Sequestration and the K1

[Maxheadspace 48]

Not to be an alarmist, but if US Government budget sequestration is not resolved, as I understand it there is a chance that Federal Government employees may be furloughed 20% or more between now and the end of September. If that happens, USCIS employees may be reduced to only working four days a week. US Customs and Border Protection sent out furlough notices to its employees already. If USCIS is the same, that could mean a delay in processing by 20% or more due to the furloughs. I'm writing to my Congress persons to fix this and keep USCIS fully employed. I hope I'm wrong about this!

You pay them, everyone is paying them to do their jobs that they do. Their funding comes from our money.

It really doesnt matter with furlough or not. At the pace they are now 1 day will matter... I know they are slow and but hate the fact that we cant do anything about it except to wait..

So, in short, we worry about this problem when we get to the NVC/Embassy stage Right now we have enough to do with trying to get CSC back on track...

Most USCIS employees only work 4 days now. They work 10 hours per day, 4 days per week at the VSC

It should not affect USCIS in any case
