It is clear now that eligible candidates for deferred action need to send completed and signed forms I-821D, I-765 and I-765WS together to the USCIS along with the supporting documents and the $465 fees.
Applicants need to make sure that they are using the current edition of Form I-765. Prior editions will not be accepted by the USCIS. Do not risk your application being rejected just because you used the wrong edition of I-765.
As important as a fully completed and signed application is, the supporting documents that prove your eligibility for consideration of deferred action are also important. They go a long way in establishing your eligibility, in fact I would say, more so than the application itself. So make sure you collect as many of the supporting documents as possible before you complete and send off your application.
Below are the supporting documents that will help make your case. You can submit photocopies of all the documents. USCIS will ask for the original document if they require it. Once your application has been processed, your original documents will be returned to you. (Note: It is best that you voluntarily make sure you remember to collect any original document you submit to the USCIS.)
All the form instructions contain the list of supporting documents that are needed. You can submit as many documents as you can to establish your application's validity.

Remember, it is enough to send only photo copies of the documents. Its not necessary to send all the documents mentioned here, but as many as possible.
