Hello,

I'm getting ready to file for my wife's AOS and I just realized that you need to include supporting documents for I-765 and I-131, oops. I've figured out that for the EAD I should include another copy of form I-94, a copy of her visa and passport, and two passport photographs. (Correct me if I'm wrong!) What about for I-131? I've read the instructions and I'm still confused. Would it be a copy of her passport and visa and 2 photographs? It talks about including an explanation, and I assume I don't need that because we're filing it with her I-485, and then it also talks about receipt if you filed for adjustment of status, but obviously we don't have that yet. So will a copy of her passport and visa and the 2 passport photos be enough? Just don't want to miss anything. Thanks!

You are correct in what to send, and that no explanation is needed. An adjustment applicant never needs to list a reason or supply any extra supplement/attachment pages.

I-131 instructions state you need an official ID. The biometrics page of your passport works for this, and proof of current status is a copy of your K-1 visa and entry stamp from your passport. Also, 2 passport photos. See Pages 8-11 > http://www.uscis.gov.../i-131instr.pdf
