My wife and I were unsure where we would be living when we filed the I-130 form in late January from the USA. As it turns out I got a job in the US Military and we will be stationed here in the US, but my wife is still on a Tourist Visa which expires early March.
Is there anyway I can file our I-485 packet with a copy of the I-797C form immediately and amend our case at USCIS to allow my wife to stay here legally as an AOS candidate?
 
Yes, you can file her I-485 now. Assuming you are a US citizen, you can file the I-485 together with the I-130 application, or with a copy of the I-130 receipt notice, or with a copy of the I-130 approval. Your situation looks like the second option.

Remind her to file AR-11 to register her change of address. That is in addition to notifying USCIS of the change of address for the I-130/I-485 processing.
