Applying for AOS, EAD and APD: Can you help me with my documents checklist ?

[strangefella 1]

I am an Indian F-1 student married to a US citizen for the last 8 months. I know I should have applied earlier, 
but it got delayed at I was going through an incredible amount of anxiety due to academic, financial and other
reasons. All of those problems have been settled for good now. I have a job starting in 3 months, and I need an EAD card. 
I know I will have to request them to expedite it later. Applying for AOS, EAD and advanced parole altogether. 
My wife is the sponsor, and I am the beneficiary. Here is the package that I have assembled. 
I have included only the most recent I-20 (out of 5), and only the nonempty pages of passport of me & my wife.
I am putting each form & its own supporting documents in different folders, with the form name written outside, and then 
shoving all the folders in a giant package. I appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

Looks good.

I would add a copy of US CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE of your wife.

If you will be requesting to expedite your EAD, you have so prove to USCIS of financial hardship for both you and your wife.

Thanks for your feedback. My wife is a US citizen by birth, so I am adding a copy of birth certificate. 

 

Yeah, I know. I have put only my wife's finances in I-864, so financial hardship may not be easy to prove. I will be be getting a letter from the job saying that they need me else they lose money or something like that. And I will also include a house leasing letter.  I hoping it works, but I think I have got no other recourse.

It will not hurt to try. Hope you can have your EAD in less than 3 months.

Is wife a sufficient sponsor? If not she might need a co sponsor. Did she file her 2017 taxes?

Yes, she is and she did. We mentioned on tax returns that we are married but filing separately.
