    With current government shutdown, does it mean all I-485 processes are on hold until they resolve the issue and re-open government functions impacted by the shutdown?

    From the govt website, so no, not affected.

    "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."

      Looked up the link referenced by UserNY:

        Taxpayers don't fund USCIS, we do. That's why the fee is so high, we're paying for the employees salary that are processing the applications. A freeze on federal funds only freezes taxpayer funded operations.
