01/19/2018: House Passed Continuing Resolution, but Government Shutdown Looming Up "Real"

  • The House passed yesterday its version of short-term federal government funding bill (Continuing Resolution) up to 02/16/2018 without attaching DACA relief bill or Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. The underlying strategy of President Trump and conservative Republicans appears to be attach Trump's restrictive Comprehensive Immigration Reform proposal as reflected in the Sen. Tom Cotton's Raise bill in the Senate and Rep. Bob Goodlatte's SAC Act bill in the House, making DACA relief as part of such comprehensive immigration reform legislation. However, both of these bills are considered a "death sentence" for the Democrats in that family-based immigration and other liberal immigration programs in the immigration law are their base of their political platform. For the reasons, during the last two weeks, Senate bipartisan Senators prepared a compromise bill that accommodated the Republican bill by reducing immigration lottery to a half of current quota, eliminating family-based immigration petition by the permanent residents for their children. This bi-partisan proposal was rejected by the President. Under the circumstances, the strategy of the GOP seems to achieve avoiding government shut-down by removing any immigration issues from the stop-gap funding bill and then during a short period after 02/16/2018 but before sunset of DACA program in March, they intend to add a pressure on the Democrats to accept its Comprehensive Immigration Reform proposal which will also include the relief for DACA.
  • The two parties are currently totally deadlock and the government shut-down becomes more real at the end of today. Democratic leaders in the Senate hate Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Bob Goodlatte who are taken road block against the compromise between the Domocrats and Republicans when it comes to DACA and Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
  • Should there be government shut-down, U.S. Department of Labor will remain closed and during the government shutdown, all the employment-based immigration proceedings of the USCIS will be indirectly disturbed in that labor conditition applications for H-1B, prevailing wage determination, and permanent or temporary foreign labor certifications for all the employment-based immigrant and non immigrant proceedings would be stalled and employers and foreign workers will face crisis. Additionally, there are some other nonimmigrant and immigrant proceedings which are also affected in other ways. Certain EB-4 and EB-5 immigrant visas will be closed when CR expires. Family based immigration and other proceedings will not affected during the government shutdown because those are fee-based proceedings and USCIS offices and visa posts will keep processing the applications. When it comes to non immigrant and immigrant petitions or applications, USCIS will keep processing them during the period, but new employment-based non immigrant proceedings and immigrant proceedings will be handicapped because of the closure of the U.S. Department of Labor that processes prevailing wage determination and labor certification applications. Clock keeps ticking. Please stay tuned to this website for the development of government funding legislation in the Congress before mid-night today.

Yes expect some delays, mostly administrative officials - non essentials will be placed on furlough. 

 

But there will most likely be a deal before midnight for a continuing resolution to keep funding open through feb 16.

The shutdown is not confirmed yet. There is a possibility. 30 day extension budget istaru usyally.

However, 140, Perm vaatiki delays untayi. H1 extension, transfer, etc vaatiki undavu. USCIS operates on its own budget not on federal spending budget
