Processing with shutdowns?

[Mr Trav 15]

Hello all. I was a tad confused...are all the gears in the visa processing/USCIS still operating with this shutdown and another looming?

I know there may be multiple agencies involved. I filed 5 months ago, IR-1, got a NOA1 and nothing since.

The immigration process is funded by fees and should proceed normally.  

 

Your case is being processed normally within the usual waiting time.

Funded by fees so no shutdown there. Besides, shutdown is over for next three weeks.

On december 28 2018 if not mistaken....USCIS officially announced that most activities that have to do with immigration are not affected by the shutdown. Yesterday January 25 2019 the government has been opened again, at least for the next 3 weeks.

Fill in your timeline and it will give you an estimated approval date. You are still well within normal processing time.

File in a timeline and tell which center is processing your request.  Some are faster than others but you are still going to be processing for at least another month or two.

 

You can compare similar timelines here and also you can look at the processing times on the USCIS site.
