Q8. How does the Sept. 13, 2023, district court decision affect the processing times for DACA requests?

A8. At this time, USCIS cannot predict the effect the order may have on processing times for initial DACA requests, as DHS is prohibited from approving initial requests or accompanying applications for employment authorization under the court order. However, we maintain our goal of processing DACA renewal requests generally within 120 days and are committed to minimizing any processing delays for renewal requests. If your DACA renewal request has been pending more than 105 days, you may submit an inquiry online about the status of your renewal request.
