Technically, he didn't say they "must be rejected." Odds are USCIS will hold those specific I-821D applications while the appeals process plays out: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21011018/daca-ruling.pdf Page 4

"...until a further order of this Court, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the United States Supreme Court."

Maybe this will help USCIS concentrate on processing more family visas and shortening the outrageous wait times for legal immigrants who have played by the rules and paid their fees. Lines for family visas like F2B have hardly moved at all under Biden, unlike the previous administration where wait times were moving 2 mos at a time. If Biden is really serious about making the immigration process easier, why cant he issue an executive order or two to speed up processing of legal immigrants? All their focus seems to be on helping illegal immigrants only. Why?

So all the DACA applications are now on hold?

 

One of my guys applied about a week after it was ruled eligible again back in December 2020. 

 

He is still waiting for an appointment as of today

If he has never had DACA before then his application would most likely be on hold.

 

But if it's a renewal application then they can still approve it.

Yes, his is new he was too young to apply last time around.

 

Correct they are still approving current DACA's but I heard there is a long wait, I have a few guys who work for me that are DACA and all brothers, and one is going thru renewal and one is first time applicant.
