Hi Guys,

I e-filed I-765 (EAD renewal) based on pending I 485. Took appointment and did biometrics for EAD renewal.

Then I mailed to TSC following:
1. Cover letter
2.e-filed I765 internet recipt (Not I765 form)
3. I 485 recipt notice
4. I140 approval notice
5. J1 visa wavier approval notice.
6. Current EAD photocopy (front and back)
7. current EAD mailer cut out.

I did NOT send following: (Because the I-765 instruction says that send a proof that I-485 is filed/pending.)

copy of I-94
Passport copy
Driver licence copy

Please suggest if I need to send I-94 copy and passport copy or not? I am worried.

thanks in advance

Passport copy
Driver licence copy
------------------ USCIS many time send the RFE copy of I-94(front and back) Color copy of Passport pages that show your name, DOB, Photo and enlarged or color copy of DL

Please suggest if I need to send I-94 copy and passport copy or not? I am worried.

thanks in advance

-------- you should have posted in thread before sending the documents becase if you send now with EAD filing reciept copy they may attach to your file or it may not be attached with EAd papers/file
 
Hi Ginnu,

I have also sent copy of my EAD card (both sides) and EAD mailer cutout. I forgot to mentin that in my post before.

1. The e-filing recipt says DO NOT mail photos or COPIES OF IDENTIFICATION until asked by USCIS.

2. The I-765 filing instructions on form at USCIS says following:

EAD Applicants Who Have Filed ForAdjustment of Status. Adjustment Applicant--(c)(9). File your EAD applicationwith a copy of the receipt notice or other evidence that yourForm I-485, Application for Permanent Residence, is pending.

It does not say at all I-94, or DL or passport copy.

Any way should I again mail the copy of my passport and I-94 front and back to avoid RFE.

Please suggest, worried.

Since the EAD is dependent merely on the pending I-485, you should not need to do so. I never filed a passport copy or I-94 with any of my EAD applications.
 
The RealCanadian,

Thanks for your response. I was also thinking that only I-485 recipt notice should be sufficient for EAD renewal. However folks have sent many supporting documents and that's why was worried. But now is happy after getting response from you.

thanks
