Biometrics appt affected by Gov't shutdown?

[mojothedestroyer 0]

I have an appointment scheduled on Jan 22nd for biometrics for my green card renewal and it's just now occurred to me that the office might be closed. I've tried searching for info but haven't been able to find anything.

 

Has anyone encountered any issue with a renewal due to the shut down?

USCIS is not affected by the shutdown. It's a fee-for-service organization (i.e your fees pay their salaries, not the government).

The current lapse in annual appropriated funding for the U.S. government does not affect USCIS’s fee-funded activities. Our offices will remain open, and all individuals should attend interviews and appointments as scheduled. USCIS will continue to accept petitions and applications for benefit requests, except as noted below.

 

You can find all this info on the website of USCIS (https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/lapse-federal-funding-does-not-impact-most-uscis-operations)

I had a January 22 appointment scheduled.  But due to international travel this weekend, we did a successful walk-in biometric today.
