485J
I have a question about 485j. I filed one on Dec 3,2024 for a job starting in March 2025. I haven’t received a receipt yet. So it is for a forward looking job offer letter. However, I will be starting with another employer, in January 2025. Do I need to send another 485j? Please advise.

assuming 180 days has passed for AC21, you don’t need to wait for confirmation of 485j prior to starting jobs nor pre-emptively submit 485j for every job change. when USCIS has issued RFE or called for interview, that time is ideal to go with latest 485j. preemptively submitting is ok but comes with a added factor of poking the USCIS bear (case file confusion, scrutiny involved in every job code/similarity, unpredictable officer etc)

@DesiGirl2010 Chackunny Well USCIS will issue an RFE for 485J. Then you can submit updated 485J then. I submitted when USCIS issued an RFE.

@Me BHE sounds good. wish I didnt submit that one proactively…

@DesiGirl2010 Chackunny Even if you submitted one, as inter-file, sometimes USCIS doesn’t update the case. so when they issue RFE, you’ll attach the original RFE requesting page + 485J.

@DesiGirl2010 Chackunny it’s good you submitted one. You’ll not have to worry much when responding to RFE.
