Looks OK.

How about filling in profile with details like home country, and "AOS Pending" you are NOT N/A http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...rCP&CODE=01

Moving this to the AOS sub forum for AOS from Visitor/Student/Work visa since you indicate including an I-130.

Just a thought,

• This might be a matter of preference, but I would prepare separate cover letters for I-131 and I-765 (with explanation it is filed with I-485), as in my understanding I-130 and I-795 will be adjudicated in National Benefits Center (MSC) while I-130 and I-485 will be transfered to CSC or local office; and add overall cover letter explaining you are filing four documents (I-130, I-485, I-131 and I-765).
• you need to send 2 checks (one for I-130 and one for I-485), so should add "Check" in the cover letter for I-485 package
• There was one typo (shown in red above; mother -> father)
• As part of supporting documents of I-864, you may need to include a written explanation by your husband explaining why he did not file tax return for any of the last 3 years (or copy of his tax returns if he actually filed).

Gee, let me correct some typos in my earlier response
