Yes, I mean we're filing past the 90 days that an ESTA lasts. There is a question on the i-485: "What is your current immigration status (if it has changed since your arrival)?" 

It would be WT if the ESTA wasn't expired, but I am guess that I need to put "Out-of-status" since we are way past the 90 days. Am I correct?

Thank you!!! So helpful!

The only other question on there I'm not 100% sure about is the: "Are you applying for adjustment based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245(i)?

I think I check "No"...

Will do. I wish calculating the fees were easier. My math gives me $1225 for the 485 packet and $535 for the 130 packet. 

Yes.

Yes (I assume the I-485 applicant is younger than 79). USCIS also accepts payment by credit cards and debit cards: https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-expands-credit-card-payment-option-fees

I got excited when I saw the credit card form (I don't want my AOS to be sent back due to bad check amounts) but you still have to put the authorized dollar amount on there.
