The ongoing U.S. immigration shutdown is creating major challenges for employers, HR teams, and legal departments—especially those relying on foreign talent. With key government functions suspended or delayed, hiring, onboarding, and compliance processes are at risk. Major Impacts: 👉 Labor Certifications Frozen: DOL has halted LCAs, PERM filings, and wage determinations. 👉 E-Verify Offline: Complete Form I-9s within three days and document good-faith compliance. 👉 USCIS Delays: Most applications are processed, but expect slowdowns. 👉 Consular Services & Border Processing: Still open, but may scale back or slow down. 👉 Worksite Enforcement Up: ICE is increasing audits and enforcement. 👉 Immigration Courts: Detained cases proceed, but non-detained cases may be postponed. 👉 Legal Exposure High: Shutdown delays don’t excuse noncompliance.
