I think you're supposed to attach a copy of her passport to the I-765. It's in the instructions - Required Documentation 2(b). I know you have it attached to the I-485, but I put it in both places, just in case.

There is actually no reason not to send some pictures now and take more later.

The app says you can include anything else that substantiates and helps prove the bonfire marriage.

It is not required - doesn't mean you can't send it.

That's correct - it asks for the copy of the passport as ID.

I think you need only one cop of G-1145 on top of your overall package.

And you need copy of your passport, and I-20 (if apply) for the form I-795.

3/23/2012 (Day 0) - I-130, I-485 and I-765 sent
4/02/2012 (Day 11) - Hard Copy of NOA1 in the mail of I-130, I-485 and I-765
4/04/2012 (Day 13) - Received a letter for biometrics appointment for 4/20/2012.
4/20/2012 (Day 29) - Biometrics done
5/03/2012 (Day 42) - Status online changed to interview, scheduled for June 11
5/16/2012 (Day 55) - EAD Card Production, online status update
5/24/2012 (Day 63) - EAD Card in the mail
6/11/2012 (Day 83) - Interview, approved on the spot

05/19/2014 (Day 0) - Mailed I-751

05/27/2014 (Day 8) - Received NOA1

The three years tax returns are excessive and not required unless the petitioner is self-employed.

You only need the previous year.

Though like the pictures, it is optional, I believe it will likely just become scrap paper that is never looked at. ;)

And the one 1145 is sufficient - I attached three and one of them had my email vs. my wife's, but only my wife ever got notification.
