Even with the current Government shutdown, USCIS continues to operate. It is funded by all the application fees. And, the Dept. of Labor is also currently funded, so employment-based applications will continue as usual (for the parts that involve the DOL). Therefore, the business of helping immigrants will continue as usual at Velt Immigration Law Firm, PLLC. Happy New Year!
