EAD and Documents Required

[millers_90 0]

Hello, 

I am in the middle of preparing our AOS package. We are filing form I-765 concurrently with the I-485. To my understanding, they do not require either our marriage certificate or the birth certificate of my wife (K-1 beneficiary) according to https://www.uscis.gov/i-765Checklist . Would this be correct? The reason I am asking is we are seeing examples from others who submitted those documents as supporting evidence specifically for EAD. Thank you.

Correct.  Copy of your I-94, bio page of your passport and visa.
