The federal government will enter a partial government shutdown at midnight Oct. 1 if Congress cannot agree on an appropriations bill or short-term spending measure. While many immigration services are funded by filing fees and may not be directly affected, some would come to a halt, including immigration functions at the Department of Labor.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: A government shutdown would have a significant effect on a number of immigration services, particularly those at the Department of Labor. While it remains possible that Congress could pass an appropriations bill or stopgap spending measure before Sept. 30, employers may wish to work with BAL to submit time-sensitive DOL filings before that date. BAL will continue following events in Washington, D.C., and will provide updates as information becomes available.
