Court Order on Hold Policies

On June 5, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island issued an order in Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island, et al. v. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, et al., 26-cv-00132-JJM-PAS (D.RI.), vacating PM 602-0192, PM 602-0194, and PA 2025-26.

What this means

  • A court decision binds according to the court that issued it, and can be stayed, narrowed, or reversed on appeal. Check the docket before relying on it. (classification: court_decision)

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Who is affected

The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.

Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

  • A USCIS announcement describes the agency's own action. Legal effect, and the detail of how it applies, usually arrives separately in the Federal Register or the USCIS Policy Manual.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Sep 4, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
