Okay, just so I don't start an unnecessary panic, I called USCIS and asked about what would happen during a government shut down. Our fingerprints are set to expire May 7th, and we have a new fingerprint date of April 19th. I wanted to ask them what would happen if we couldn't go to get our prints taken. But have no fear, this morning USCIS told me that they are a fee based part of the governemnt and would not get shut down. HUGE sigh of relief. Last night I lay awake thinking we might somehow lose our orphan petition if things got shut down and we couldn't get our prints redone. But according to them, we are in the clear. Whew.
