Came as student never went out of status until I got TPS NOW applying for AOS on marriage based and just want to make sure I am filling right forms. Form I-485, form I-130, form I-131. Since I already have work permit through TPS do I still need to file form I-765 and I already have job do I still have to file form I-864?

a) only benefit of filing I-765 is its free and if approved it works as combo card for both EAD and AP b) I could be wrong but I think l-864 is required for all AOS application except Employment-based

If you did not pay the appropriate Form I-485 filing fee because your filing fee was waived or you are exempt from paying it, you must pay the Form I-765 filing fee or request that the filing fee be waived; and”
