I see it as both good and bad. Good because it buys us time. Bad because, well no one is motivated to solve the problem in the next 12 months and there are a number of potential problems:


https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/d...ary-injunction

1) USCIS has full discretion on HOW and WHEN to process renewals

Q13: My deferred action under DACA has already expired or is expiring soon. Can my DACA request be expedited?
A13: No. There is no expedited processing for deferred action.

Q14: What will happen if my current DACA expires before my renewal is processed? Will I be at risk of removal while this issue is being resolved?
A14: Consistent with longstanding USCIS policy, you will not have deferred action during gaps of time between the end of your current DACA and the agency’s adjudication of your renewal request.

Q15: If my DACA renewal request is approved after expiration of my current DACA, will the renewed deferred action apply retroactively?
A15: No. In accordance with longstanding policy, an approved DACA request will not apply retroactively. An individual’s deferred action under the DACA policy begins the day USCIS approves the renewal request and is generally valid for 2 years from the date of issuance.

2) Requests can be rejected/RFI LAST MINTUE and leave you exposed and without work permit. If injunction is lifted during this time, then you are fucked.

Q16: If my DACA renewal request is rejected with instructions on how to remedy the problem identified and submit a properly filed DACA renewal request, but the court order requiring USCIS to accept renewal requests is vacated before I am able to submit another DACA renewal request, what will happen?
A16: USCIS will continue to accept DACA renewal requests only for as long as the court order remains in effect.
