Supplement J Confirmation Of Bona Fide Offer Or Request For Job {I-485}

I-485 - SUPPLEMENT J, CONFIRMATION OF BONA FIDE JOB OFFER OR REQUEST FOR JOB PORTABILITY UNDER INA SECTION 204(j). You must use Supplement J if you are an employment-based applicant for adjustment of status who is filing or has previously filed Form I-485 as the principal beneficiary of a valid Form I-140 in an employment-based immigrant visa category that requires a job offer, and you now seek, in connection with your Form I-485, to: confirm that the job offered to you in Form I-140 remains a valid job offer that you intend to accept once your Form I-485 is approved; or request job portability under INA section 204(j) to a new, full-time, permanent job offer that you intend to accept once your Form I-485 is approved. Portability means to change the offer of employment from one job or employer to another job or employer. The new job offer must be in the same or a similar occupational classification as the job offered to you in Form I-140 that is the basis of your Form I-485. NOTE: In adjudicating Supplement J, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not make a determination whether you have current work authorization with the prospective employer. The basis for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident under a valid Form I-140 is not actual (current) employment. Rather, the basis is prospective employment. Therefore, the adjudication of Supplement J, for applicants requesting job portability under INA section 204(j), is primarily limited to a determination of whether you have a valid job offer from a U.S. employer that is in the same or a similar occupational classification as the position for which the underlying Form I-140 was filed and approved. NOTE: Individuals seeking or granted a National Interest Waiver of the job offer requirement and individuals seeking or granted classification as an alien of extraordinary ability under INA section 203(b)(1)(A) do not need to file Supplement J. Because these employment-based immigrant visa categories are not tied to a specific job offer, individuals seeking or granted classification as an alien of extraordinary ability or seeking or granted a National Interest Waiver of the job offer requirement do not have to file Supplement J when filing Form I-485 or to request job portability under INA section 204(j). www.FormsWorkflow.com
