Well first off your price is wrong its 1070 for the AOS papers.(always good to read the instructions on the USCIS website for the current fees)

You should have a check for the I-130 and for the AOS if you are applying from tourist or visitor status.

You must file all forms TOGETHER at the same time in the same envelope.

Before doing anything you may want to study USCIS.GOV at least for fees.

I-485 is now $1070

I-130 is now $420

Yes file everything together, however treat each form as if being sent by self, DO NOT SHARE things among the forms.

Cover letter simply lists package contents.

What are you adjusting from??

VWP if out of status is very hazardous and even if doing AOS before status is up can result is a hard denial. When entering the USA on VWP you agree to not immigrate or the right to an appeal if and when denied. USCIS seems to be taking a hard line on AOS from VWP, have been seeing a few posts about denials.

Hi!

Just from a quick look over your lists, the marriage pictures should go with I-130 as proof of bona fide marriage, you need pays stubs for the last 6 months, and please make sure you include all the papers for the sponsor and that you fill in the correct I-864. As everybody has advised so far, read carefully the instructions for each form on www.uscis.gov and here on the forum, under Guides.

Good luck!
