You may also wish to consider sending in the I-131 application, because it's quick and free! Even if you do not plan on using the AP, it is still better to have it and not need it than for an emergency to happen and you don't have it.

For filing AP, all you need is:

1. Form I-131
2. Copy of T's passport bio page
3. Copy of T's K-1 visa
4. 2 T's passport-style photos

Some people have been receiving RFEs for proof of legal name with the I-765 and I-131, so it is not a bad idea to include a copy of the marriage certificate with those 2 forms, even though the instructions do not specifically ask for it. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/563940-concurrent-filing-of-i-485-i-131-and-i-765-attachments/#entry7796074

You do want to put the A-number on all applicable forms. It only helps.

For I-765 (EAD), make sure:

1. Put [c][9] on question #16

Also, if you fill out the I-131 (AP), make sure of the following:

1. Part 3: Put UNKNOWN in Date of Intended Departure and Expected Length of Trip (in days)

2. Part 7: Check More than one trip box

I played it safe and sent 6 passport style photos, but I did it for cheap. I uploaded my wife's passport photo that we used for the K-1 to an online site and copied it 6 times onto a 4x6 format that I had developed at WALMART in 1 hour for $.09. The photos came out great and I didn't have to pay the $7.96 WALMART charges or $12.99 that WALGREEN'S charges for two 2x2 passport photos. All I had to do was cut them out!

Thank you all

Keep in mind the requirement that PP photos must be less than 6 months old. Likely have been longer than 6 months from the K1 days. But up to you; just thought I point that out.

I'm sure we'll be just fine with the PP photos we used. The last PP photos she took was for her medical exam which was in March and I submitted our AOS well before the 6 month mark. Thanks for your concern, but I'm pretty meticulous when it comes to filing this paperwork. I check 5 or 6 times, before I submit anything and it has worked for me thus far.
