1. In the question no 11 of the form, under the question 'Which
INS office' what should I enter ? Our previous EADs were filed
at the Vermont Service Center. Do I have to write 'Vermont
Service Center' only or the name of the center and its address
too ? Please do not dismiss this as a dumb question.
Ans: Vermont Service Center
2. I have the following list of documents to be attached with I-765
form. Please let me know through your experience if I need
any more documents.
a. Check for $120
b. 2 photographs
c. Copy of current EAD (front and back both ?)
d. Copy of bio page of passport
Ans: Also include the EAD jacket which came with your original EAD. Make sure the photos are ADIT style. Copy of all relevant pages of passport will help.
3. With reference to above are there any additional documents
required for my wife e.g. marraige certificate, etc.
Ans: I don't think you need the marriage certificate. I had renewed for my wife & self and I didn't send it.
4. Do I have to file in separate envelopes for me and my wife ?
Ans: You can submit in same envelope but make sure that you write up separate checks for each application. That is if you're applying for EAD and AP for self and wife, send 4 separate checks.
5. Is there any order in which I should attach the supporting
documents ? i.e. first the photos then the check then the EAD
copy, etc.
Ans: Refer

6. After our Advance Paroles expire, what is the method of
getting new APs ? Is it same as the one which we used for the
current APs ? Also, is a gap allowed between the current
AP and the new AP ?
Ans: AP's are not renewed, i.e., the validatity is not back-to-back like with an EAD. They are issued new each time you apply. Your effective date will be from the time your new AP is approved and not based on the expiry date of your previous AP. Use Form I-131 to file. Refer
http://www.bcis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-131.htm Yes, gaps are allowed.
