What forms can/must I submit for an adjustment of status?
I am a US citizen, my wife entered the US with a K-1 and we just got married. Now we are planning to submit the I-485 for adjustment of status. Along this form, I see that we can submit other forms I-765 and I-131. Must I submit all 3 forms or can I just submit the I-485 for adjustment of status? We had talk about working or traveling out side of the U.S. and since she is pregnant we agree she will not be doing neither one. No work or traveling for her for the moment.

You don't have to file those forms but their fee is already included so you might as well file them too. in other words, they do not cost anything extra. She may not be traveling internationally, but she may want to work or even just apply for a social security number so that it will be easier for you to add her to various accounts and the EAD will make it possible for her to do that.
