Hi guys,

I am a DV 2011 winner and currently F-1 visa holder.
I want to apply EAD together with my i-485 application.
Does anybody know what documents I need to prepare for the EAD?
Thanks a lot ^^

You need the following documents:

1. I-131 EAD Application document
2. Copy of I-485 receipt notice
3. Recently taken 2 colored passport photos.
4. Cashiers cheque as stated in the form.
 
Hi keepkeep,

If you are filing EAD based on your DV AOS (485), then you need to submit it together with the 485 or you can send it at a later date while 485 is pending. Here is the info from USCIS if you haven't already looked at it:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Follow the instructions on page 6 of the instructions on filing 765. You will need 2 color photos, copies of previous EADs (if you had any). You will be filinf under (c) 9 for AOS for DV winners. Again, you can file this at the same time you file your 485, hence read the instructions carefully.

Did you mean I-765 (EAD application) instead of I-131 (Travel Document)?
There is no filing fee if 485 is pending:

"Special Instructions :
If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 30, 2007, or after, and you paid the I-485 application fee required, then no fee is required to file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765. You may file the I-765 concurrently with your I-485, or you may submit the I-765 at a later date. If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485."​

You need the following documents:

1. I-131 EAD Application document
4. Cashiers cheque as stated in the form.
