Am I missing anything?

[miiki]

I?d go ahead and send in forms I-765 (work authorization) and I-131 (travel document) at the same time. There is no additional fee and they can take a long time. Even if you don?t think you?ll need it to work or travel outside the country for the next 1.5-2 years, it?s nice to have the option in case something pops up.

[ecrypto]

Thank you for the response.

The reason I am not apply for an EAD is because I have over a year left. There will be zero chance of me traveling with the travel document so no reason to apply.

If worst comes to worst, I should be able to apply for an EAD renewal later on.

How is the application looking? I have tchecked everything about a million times and I don?t see anything that I could be missing.

The following is a copy of our cover letter. We received no RFE's throughout the entire process. I did later send a copy of my tax transcript directly to NBC (and it was in the folder at the interview) because I didn't have access to it when I first sent the application.

Hi did you also send in your medical with the initial package or did you wait for them to ask for it?

We didn?t send the medical in with the initial application. We got the courtesy letter a few months after. Once we got the interview notice, we had the medical done and brought it with us to the interview. Our interview was over a year later so the medical would have been expired. I am hearing that the medical is now good for 2 years but I?m not well versed in that rule change. I?m happy with the way we did it. No chance to waste money.
