LOCAL INS office to get you a work permit and on tract to adjustment of your visa

As long as they don't leave the country before AOS is granted, then they should be
fine. Overstay is forgiven when marrying a USC. However, an overstay of over 180 days
means you will be denied reentry if you leave the US before AOS is granted.

Read the contents of the URL... your "out of status" is not relevant.

You place the cart before the horse. Wait till you meet the INS. In the meantime
behave like you are a married couple. If you think you do not appear to be the norm (
whatever you think it is ) for a married couple, get the younger among you adapt a
lifestyle that ages you very fast: Stop shaving (valid for both, especially great for
the woman), eschew haircut and shampoo, daily lack of sleep, a diet of potato chips,
nachos, cheese and beer, lots of time in front of television on a soft sofa etc....
By the time INS gets to see the two of you, the younger one would start to look older
among the two. You'd be asked to provide new ADIT photos, but what the hell !
