Hey Peter - It seems that almost 2/3 of the USCIS staff will be furloughed starting August 3rd. What is the likely impact on processing times? Also in particular, any insight on adjustment of status applications?

The USCIS furlough has been postponed to August 31.

If that happens, then I think premium processing will be suspended and the processing of any application or petition by USCIS will take forever; I think USCIS effectively will come to a halt.

What will happen to those filing an I-751 if USCIS is basically shut down for a while due to a furlough? Will there be any special considerations for those who may have to file during the time the USCIS is operating at minimal capacity?

I'm sure that filings will be accepted and receipt notices eventually issued; it's just that decisions/approvals will take forever.

Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this?
