I have a question, probably a dumb one ,but I'd rather be safe than sorry. On another immigration forum a gal mentioned she was harassed by CBP because she hasn't received her GC yet but had AP, EAD , proof of I-485 filing and local drivers license, and they didn't seem to understand she was lawfully in the US. I have a pending i-485 , I've received my EAD and AP and I have a local driver's license, will I have any issues flying domestically as I have overtayed my visa even though I am lawfully here ? What documents do I need to take with me?

There will be no CBPs in domestic airports. Some TSA agents may act like CBPs but it's rare. A valid DL is all you need for domestic travel but good to carry i485 receipt notice and EAD in case of such encounter.

You should always carry a copy of your I-485 receipt.  You are in authorized stay status until the I-485 is either approved or denied.
