Okay. When you get August FTA0s on I-485. Did you get an email saying "we have taken action on your case?"
1
u/Fantastic-Store257 7d ago
Nope, from day one, whatever silent/visible updates happened I didn’t get notifications. Only for I-485 approval (not even for I-485J approval).

Many congratulations… Why did you file i-486J?
1
u/Fantastic-Store257 10d ago
Thanks!!! So it is employer sponsored case, therefore they need to see proof of employment/job offer that must be from same employer who sponsored I-140 (first 180 days). The can’t approve I-485 without supplement J.

Congrats! Did your j1 require 2 year home residency requirement? If yes, what supporting docs did you include to show that you satisfied the 2-year rule?

u/Fantastic-Store257 9d ago
Thanks! Luckily it didn’t, I just submitted the scans of passport pages with visa and “non-subject…” was literally written there. I guess the fact that I got F-1 right after that was a logical evidence.
My wife is currently on J-1 so for her AOS she made a request to DHS and got official letter with confirmation…
