Hi,

I am married to an US citizen.

I am here on an I-Visa for media.

We are in the middle of gathering all the documents for the AOS - but in August my current Visa runs out.

Is that a problem? We should file for the new one asap, right?

It would be good if you can file for AOS before the other via runs out, as you are otherwise overstaying.

Overstay is forgiven when married to a US citizen, so it won't affect your eventual AOS as such, but if you get stopped by police or something they may cause problems.

Remember that you legally can't work once your current visa runs out. Apply for the EAD/AP card with your AOS paperwork (free). It should take 60-90 days to receive, then you can legally work again.
