Question regarding status/papers in 485 stage

My wife came to the US on an H4 (I was on H1) in June 2001 and applied for 485 in July. She has since received her AP but not her EAD yet(RFE for photos -since then awaiting the EAD approval).

Her H4 expires on Dec 1st 2001.

I received my 485 approval towards the end of September.

Now my question is - what does she need as proof of legal status, Should she always have the 485 receipt notice with her or is having a valid AP enough to state that she is legal in the US.

Please note this is not a question about what she needs to travel out of the country. Just what she needs to stay here while awaiting EAD/485 approval, etc.

Thank you very much for your answers, in advance.

PS : Her details : 485 RD july/2001, AP September 2001. EAD Rfe issued on 5 Sep 2001, Replied on 28th Septerber 2001, awaiting EAD approval.
 
Keep 485

How about keeping a copy of both (485 and AP) while in USA. That should take care of everything. When travelling she will need original 485. Check with your attorney.
