If the whole package is sent together, why would there be a need for a G1145 for all 3 forms?

Wouldn't one be sufficient?

Because the EAD/AP go to another location to be adjudicated than the I-485.

I noticed that u had the same things for each one.. U have to make 3 copies huh? And I thought I-797 had to be original, we can make copies ?

Yep, apparently the three packets are sent off to different places for processing so copies of evidence are required for each one. And yes the I-797 can be a copy, I think somewhere in the instructions it says all supporting evidence can be copies unless originals are specifically requested.

Note that the marriage certificates are original copies from the county office, not home made copies.

I thought I read here in the forum that a photocopy of the marriage certificate IS acceptable. I thought it didn't have to be the original marriage certificate.

Yeah some people used copies with no problems, and some said they had problems using copies. I thought I'd just get official copies to be sure...

All of that gets sent to Chicago lockbox?

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Couldn't the I-131 and the I-765 be filed online once you file the I-485 and I-864?

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
