Congratulations! I also have a pending EB-4 Religious Worker I-485 and recently received an RFE requesting an updated job offer. If you don’t mind sharing, what exactly did USCIS request regarding your job offer, and what documents did you submit in response? Were you still working for the same petitioner that filed your I-360? Thank you.

@Rigo Vásquez Jr Thank you! To answer your questions, USCIS basically asked to confirm if the original job offer from my I-360 sponsor was still valid, and if my salary and job duties were still the same.
Yes, I am still working for the same petitioner. In my response, I submitted an official letter from my Senior Pastor confirming that I am currently doing the work and will continue to work under the exact same terms offered in the I-360 once my green card is approved.
As additional evidence, I also included copies of my paychecks from the last 6 months and a copy of my EAD card.
Hope this helps, and wishing you the best of luck with your RFE!
