Form I-485 Supplement J: Confirming the Job Offer in Employment Green Card Cases

Form I-485 Supplement J helps USCIS confirm that a qualifying employment-based adjustment applicant still has a valid job offer, or that a new job qualifies under portability rules. It is often requested when an I-485 has been pending for a long time or when the applicant changes employers.

The form should match the immigrant petition, the offered occupation, the employer's information, and the worker's current role. If the applicant is using job portability, the evidence should explain why the new position is in the same or a similar occupational classification and how the duties, skills, wage, and career path compare.

Supplement J problems often come from vague job descriptions, unexplained employer changes, outdated petition information, or wage differences that are not addressed. The goal is to make the continuing job offer easy to verify.

New Horizons Legal helps employment-based applicants and employers prepare Supplement J filings that support adjustment approval instead of creating a new RFE cycle.
