i-765 question

[AtariBaby 17]

Background: Married my Canadian wife while she was visiting me here in the US and she stayed. Now seeking AOS.

It was a little unclear to me from the "guide" here in vj, but I need to put in an i-765 with my other forms in order for my AOS spouse to be able to work ASAP right?

Do I basically create a separate file for this one, complete with it's own photocopies of her passport, passport photos, and its own check for the fees, if that makes sense? The instructions for i-765 seem to want all these things.

You don't pay for any fees. AOS includes the EAD and AP forms. One fee for everything.

You do however create a single package for each part - AOS - EAD - AP. They are then put together in the same envelope with the I-130 and all mailed together at the same time.

I-130 is one package you pay for this and collect everything

I-485 is the other package which includes EAD and AP - one fee for all of it separate payment from the I-130.

1 set of documents for the 485

1 set for the EAD (if she wants to work before green card)

1 set for the AP ( if she wants to travel before green card.)

Everything is put in one package with separate sections ( organized so its not jumbled all together )
