How does the immigration service during the Shatdaun
The continued closure of the government does not affect the activities of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). About this agency reported on its website.
The agency writes that all offices continue to work in a regular mode, so all those who were scheduled for an interview should arrive in accordance with the schedule. USCIS will continue to accept petitions and applications for benefits, except as noted below.
However, some USCIS programs either cease operations or suspend operations until they receive funding or are re-approved by Congress.
- EB-5 Regional Immigrant Investor Center Program. Regional centers are a public or private economic unit in the United States that promotes economic growth. USCIS appoints regional centers to participate in the immigrant investor program. EB-5 will continue to work.
- Electronic verification. This free internet system allows businesses to determine the right of their employees to work in the United States.
- Conrad 30 Waiver program for J-1 doctors. This program allows doctors with a J-1 visa to file a waiver request for two-year residency after completion of the program. The expiration only affects the date by which the doctor with the J-1 visa was supposed to enter the United States; this is not the end of the Conrad 30 program.
- Religious personalities are not ministers. This special category of immigrants allows non-clergymen to immigrate or adjust to the status of permanent resident in the United States in order to carry out religious work for a full day and in a paid position.
Because of Trump and Congress’s disagreement over the financing of the border wall 28 days already partially closed in the USABecause the executive and legislative branches cannot agree on a budget.
A possible source of funds necessary to finance the construction of the wall in the case of an emergency situation introduced by Trump could be the US military budget.
This year's “Shatdown” has become the longest in the history of the country and has touched around 800 000 federal workers, many of whom will not receive a salary.
Trump said he would not sign the law on financing closed agencies and would not open the government until a decision was made to finance the border wall between the United States and Mexico. Nancy Pelosi, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, said the president "will not get a wall."
