Are you a US Citizen? Yes, if she gets denied for an AOS, the time between when she went out of status will possibly count against her. But frankly, she's in trouble anyhow if they turn her down. The fact that she is married to a US resident is going to cause issues with other non-immigrant visa/visits.

Note, that regardless of what her I-20 stays, if she withdraws from the program that she was in, she's out of status IMMEDIATELY. Probably her best bet would be to continue her studies if she thinks that there's some reason the AOS isn't going to be approved.
Thanks for your response. Yes, I am a US citizen. She isn't planning on withdrawing from her program - she's actually planning on graduating. I have been reading that there is a 60-day grace period where students on an F1 visa are allowed to stay in the US for up to 60 days after the program end date on their I-20. Do you know if this is true? Do you think it's possible that we can get her status adjusted in time so that she doesn't have to leave the country?

Thank you.
