It's not 90 days to stay, it's 90 days to get married. If you file your AOS prior to the 90 day time limit, you will stay in status even though your K1 has expired.

you are only really *in status* for as long as the I94 is valid. after that you are pending adjustment. simply filing within the 1st 90 days does not keep your status in the way you describe. (others will tell you its fine to ALSO file outside of the 90 days, just as soon as you can)

Take a look at the AOS guide here on VJ and read the instructions for the I-485, that should help you to better understand the AOS process. Good luck

What record you need to keep to prove that you file within 90 day time limit? Is it the date you put on your I-485? or the time stamp on your receipt of registered mail? or the date of acknowledgement from INS?

If i got married within 90 day time limit, however I didn't file for AOS until after 90 days, due to time constraints collecting all necessary papers, am i going to be "out of status"?

Thanks

As soon as your file you AOS, you are no longer out of status. However, during the time between the expiration of your visa, and the time they received your paperwork, you were considered out of status.

And I believe the date is the date USCIS first gets their hands on it, the receipt date on your NOA1.

Very true, I should have been more careful...you aren't in status...but you aren't out of status. You are in status limbo, which is an okay (legal) place to be as far as the USCIS is concerned.

Overstay is forgiven through marriage to a USC anyway, so even if you are worried about filing outside the 90 days, you'll be fine.
