Lets keep their safety in mind. I'm sure it was a hard decision. Workers not getting paid for days missed, work load increase etc.

The best part is.. it does not affect your case. And if a case was assigned then they would not be in contact with you in the next week... what you can do if you wanted to speak with someone update your case is to use the email option if you have a question but by then they'll be opened tomorrow prior to a getting a reply. If you wanna update your DS-3032.. email it.. still no delays there.

best of luck

Oh, I'd definitely rather they close to keep people safe than to open and put people's lives at risk. I completely understand their reason!

I was wondering also but my husband called earlier and he said there's no more weather thingy in the AVR. I hope that means they're open. :)

Got a text from my husband while I was still sleeping that the AoS bill appeared this morning and that he paid for it!

As soon as I saw his message, I went to the payment portal site on my iPod (which is next to my phone on my bed), signed in and saw I could finally fill out the DS-261 (online form of the DS-3032). I immediately got up, turned my computer on, and filled out the form and submitted it.

Now just to wait for the AoS bill to appear as PAID, then we can email off the I-864 package!

Yay for progress! :)

:( called NVC was told i have an RFE. They want original birth certificate and marriage certificate. I had provided the certified copies but they dont accept that :( ...thiss suxxx :(

That's ridiculous. They explicitly say here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html that they accept original or certified copies! Did you try talking to an operator about it?
