Have you read any of the information contained in this thread?

Yes, "until funds run out". Is that a matter of days, weeks, months?
Thanks

NVC should be fine...  As for the Embassy?  your guess as good as anybody's.  Some Embassies have more fee income than others...  no hard and fast answer, no way to predict

Yeah, I saw that too. I also researched on US embassies and how they will be affected but everything out there is very vague. This is their official word:

Operations During a Lapse in Appropriations

 

Emergency AlertJanuary 20, 2018Operations During a Lapse in Appropriations

At this time, scheduled passport and visa services in the United States and at our posts overseas will continue during the lapse in appropriations as the situation permits.  This website will not be regularly updated until full operations resume, with the exception of emergency safety and security information.

 

So it mean that that the process on pending petitions will not delay?

That’s for US embassies. Petitions are processed at USCIS. I don’t know how this will affect USCIS.

USCIS will continue with little impact...  They are capable of slowing down all by themselves without any additional external inputs

Will the government shutdown affect the green card issuing process? Will the green cards take longer to arrive?

As an FYI,

TSA, ATC and other FAA etc, are all working without pay.  So if you are flying, be nice, they aren't being paid to work at this time. 

Being nice is always a good idea. And it's not like you have any other options with the TSA anyways....

The shutdown ended.

Not yet it hasn't. Congress has passed a three week funding extension, but our beloved president has yet to sign it.

 

He's probably in the middle of some Fox and Friends recaps.
