Hi, I am on a similar boat. May I know the reason for RFE for I-485J? what did they give in the RFE when asked to resubmit?
black blazerMar 9, 2026
@AS V - The RFE notice only said submit 485J. we submitted it with the initial filing, looks like it was missed out. I also think for all EB1C applications, they generally ask to resubmit the J supplement so as ti get a confirmation on continuous employment with the petitioner.
Did you receive a similar RFE?
AS VMar 9, 2026
@black blazer - no I didn't get an RFE, I submitted 485J initially. it was scanned and uploaded under I-485 my documents tab but no separate case was there. suddenly one day got mail action has been taken and when I checked portal, new 485J was created. and status changed from "case being processed" to "actively being reviewed" and no update since.

@AS V - are you able to track all the cases via the api ?
black blazerMar 9, 2026
@AS V - my 485J was never added to the portal.
AS VMar 13, 2026
