According to the latest information provided by the Worldway Group Los Angeles Customer Service Center, the U.S. federal government shut down at midnight on Friday due to the Senate's failure to reach an agreement. On Sunday (January 21), Congress continued to meet and planned to vote on a short-term spending bill early Monday morning. Trump stated that the military is the biggest victim of the government shutdown and tweeted a call for the Republican Party to trigger the 'nuclear option' to end the bipartisan deadlock.
Both houses of Congress reconvened on Sunday, and the two parties in the Senate continued negotiations to restore government operations as soon as possible. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had previously proposed a short-term spending agreement, which, if passed, would maintain federal government operations until February 8. The Senate will vote at 1:00 AM on Monday. Once passed, it will return to the House of Representatives for a vote.
House Speaker Paul Ryan indicated on CBS on Sunday that if the Senate passes this short-term spending agreement, the House has already agreed to accept it.
While encouraging the Republican Party in a tweet on Sunday, Trump also called on them to trigger the 'nuclear option' (a simple majority voting rule) to 'vote for a real long-term budget, not a temporary extension.'
The so-called 'nuclear option' involves changing Senate voting rules to use a 51% simple majority rule, bypassing filibusters by the minority party. Historically, the U.S. Senate has used the 'nuclear option' twice to resolve voting deadlocks: once in November 2003, when Senate Democrats used it to eliminate the 60-vote rule for executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments other than the Supreme Court; and once in April 2017, when Senate Republicans used it to eliminate the exception for Supreme Court nominations.
The Senate may now face a third use of the 'nuclear option'!
Worldway immigration experts remind investors that with the U.S. government shutdown, the EB-5 Regional Center Program is temporarily on hold, and USCIS will stop processing applications, but this does not affect investors' ability to continue submitting their filings. After the government reopens, USCIS will resume reviews based on the extension status of the EB-5 Regional Center Program.
Therefore, those interested in immigrating to the United States should seize the opportunity, choose high-quality EB-5 projects and professional immigration firms, and make full preparations for their U.S. immigration. Before the policy changes, you still have the opportunity to apply at the current lower investment amount! Seizing the opportunity means seizing wealth!
