Is your foreign birth certificate in english? If not, need to accompany that with translation.

Otherwise looks great!

Hello,

I would like to know if you had sent 3 certified copies of your marriage certificate? or just one for the three forms?

Thanks

You only need to send the one copy with the I-485.

The OP added in a few extras that are not required, such as proof of citizenship for the USC petitioner/sponsor with the I-864, the copies of marriage certificate with the I-765 and I-131, and approval notice from something (I-129F?)with the I-131. None of those are needed.
