The problem could be with Embassy's not issuing immigrant visas, but i guess by the time we reach to that stage , the shut down might be over.

If the govt is shut that long, I think we would have more serious problem than our spouses joining us.

deltagal said her NOA1 is from Lees Summit. She said she didn't get her hard copy NOA2 yet to confirm where it was adjudicated...

Jmack confirmed that NOA2 was from Lee's Summit (NOA1=4/1). Delta didn't give me any indication that the case was transferred anywhere else. I suppose there is a chance that the case could've been transferred to KS without Delta knowing. Is that common for NBC(MO) to transfer cases to another location? I thought that was more the exception than the rule?
