How to know if I-485J needs to be filled and submitted

[hadook]

Hi All,


We received adjustment of status notice for testing and interview a few days ago with I-140 approved. We submitted both I-140 and I-485 at the same time on November 2017 and also applied for EAD card that we already received. This is employment base petition for my wife and I am her dependent. We did not get any RFE, notice or even in this interview letter anything regarding submitting o having to fill I-485J which is Supplement J, Confirmation of Bona Fide Job Offer. Even online in our account there is no pending status for submitting I-485J or anything regarding that. My question is do we really need to file I-485J regardless or we only need to submit that if we are asked to? Please refer to the notes below from Instructions for Supplement J, Confirmation of Bona Fide that I downloaded from USCIS website. Per this instruction and the fact that we did not receive any request from USCIS , we do not need to submit I-485J. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance.


Who May File Supplement J?
Unless you are filing Form I-485 together with Form I-140 that names you as the principal beneficiary, you must file Supplement J at the time you file your Form I-485 to confirm that the job offered to you in the underlying Form I-140 is
still bona fide and available to you. USCIS may request that you file Supplement J again prior to final processing of your Form I-485. You also must file Supplement J to request job portability to a new, permanent job offer under INA section 204(j). To do
so, you must have a properly filed Form I-485 that:
1. Has been pending with USCIS for 180 days or more since the receipt date; and
2. Is based on an approved or pending Form I-140 that names you as the principal beneficiary

If it is NIW I would suggest to fill a J and to provide if the IO asks you.
Given that you submitted 140+485 togather they did not ask for supp J.

The instructions state that you don't need to submit J if you file I140 and I485 concurrently. They also state that you don't need to submit if you are filing EB2 NIW which is why I didn't send it. I got an RFE. Explained why I couldn't send it (self petition, no job offer necessary for I-140). Got an immediate denial. So, if they ask for it in an RFE, be prepared to send it in.
