i131 What document to provide to show my current status for I131

[Oreobaby 0]

Background: I am currently on OPT, EAD will be expired on 5/1/2017. I will be filling I-131 together with I-130/I485 for marriage based green card. The word "Or" on I131 instruction is tricky, here's the original instruction: 
"If you are in the United States, you must attach: 
(1) A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status, if any, in the United States; and 
(2) An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an Advance Parole 
Document; or 
(3) If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the 
adjustment application; or 
option(4)(5), [ (4) and (5) not apply to me] 

Questions: A. If I am applying for AOS, should I still need to provide documents for option (1) and (2), if so, what documents do I have to provide, maybe my current EAD card and my most recent I20? Also, for Option (2), do I have to explain a reason? 

Questions B: I am filling I/485/I130 concurrently, so I won't have a USCIS receipt to prove my AOS, then what should I provide to show the AOS status? 

The work "Or" throw me off, does the "or" means I can either provide option (1) and (2) or I can simply provide (3)

I was on J-1 status, which is similar. Here's a list of the docs I provided - in your case, I'd add the I-20 endorsed for OPT and your current EAD card showing you're still in status. I also added the docs for the I-765 application. I got approved no problem so I guess I did something right -

I qualify for Advance Parole because I am awaiting my Adjustment of Status interview. I would like to travel to my native country (name country) to visit my family members. I would also like to take a short trip to (other country) to advance my research. The duration of this entire trip would be four weeks or less.
