Ryan H Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I just saw this link over at VJ, thought I would share it here: Government Shutdown and Immigration: (How) Will It Affect Me? Link to comment
Scott@Hong Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Interesting article, basically you could still process through USCIS and NVC but will hit roadblock at consulate as interviews and visa's would be put on hold.I think one of the hiccups they mention is background checks at USCIS could disrupt some people in that stage.

Yes, USCIS is paid for by the fees paid by applicants, and petitioners so should not be affected by a shutdown, NVC on the other hand is part of DOS, so may be affected though. Link to comment
chilton747 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 A short (maybe two week shut down) will inconvenience a few people, but most won't even notice. What does your wife think about it? She hasn't noticed, or at least she hasn't said anything. If I bring it up she'll just go on a rant about the government taking all her money and giving it to people who don't deserve it. And, of course once she gets a good mad going, she ends up making me the target just because I'm near. Oh how I can relate! Link to comment
