What Is the Purpose of Supplement J?
…
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 bona fide 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. …

Who May File Supplement J?
Unless you are filing Form I-485 at the same time with a Form I-140 or while a Form I-140 is still pending that names you as the principal beneficiary, you must file Supplement J at the time you file your Form I-485 to confirm that the job offered to you in the underlying Form I-140 is still bona fide and available to you. Additionally, you must file Supplement J to request job portability if you are eligible. USCIS may request that you file Supplement J again prior to final processing of your Form I-485.

However, please know that USCIS must first adjudicate and approve the Form I-140 prior to approving your portability request, if otherwise eligible.

NOTE: You do not have to submit Supplement J at the time you file Form I-485 together with Form I-140. In adjudicating Form I-140, USCIS examines whether the job offer is bona fide. If Form I-140 is approved, USCIS may consider the approved Form I-140 and supporting documents, along with your filed Form I-485, as prima facie evidence that the job offer is bona fide and that you, the applicant, intend to accept the job offer if your Form I-485 is approved. However, depending on factors, such as the length of time it takes to adjudicate the underlying Form I-140 and your filed Form I-485, USCIS may request that you submit Supplement J to confirm that the job offer in the underlying Form I-140 is bona fide and still available to you prior to final processing of your Form I-485, or that you have ported to a new, permanent job offer under INA section 204(j). …
