We are about to file the 485, AP and EAD.
I contacted my lawyer to see what the list is of papers that we need, so we can still beat the low fee deadline. Our PD of Feb 04 was current as of June 1. Can someone please direct me to the list of papers, number of pictures for each form(485/EAD/AP etc. I am still waiting to hear from my lawyer. but want to start to put the big envelope together to drop of at his office. I already have the medicals and the birth certificate copies.
thanks for your help.

Hope it helps.
 
Here is a quick list:

I-485 Application form
I-765 EAD Application form
I-131 Advanced Parole Application form
G-28 Attorney representation form
G-325A Biographic Information Sheet
I-693 Medican Examination form ( Need this to be in a sealed envolope from a USCIS certified Civil Surgeon)
Birth Certificate
Copy of Entire Passport
6 Passport size Photographs (2 for 485, 2 for EAD and 2 for AP)
I-94 Both sides
3 years of W2s and Tax Returns
Copy of I-797 approval for I-140
Copy of Approved Labor Certificate
Copy of Approved I-140
Copy of Degree Certificate (Masters and BS)
Copies of most recent paystubs (If filing with the same employer, who did your LC and 140)
Copy of I-797 for current and previous H1Bs

You dont need G-28 if you chose to file by yourself.
Some attorneys dont require LC, Degree Certificates, PayStubs.
If you are filing by yourself, you might need to provide Financial statements of your company upon on RFE, if needed. Attorneys usually include this in the packet they send.
 
I am prepareing to file 485 by myself. Since there are three application(485, 765 and 131), do I need to make three set of copies for each application? Actually, the request documents are a bit different between each application.
If filing by myself, can I use personal check?

Thanks.
