I-485J Administrative Closure — Has Anyone Experienced This?
I received an update stating On August 25, 2026, we administratively closed your Form I-485J. Has anyone else received a similar update recently? Did you later receive a physical notice explaining the reason for the administrative closure? I’d also appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar and what happened afterward.

Has anyone experienced a similar I-485J administrative closure? I noticed two “Action Taken on Your Case” updates in my USCIS online account on august 21 and august 25. When I logged into my USCIS account, I saw that my I-485J was administratively closed. Today is September 2, and I still haven’t received any physical notice explaining the reason for the closure. Has anyone experienced something similar recently? If you received a notice afterward, could you please share what the notice said and the reason USCIS gave for the administrative closure? Also, what updates did you receive after the I-485J was administratively closed? Did your I-485 case continue moving forward, or was there any other action taken? I would really appreciate it if anyone who has experienced this could share their timeline and what happened afterward. Thank you! 🙏
