It is not a bad idea. I-131 is no problem. The I-765, well it is more of an "insurance plan". If there's a delay with the Green Card, you are authorized to work. If the AOS interview is successful, you should receive the green card about 1 month later based on stats here at VJ.

We opted not to file for I-765 and save the $180. My wife will not be working any time soon, so she can wait for the Green card. We filed the I-131 with AOS because she wants to visit the family in Brazil and make our wedding plans there ASAP

Mark, my husband and I filed all three. It is ultimately up to you. If your wife isn't going to be working anytime soon, you might hold off on the I-765. If she's not going to be traveling anytime soon, you could also hold off on the I-131.

Did you read the guides yet?
