SUMMARY OF RESPONSES

Commenters:

Commenter 1 : Elaine Smith, Received April 3, 2017

I-485 Supplement J
#	Category	Comment	Response
1	Page 2, Part 4	Commenter 1 states that page 2, part 4 is duplicate information and therefore should be deleted.	Thank you for your feedback. Part 4 (if applicable) is for preparers of the individual applicant while Part 8 (if applicable) is for preparers of the individual employer or authorized signatory of the business entity employer whose job offer is the basis for the applicant’s request to adjust status. We will re-evaluate the need for both sections in a future revision.
2	Page 3, Part 5, #8	Commenter 1 states that this number field should allow for punctuation for better clarity and accuracy.	Thank you for your feedback. We will incorporate this adjustment to the functionality of the form for this item in a future revision.
3	Page 3, Part 5, #9	Commenter 1 states that this number field should allow for punctuation for better clarity and accuracy. Additionally, the programming automatically adds zeros (i.e. 007, 123, 456, 789). This is unnecessary and only causes confusion. That function should be removed.	Thank you for your feedback. We will incorporate this adjustment to the functionality of the form for this item in a future revision.
4	Page 5, Part 7, #8	Commenter 1 suggests adding a field for the job title of the person with signatory authority. This will better clarify and distinguish the person with signatory authority from the preparer when they are not the same person.	Thank you for your feedback. The job title of the person with signatory authority is already collected under Part 7., Item Number 4 on page 4 of the Form. We will consider your recommendation in a future revision.
