USCIS will continue processing certain visa applications, including H-1B, H-2A, and H-2B, despite the ongoing government shutdown. The agency acknowledges potential delays in obtaining necessary documentation due to the shutdown. Crucially, USCIS will consider the shutdown an 'extraordinary circumstance' when evaluating late filings for extensions or status changes, offering leniency to affected petitioners.
