I'm going to get some more information this weekend and include it, but in the meantime, I suggest that you look here to see what the timelines were for people who have done it. It will depend on which office you go through. Here are a couple of timelines from people there.

This is from a US citizen and Brazilian spouse who overstayed a B-1 visa:

2004
September 8 - Applied for AOS in Boston, MA. (I-130, G-325A, I-485, I-864, I-765)
September 18 - Received forms I-797C (AKA NOA) for I-130, I-485, I-765. Notice date is Sep. 15
November 3 - Fingerprints/Biometrics
November 8 - Fingerprints received, processing to continue. E-mail notification
November 12 - EAD approved. E-mail notification.
November 16 - EAD card received in mail.
November 23 - Applied for and received a Social Security Number
November 23 - Massachusetts learner's permit/license received

2005
February 19 - Appointment letter received. AOS interview is May 31, 2005.
May 31 - AOS interview completed in 15 minutes. Went very smoothly. But approval is pending completion of background check.
June 2 - Notified that our application to adjust status is approved
June 9 - We received the Green Card in the mail.
Just so you know, EAD is a work authorization that you can file if you're adjusting status to have until your GC is approved. As you can see, it took them a month to get the EAD, and less than a year for the Green Card.

This is from a US citizen and British spouse who overstayed a tourist visa:
