DHS memo about DACA - Page 3

Now thousands of people will apply for renewals, which will create a huge backlog and they are already behind (processing applications from April as we speak). It will take many months for some people to receive their renewals.

Right there with you

Um? My friend applied early July, he already got his card in the mail about 3 weeks ago. I applied about 2 weeks later and I should be getting my card soon, I’m sure Hurricane Harvey delayed it.

Idk what April applications you’re talking about.

That's the processing times announced by USCIS.

Also there are members here who applied for renewals in March/April and still waiting on their renewal.

Same. Cherry on top of a great week.

Frequently asked questions.

Very informative.

Wow, this is simply breath-taking:

Although the original DACA policy was not challenged in the lawsuit, both the district and appellate court decisions relied on factual findings about the implementation of the 2012 DACA memorandum. The Fifth Circuit agreed with the lower court that DACA decisions were not truly discretionary,[4] and that DAPA and expanded DACA would be substantially similar in execution. Both the district court and the Fifth Circuit concluded that implementation of the program did not comply with the Administrative Procedure Act because the Department did not implement it through notice-and-comment rulemaking.

They simply accepted the factual assumption of the 5th district courts that since A) DAPA did not go though APA procedures, B) DACA being similar to DAPA, therefore C) DACA as well as DAPA do not comply with APA procedures.

And no:
The Supreme Court affirmed the Fifth Circuit’s ruling by equally divided vote (4-4).[5] The evenly divided ruling resulted in the Fifth Circuit order being affirmed.

It neither affirmed or repudiated. It simply split, causing the lower courts ruling to be upheld.

But none of this matter anymore I suppose.

lol, wonder if any of the 8 mentioned here are in this forum?

so I guess this means they will actually get processed after all? Maybe I should have applied after all

Yep, they have to use false arguments because they don't have legitimate reasons for ending the program.
