目前美国政府年度拨款的失效并不影响USCIS的费用资助活动。我们的办公室将继续开放，所有人员都应按计划参加面试和约会。除下文所述外，移民局将继续接受申请和申请福利申请。

但是，一些USCIS计划将在收到拨款或被国会重新授权之前，到期或暂停运营，否则会受到其他影响。这些包括：

· EB-5移民投资者区域中心计划（不是EB-5计划）。区域中心是美国的公共或私人经济单位，促进经济增长。USCIS指定参与移民投资者计划的区域中心。EB-5计划将继续运作。

· 电子验证。这种基于互联网的免费系统允许企业确定其员工在美国工作的资格

· 针对J-1医生的Conrad 30豁免计划。该计划允许J-1医生在完成J-1交换访问者计划后申请豁免两年居住要求。到期时间仅影响J-1医生必须进入美国的日期; 它不是完全关闭康拉德30计划。

· 非部长宗教工作者。这种特殊的移民类别允许宗教职业和职业的非部长移民或适应美国的居民身份，以全职，有偿的身份从事宗教工作。

Lapse in Federal Funding Does Not Impact Most USCIS Operations

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.

Some USCIS programs, however, will either expire or suspend operations, or be otherwise affected, until they receive appropriated funds or are reauthorized by Congress. These include:

· EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program (not the EB-5 Program). Regional centers are a public or private economic unit in the U.S. that promotes economic growth. USCIS designates regional centers for participation in the Immigrant Investor Program. The EB-5 Program will continue to operate.

· E-Verify. This free internet-based system allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the U.S.

· Conrad 30 Waiver Program for J-1 medical doctors. This program allows J-1 doctors to apply for a waiver of the two-year residence requirement after completing the J-1 exchange visitor program. The expiration only affects the date by which the J-1 doctor must have entered the U.S.; it is not a shutdown of the Conrad 30 program entirely.

· Non-minister religious workers. This special immigrant category allows non-ministers in religious vocations and occupations to immigrate or adjust to permanent resident status in the U.S. to perform religious work in a full-time, compensated position.
