What is needed by USCIS at the time of AOS?

My I-140 is approved a while ago and I-485 has been pending for over two years. I have been working on EAD for the employer who sponsored the GC. When the time comes to approve my I-485, does USCIS asks me for certain documents? Or it simply approves my I-485?

The reason I am asking is, in case USCIS doesn't ask me anything, am I not free to work for other employer (on a contract W-2 basis) and still keep my process going without filing AC-21? I have good relations with the current employer so they are not going to revoke my approved I-140 or anything like that. The problem is if USCIS asks for pay-stubs or W-2s before adjusting the case, then I won't have them from the sponsoring employer.

The issue of wheter one can work on contract jobs (self-employment) doesn't seem to be categorically answered by either USCIS or attorneys. That is why I am afraid of using AC-21 with self-employment. Since my current employer is friendly, I am wondering if I can keep the process going with out filing for AC-21.

Hope I was clear. Thanks in advance....
 
Hard to say whether they will issue an RFE. My case has been pending for a while and recently they issued an RFE for paystubs, employment letter, etc. It's possible they will never ask it from you but it's a gamble.
