There is no rule that says you can stay 6 months out-of-status/illegally.
Any time in the illegal stay if an INS officer finds that you are out-of-status/staying illegally, he will initiate deportation proceedings.
Yes. I know about it and much agreed. It also doesn't mean that if you are planning to file another 485 in near future (less than 180 days time), you can stay illegally or out-of-status.
