Her visa was canceled the day she entered the United States. The stamp on her I-94 provided her lawful presence for 90 days.

She is granted a "period of authorized stay" by the Attorney General while her AOS petition is pending. Keep a copy of the I-485 receipt notice with her passport. This is proof of that period of authorized stay. It also provides the case number that an immigration official can use to verify her status.

From the VJ FAQ section:

6.11.7)..OK, so my K-1 wife will file I485 for AOS.....Question is, what will her immigration status be from the date she files the AOS paperwork until the interview where she receives (conditional)green card?

A..She is official under a "period of stay authorized by the Attorney General". (FAQ Note: This is due to being an Adjustment Applicant who is awaiting a decision regarding an adjustment of status application)

As JimVaPhuong stated, have your wife carry a photocopy (xerox)of the I-797c that shows her I-485 was received.
