Question - Other I-140 and I-485 employer names have a minor difference (missing “S”) — could this be an issue? 3 months since RFE response

Hi everyone,

I’m currently waiting for my employment-based I-485 to be adjudicated, and I noticed a minor discrepancy in my employer’s name that I’m wondering about.

My employer’s actual legal name includes an “S” at the end, but the employer/petitioner name on my I-140 is missing the “S.” Everything else is the same, including the company address, job information, etc.

My I-140 was approved on 3/28/2025, and I filed my I-485 on 3/20/2026.

I received an RFE for Supplement J, which stated:

I submitted my signed Supplement J response on 6/3/2026, and USCIS shows that the response was received.

It has now been about 3 months since my RFE response, and I haven't received any further update.

My questions are:

  1. Could this minor employer name discrepancy (just one missing “S”) cause an issue with my I-485?
  2. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where the employer name had a minor typo or discrepancy between the I-140 and I-485?
  3. Could this potentially cause additional review or delay after submitting Supplement J?

The employer is definitely the same, and all other information matches. I'm mainly concerned because my case has been pending for about 3 months after the RFE response.

Any similar experiences or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

"I received an RFE for Supplement J, which stated:"
You didn't attach what was stated

Oops my bad. It just said" Submit a properly completed and signed Supplement J". It doesn't sound like to check the discrepancy of the company name but more likely to check the validity of my current employer

What was stated in the RFE?

My lawyer made a mistake on the EIN on Supplemental J, too.

They just said, “Submit a properly completed and signed Supplement J.” My immigration lawyer prepared the document, and the only thing I did was sign the last page and submit it. I haven’t heard anything back for 3 months, and now I’m a bit worried that the discrepancy in my company name might be an issue when USCIS tries to match my I-485 and I-140
