The only thing I see off the bat is that you only have 2 photos, whereas you need 2 each for I765 and I131 also.

Shiv,

No real need for I131, AP. You wife is on K3, still more than 17 months on that multiple entry visa.

As to whether you need the AP or not, I don't know anything about a K-3, so I won't advise you there.

As for the others stuff... It looks good, except that each form has its own set of supporting documents. For example, for the AOS you need a photocopy of the I-94 front and back. This is also required for the EAD form and AP. So you'll need 3 copies, same for the passport pages, same for the photos (2 for each form). Also I think the marriage certificate is needed for AOS and EAD, but not AP, so you'll need 2 copies. I'm just doing this from memory, so I may be off on what's needed for which form.

Bottom line is that even though you send them together, you should treat them as 3 separate applications. Split them up and include the supporting documentation that each one asks for, even though it means that you will include multiples copies of the same documents. Try to organize it in a way that they can split them up and see if you have all the supporting docs for each.

Good luck.

No need for AP.

Send 2 more photos for I-765 and

Daniel also included copies of past 6 months pay stubs (don't know if its a requirement though)

Yep, if you're K-3, no need to do the I-131 (AP).

Also, don't forget to do the translation for the birth certificate if needed and to include a certification by translator letter.

Here's my checklist for I-864...

- letter from work

- copies of 3 checks from last 3 months of work

- taxes for the last 3 years with all W-2s, 1099s, etc.

(I qualify based on my income from work alone and therefore did not include other assets)

Here's my checklist for the I-765 (from the guides)

- copy of I-94

- 2 passport style photos

- copy of NOA2 (do we need to include this when filing for c9?)

- copy of passport and visa (do we need to include this when filing for c9?)

Just out of curiousity, why did you include a copy of the US citizen's passport?
