Answer by Nebraska Officer:

The answer to the other question I get a lot for, should I apply before 8/8 I wouldn't advise anything, I'm not a lawyer. If you send it in now, it will get worked when we get to it (as of 7/20/2018 we were working cases from 6/19/201. If you wait and send it in later, it will get worked when we get to it. If there's some sort of injunction, we have no idea what that will do this time (the August 8 one). It could completely get rid of DACA in which case it doesn't matter when you submit it cause it won't ever be worked. If you send it in now there's a small chance (very small) we would still work cases (when the 10/5/2017 injunction originally happened, we had 6 months, 3/5/2018, to finish all cashes we had on hand). If it's a decision to get rid of DACA, then it's probably going to stop all DACA that day (8/8/201

In that case, most likely all cases we have that haven't been worked will be rejected, in which case you get a refund so it doesn't hurt to submit now. -- Historically USCIS doesn't keep money for cases we don't work. We refund it.

But there's also a 50/50 chance they could just deny all pending cases and keep your fee as well, in which case you are out $495 and DACA and if you waited to submit you would still be out of DACA and $495 richer.

So, I have no clue what to recommend, because we don't have any idea what will happen on 8/8/2018. If $495 is a lot to you, then wait. If it is not, then submit now.

For a stay to be granted, five Supreme Court justices must be in favor of granting it. If a stay is not granted, the order(s) already issued by the U.S. courts of appeals and/or district courts will remain in effect.


Isn't Kennedy retiring this week? So if it ends up 4-4, the district courts ruling would be held?
