Banned Countries UPDATE
Hi Everyone, I wanted to provide an update that I think helps out people in this particular situation. If you have DACA and applied from a banned or high risk country listed on the Presidential Proclamation, UCSIS was pausing processing for all applications from applicants with nationality from these countries.
For a while, many were unsure if DACA was affected or not. However, DACA was very much included. This was confirmed to me after an inquiry from my senator's office. I've obviously edited out sensitive info for privacy. Please see below:
However, as of 6/12, after a judge's order, this ban has been ordered VACATED by a recent ruling. USCIS has posted about it on it's website as well.

Hopefully this means that these applications can be approved now moving forward. I have currently been waiting over 220 days. DACA expired in March.
Hope this helps.
