Why would we need Form I-131?

If you want to have the option to leave the country while waiting for your GC you need this. It's free to file with AOS and not a bad idea even if you don't intend to use it because if an emergency were to arise and you hadn't filed for it you would be stuck.

Why would we need Form I-131?

Each form has instructions telling what goes with it. Here's my AOS list https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FIsgnb7Tfj7tcRNnqRMKUOXQdEfR6HTUDY2vX6zKqqU/edit?hl=en&authkey=CNXN_oQH

Thank you for your advice... It would be nice if there wasn't so much to do :(

There's an AOS thread in my signature with the entire document list that should help you (as well as definitions and explanations).

I-765

1. Copy of non US Citizen K1 Visa and bio page( Passport )

2. 2 Passport Photos

3. copy of I-94

I-94 isn't required for the EAD but is for the I-131.

IF I DONT HAVE TO INCLUDE A NEW AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT IS IT NECESSARY TO SEND A COPY OF HIS SPONSERS TAX INFO ?

As I said before, please see the AOS thread in my signature. It has the document list. You are missing several support documents for the I-765 and I-131.

You are required to send the i-864 (not the I-134) and it's supporting documents. You do NOT have to include your USC's passport page as you already proved his citizenship for the K1.

You also don't need to include the lease document. Save your relationship evidence for if you have an interview. AOS from K1 doesn't always have an interview.
