 11th. I've read online multiple sources (and she even told me that she was told) that the J1 visa has a 30 day "grace period" after the expiration date when she absolutely has to leave. 

 

I'm curious, if we dip into this grace period with the AOS process, would that be really frowned upon by USCIS?

I thought you are a USC? Not sure why you think it is relevant.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Not sure why you think this is an issue.

 

Good idea to start by reading the Guides.
