Hello all. I got married last year and I've been gathering information and filling out papers for I-485 and I-130. As of now, I am part of DACA(deferred action for childhood arrivals) and I had some questions about that, too.
First of all my wife and I have filled out the following applications: I-130, G-325a(for both of us), I-485, I-864, and I-693(waiting for the results from the hospital).
Here's a question. Being part of DACA, I've already received the EAD card and able to work, but do I have to apply for I-765 again and get a new EAD card? If so or not, how many passport photos do I need to send in total? I have 2 for my wife but I don't know how many I need. I know the applications are being submitted concurrently, I don't know if I have to send one for each application. For example, if I submit a G-325a for I-130, do I need to make another copy for I-485? Same goes for passport copies and all others.
Also, can someone check my cover letter and see if anything is missing?
