There will be a hearing where they’ll go over some last minute objections, etc.
Mid-end July, the court will either issue or deny the summary judgment.
It a very very likely that they will issue it.
What happens then?
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs are seeking relief in either of two forms: immediately stop granting more DACA (even if it has been submitted) or issue more stuff, but have everyone’s status end on the same day after two years.
The court can choose to rule how it wants (ie: immediately end everyone’s status) or whatever - they could say that no more applications can be accepted or give everyone a three month window to submit one more, etc. it’s probably going to be the first, more restrictive one.
Anyway - since they’re accepting applications regardless of expiration date and you have the money - submit away.

It doesn’t really matter how this court rules. DACA will likely remain in place until SCOTUS takes it up and makes a decision. The only thing a conflicting ruling would do is put pressure on SCOTUS to take this up faster, but even then they can refuse to do so until ALL of the lower courts have made their ruling.
