Supplement J to Form I-485

Effective January 17, 2017, Form I-485 or Adjustment of Status requires new form “Supplement J” to confirm bona fide job offer or request Job Portability under INA section 204 (j). This form will be used to confirm the job offer in Form I-140, Immigration Petition for Alien worker and is the basis for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and remains available. It can also be used to request job portability in a same or similar occupational classification under INA 204 (j) where the adjustment application is pending for more than 180 days. USCIS has to still release the final version of the Supplement J with more accurate instructions regarding the timing of its filing and whether the filing is mandatory. We will keep our readers updated as we get more information.
