Folks,
My I-140 based on EB1-OR just got approved. I would like to learn about what evidence is needed for I-485 application. If someone send me a list of evidence they submitted for their I-485, that would be really appreciated.
Below is my credentials:
PhD in Engineering
permanent research position in a university for about a year (only 3 months when applied)
post-doc before that for about 1.5 years.
about 30 conference and journal publications (1st author in most of them)
recently published book
senior member in IEEE
reviewer for about six journals

You should do your homework and read the I-485 application instructions at
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3faf2c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Everything is explained in detail there. You'll need stuff like a copy of your birth certificate, passport, medical examination form etc. Regarding your job, the only things needed will be an approved I-140 petition and a letter from your employer conforming that the job for which I-140 was approved is still available to you.
 
Thanks Baikal3,
I appreciate your response. How should the letter from employed worded? Would it be enough to just say that the I am still holding the position that the job my I-140 was based on. Do they need to make any implications about the future of the job etc.
Thanks

I am not quite sure about this. At a minimum the letter should say that the job is still available. Of course, if possible, it is better if the letter indicates something about the job being available in the future or at least about the job not being a temporary one, e.g. "this is a continuous appointment" or something like that. In my own case I had a tenure-track university faculty position at the time of filing I-485, which is by definition permanent, but that was rather an exceptional situation.
