The guide is regarding the I-485 package alone, so it says to only include the two photos.

The instructions for both the I-765 and the I-131 specific that you must include two photos per. That isn't to say that there haven't been those approved with only two (don't know), but the instructions on each form state to include them, which does make sense, as those two packages will be separated from the I-485 petition once USCIS receives it.

Exactly...also...look at the instruction for 13 and 14; it's for the EAD and AP...underneath says more information for documents AND photos...

Hmm, well it is a good thing I haven't mailed it off yet. I didn't read the instructions for those forms. I just filled them out and used the guide to assemble the package. It looks like I need to make extra copies of some other things for those forms as well (extra copy of passport bio page, copy of I-797, copy of Visa in passport).

So, since these are really 3 separate applications, did you guys put them all together, or separate each application with it's own supporting documents?

I only sent 2 photos and I have my EAD and AP already and no RFE.

I mae them all their own separate package and separated each one with a paper clip and then used one big paper clip to attach them all together.

I included 6 photos.

You put way more than I did and I didn't get an RFE. I think you're good.

Two things that I don't see in your list there is a letter from your employer and a letter from the bank. Our interview officer specifically asked for both.

The I-864 does not ask for either of these documents. It only asks for the W2s and tax transcripts.

I did include the letter from my employer, pay stubs, W2s, and tax statements in my I-134 for the fiance Visa. I can include the letter from my employer (it is back from October when I sent it in for packet 3), and my teacher contract that states my salary and employment status. I also have pay stubs.

I quailfy based on my income, not on assets, so I have never provided a letter from my bank for anything. All that my bank would show is money comes in, and goes out, and that there's not much left over!

LoL, It's your choice, i'm just telling you, I was asked for it, especially the letter from my employer.

If you were asked for it at the interview stage, I can just bring that with me. I have my accordion folder from my interview in Montreal, and all of that stuff is in there.

The bank letter was my mistake, I mixed that up with the visa interview. The letter from the employer was specifically requested. I too have an employment contract that basically gives the same information, but they still wanted the letter from my employer and not a copy of the contract. It was explained to me that contracts can be terminated and for all they knew, this contract could have been terminated months ago. A current letter from your employers HR department shows that you are still currently employed which is more what they are looking for.

That's true enough. I will just ask HR for a letter before the interview, and bring it with me. They'll want a current date anyway.

Who knows, maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to have an interview?
