US government shutdown: How does it impact the immigration or travel process?
The US government shutdown has begun, creating uncertainty for immigration processes. While USCIS and most Department of State visa/passport services remain operational, the Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification has ceased all functions. This halt prevents the filing of crucial LCAs and PERM applications, significantly delaying H-1B and green card processes until the shutdown concludes.
