Government Shutdown (merged)

 it may affect obviously if it continues too long but these actually happen every 2 years and usually ends pretty quickly.

 

 So I don't want to panic over it, that's why if you see any other info too let's gather it here.

FACT.

If the building the service is located in is funded by a department that is shutdown then it will have an impact as well.

True, but why don't we leave politics off the forum......too divisive and off topic.

Wait, there is a government shutdown in the US? I'm abroad so i have no idea. Is this going to affect CR1 applications at NVC?

Yes there's a government shutdown or yes it will affect CR1? or both?

[Hypnos 6,576]

A shutdown would affect the processing of visas. 

 

The deadline is midnight tonight. Right now I'd say there's a 50-50 chance of it happening. For some reason the US seems to think these kinds of brinksmanship deals are a good idea.

we are hoping by midnight some kind of deal will be reached.  there is a proposal to extend the shutdown until February.  DACA is huge on the list. ugh....I hope not.  we have our interview on Monday.

Google.  

 

The US government is having issues agreeing on a budget.  When that happens they stop things like consular services until they can agree.

Will that have an effect on people who applied for the k-1? I applied in Oct. I am waiting for my NO2.

I wouldn't worry about it. They're barely processing July cases right now. You're months away from getting ajudicated so this will likely be resolved before they even touch August and September cases.
