Track your I-485 Supplement J case status
Supplement J to Form I-485 confirms that the job offer behind your employment-based green card is still bona fide — or ports your case to a new employer under AC21. It rides with a pending I-485, and USCIS won't tell you when it moves. TrackPetition watches your Supplement J and emails you the moment its status changes.
What the I-485J is
You file Supplement J to confirm the employment your adjustment of status is based on, or to change employers using I-140 portability. USCIS reviews and approves it as part of the underlying green-card case, so its movement is tied to your I-485.
Processing time & premium processing
Because Supplement J rides with your pending I-485, its processing tracks the underlying green-card case and the service center handling it. Premium processing is not available for Supplement J. Watching it alongside your I-485 gives you the full picture.
Processing times change constantly — for the current figure for your specific form and category, check the official USCIS processing-times tool.
Common USCIS statuses
You'll usually see "Case Was Received", "Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent", and "Case Was Approved". USCIS often re-words equivalent steps; we normalize those so a real approval or evidence request reaches you cleanly.
Why tracking matters
Supplement J confirms the job basis or portability that your green card depends on, and an RFE has a firm deadline. Same-day alerts mean you learn about an approval or evidence request the day USCIS posts it.
