Is it mandatory for an employer to enroll in E-verify program in order to file I-485J. It’s EB3-unskilled category.

The porting form, I-485J, has no requirement that the employer be on E-Verify. The employer must be bona fide and have the wherewithal to take on your employment. Also, the position must be in the same or similar occupation with your sponsoring employer as outlined in the labor certification. Whether you are in the EB-3 unskilled category or any other employment based category, the rules of porting are the same. Kindly note that porting is available where the I-140 has been approved, an I-485 has already been filed, and the I-485 has been pending 180 days.
