The following Monday, Texas asked the Supreme Court for a 30-day extension to respond to the appeal (a request that has subsequently been filed by 25 other states), but the court granted the states only an eight-day delay. As a result, the justices will determine whether or not to take the case in January — keeping the case on track to be resolved by June, [Politico reports.](http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/immigration-supreme-court-obama-executive-order-216332) ** [Read More](https://info.envoyglobal.com/blog-old-test/immigration-blog/court-of-appeals-upholds-daca-dapa-injunction/) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.envoyglobal.com/blog-old-test/immigration-blog/court-of-appeals-upholds-daca-dapa-injunction/#comments-listing) Topics: [Immigration Blog](https://info.envoyglobal.com/blog-old-test/topic/immigration-blog), [Immigration News](https://info.envoyglobal.com/blog-old-test/topic/immigration-news) ## [While immigrants wait on USCIS for digital forms, VISANOW has a solution](https://info.envoyglobal.com/blog-old-test/immigration-blog/while-immigrants-wait-on-uscis-for-digital-forms/) Posted by [kelly.caldwell](https://info.envoyglobal.com/blog-old-test/author/kellycaldwell) on Nov 10, 2015 8:29:34 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) decade-long effort to digitize its nearly 100 immigration forms has seen little progress, racking up about $1 billion in project costs and operating on a tenuous timeline for completion, reported The Washington Post in today’s edition. Right now, the only digital immigration form available through USCIS is an application to renew or replace a green card.
