If they catch you over staying you can be banned for I think 5 years. Do not overstay.

Without knowing the full status about OPs story, I still wanted to mention the ifs, the possiblities just incase it does happen. There might be things that can cause the AOS to be denied that OP isn't disclosing. I understand wanting to speed things up, but I always want to know the full picture and the worst case scenarios in my case

I personally wouldn't do it.  If your AOS gets denied, you're back to square 1. You'll have to return, I don't know how many issues it can create for future visa's etc, but there's a chance it might. And if it takes long, it might cause the wait for the K3 visa to skyrocket. For all you know it can go to 2-3 years.. It's all 'if' 'if'. But me personally, fellow Dutchie hello, I applied in January, and I'm likely getting my next step in June/July, which will probably result me in moving end of the year. 

Oh a 100%. I even discussed it with my parents and said that I thankfully have probably atleast 6 months until NOA, and if it comes sooner, you always have 6 months before you HAVE to be in the US. So I can thankfully save, and I'm glad I found out now because it makes me be a little more careful with my spending to save those extra dollars. Very glad wer're still at the beginning stage of everything

Yeah we already established the 'living on his income' thing due to the fact the EAD can take a long time, it's doable thankfully! It's definitely a discussion I'm going to have with him in person when I see him this weekend, because it's good to know where we are at! Thank you for the advice!

We'd live around Dallas, so transportation would likely not be a big issue, but it's good to consider! 500ish bucks is probably a decent investment incase anything happens before the I-485 is done. Finding this platform is defintely helping me raise some questions I didn't think of, and knowledge like needing EAD for a drivers license!
