I’m applying for a work visa in New York, hoping my approval would come before the shutdown. The government shutdown caused major delays at the immigration office, affecting both my status and work plans. Every day is filled with anxiety—I don’t know if I can start the new job on time, and can’t plan childcare or family finances. Calls go unanswered, emails receive no response, and all sense of security is gone. #GovernmentShutdown #PublicServices #ImmigrationPolicyNow
