📢PM-602-0192/4 Update.
In Dorcas v USCIS, US District Court John J. McConnell, Jr. has issued a 135-page positive order that apparently lifts the USCIS holds.
However, it is almost certain this order will be appealed as it is contrary to the Trump administration's interpretation of Trump v CASA (on universal injunctions).
During an appeal, however, the order still must be implemented. The only way the government can prevent implementing the order while the appeal is pending is if a court grants a "stay" of the order.
So we predict the government will be filing a motion to stay the implementation of the order in the coming weeks (first with the District Court, and if that's denied, with the Circuit Court).
Stay tuned for more info.
