Extended stay after expired visa

I assume that you and your wife filed for her adjustment of status to permanent residence and you are waiting an interview at the local U.S.C.I.S. field office. Once an I-485 application to adjust status has been filed, your wife is considered in a state of grace in which she is allowed to wait in the U. S. until a decision is made on the adjustment of status application. If she wishes, she is eligible for an employment authorization card if she desires one. There is nothing else to be done at this time other than waiting for the interview and keep gathering proof of the bona fides of your union.
