You are not technically out of status, you ARE out of status and subject to deportation and a 3 year bar (and soon a 10 year bar). Once your wife is a citizen she can petition for these bars to be waived, but you MUST NOT LEAVE THE US UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR GREEN CARD IN HAND.
 
if you haven't left the US, there are NO bars applicable to you. SInce he had D/S in his I-94, he may not be subject to bars even if he leaves the US, but I wouldn't do that.

Sit tight, file I-485+ supporting docs+a copy of notice of approval for I-130 after your wife becomes a USC, and wait for your GC interview.
