Instead of credit card payment, use check. Chances of CC rejection is more..

Photos of USC spouse are not needed for I-485.
If you have multiple I-20s (old, expired ones) under the current F1, send their copies too.
In general, IRS tax transcripts are considered to be better documents than tax return and W-2s but what you have is good too.
I agree with what was said above: use personal checks instead of credit cards, if you are able to.

Why does the petitioner need a translated copy of birth certificate? If the petitioner is a US citizen through naturalization then he/she doesn't need to put the birth certificate. The naturalization certificate is proof of citizenship. Natural born US citizens put their birth certificates as proof of citizenship.
