I-485 questions

I am helping a friend to apply for his GC. He has a derivative asylum status thru his wife. I have a few questions.

1. Should every job be listed under employment during the last 5 years regardless of their length? He has about 10 jobs for 2-3 months (1099) at the same time he has his main job (W-2).

2. On this page http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/RefAdjust/index.htm, it says that the derivative asylees should include "A copy of the letter granting you derivative asylee status either on the basis of having been included on the principal’s original asylum application or on the basis of having been the beneficiary of an I-730 petition filed by the principal." He wasn't included in the original application, so there must be a response to I-730. And, he doesn't have that letter. Will he get an RFE for that?

3. Should he send the Form I-643 with the package? It says "This form is used to provide statistical data to the Department of Health and Human Services regarding refugees or asylees who wish to adjust to immigrant status in the United States".
On this page: http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/LPRApplication.htm, it says:
"If you are an asylee or refugee, you must submit a copy of the letter or Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) that shows the date you were granted asylum or refuge in the United States. You also must submit USCIS Form I-643 (Health and Human Services Statistical Data)."
However, it is not included in the list of forms for asylees on the page above: http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/RefAdjust/index.htm.

Thank you for your time!

1. Yes. You DON'T want to lie by ommission to the CIS

2. Submit a FOIA request to CIS (http://uscis.gov/graphics/aboutus/foia/index.htm) and you will get everything back including the approval notice (funny story, I submitted one for myself and got some pages stamped "Attorney work product: Do not release under FOIA"). But this will cause some delay. I'd recommend taking the time to do it.

3. Submit I-643. Its on the forms page

Floyd,
About G-639 - FOIA/PA form:
1. To get the I-730 Approval Notice for the husband, who should file it? The husband or the wife, who filed I-730?
I think, the wife should.
2. If the Requester is the wife, who's info should be filled out in Part 5 - Data Needed on Subject of Record.
I think, the wife's info should be in Part 5.
3. In Part 5 it asks for the Petition or Claim Receipt #, which they don't have, either. It is marked with an (*), which means if the data is not provided, records may not be located. So, it is possible not to get anything even after filing G-639?
Thanks
