USCIS open 因为收费
DOL close 因为免费，涉及LCA,然后是H1B申请。
Impact on USCIS and Other Immigration Applications /
Petitions
CBP: Open for Business
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will remain
operational, as
they deal with national security and protect life and
property. Thus, it
will still be possible to travel into the United States as a
foreign
national.
USCIS Benefits Continue 看这儿
The USCIS is expected to continue to adjudicate benefits
applications and
petitions. This is possible because these operations are
funded by the
filing fees that are submitted with the various applications
and petitions.
Thus, this portion of the immigration process, commonly
utilized by
MurthyBulletin and MurthyDotCom readers, will continue.
U.S. Department of Labor: Not Operating H1啊
Unlike the USCIS, the Department of Labor (DOL) does not
charge user fees
for its services. It is thus expected that the DOL will
cease processing
PERM labor certifications, prevailing wage determinations,
and other
immigration-related benefits. We have received confirmation
that DOL
investigations, including those related to I-9 and labor
condition
application (LCA) violations would cease during any
shutdown.
U.S. Department of State: No Visa Applications
While the diplomatic and security aspects of the Department
of State (DOS)
operations would continue, visa applications would likely
not be processed
in the event of a shutdown. It is anticipated that the
consulates will not
be open for visa appointments and processing. Thus,
depending upon the
duration of such an event, individuals could be stranded
abroad with no way
of obtaining required travel documents. The same is true for
the processing
of U.S. passports.
ICE: Limited Services
In the event of a government shutdown, it is expected that
Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) will not be allowed to conduct I-9
audits.
Additionally, without funding, they would not be able to
initiate removal
proceedings. The security-related functions and care of
those who are
detained would continue.
Impact of a Possible Shutdown
For most MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers, the
greatest impact of the
shutdown would likely be caused by a lack of DOL services.
If LCAs cannot
be filed, then there could be problems for those facing
deadlines for H1B
filings. LC cases could also face difficulties in the event
of a government
shutdown, as there are important timing considerations and
expirations
relating to the prevailing wage determination (PWD) and
advertisements.
While concerted efforts are underway to avoid any shutdown,
it is best to
take any steps possible to avoid deadline issues in case the
funding dispute
cannot be resolved before March 4, 2011. | m*******n
