Immigration shutdown

[Jade13 7]

My husband and I are ready to file my AOS so I called my local office this morning to enquire on something , and was told that I can mail my packet in but don't expect anything to be done about it as they are in deep trouble financially and are about to be without half the workforce, confirmed bin the article below,  so I'm now very worried about sending my packet in if it's just gonna sit there because they are understaffed?? Anyone else concerned ???

 

Thanks Trump 😠

That is certainly no reason to delay submitting your package.........especially if you are going to be out of status......just get it done.

I'm already out of status as I overstayed my Visa , (my fault I know ) I'll be mailing it all in tomorrow anyway , I'm just hoping it doesn't get lost

You are in danger of deportation until you get the receipt for your I-485..you will then be granted authorized stay until the decision is made on your adjustment of status......this is not Trump's fault.  Congress must provide funding....

Trump has been trying stop immigration since he got into office , he appoint Stephen Miller known for anti immigration stance. The Republicans will not provide funding , they won't even bail out the post office . I can accept my part , but it's also they play apart in their anti immigration policy

Yes, the House holds the purse strings and were too busy with "other matters" to deal with it.  Since USCIS is somewhat self funding through fees collected, and with fees down about 50 percent due to the shutdown, they don't have much of a choice, unless employees just volunteer to work for free to do everyone's paperwork, and that's not going to happen.

Relax, the world is not coming to an end. You are not in trouble

 

Just complete the application as soon as possible and send the application to USCIS. Dont delay any more

Last time I checked, the Democrats have the majority in the House of Representatives........

I don't know if it will help, but keep a copy of the mailing, that it was indeed mailed to the gov, and receipt that it was at least delivered.  If you get in trouble that you are out of status, at least you have something to show you are trying.  I think if you are not stopped for anything, or questioned, you will get by until they send you your receipt.

Thank you for the advice

I agree..........this thread always comes to mind regarding what "could" happen...

Yes, he has, but if you sent in your AOS before you were out of status you wouldn't be in this predicament. I am actually really surprised that USCIS told you something that seems so off script. Get it mailed in and wait. Immigration has never been speedy.
