Same question for a NPA (VOR, RNAV...) ?
This same question was asked in 2010. See

Google "JFK Airport Committee New York Community Aviation Roundtable"
j and see RNAV GPS X Runway 22L Procedure.
There is no reason to offset that RNAV Approach - unless it is for noise. (The straight in ILS has no terrain problem).
If you are cleared for an off set Approach and become visual early then I suggest you ask ATC if you may continue visually - else they will expect you to follow the published track for Noise reasons.
