What happens next if the Department of Homeland and Security shuts down? Texas is already wayyyyyyy behind on K1 visas. How that will impact everything?

Uscis stayed open during the last government shutdown because it is self funded by the fees paid. Except for some small parts. Some things were affected last time because certain processes relied on external government services which were shutdown.

Mind you it is hard to tell what really could happen.
