When a new federal court decision comes out in an immigration-related case, the first step is to read the actual opinion — not summaries — before drawing any conclusions about how it applies to your situation. The scope of a ruling can be very narrow (affecting only one type of visa or one circuit) or very broad. Until the Duralev v. United States opinion is publicly available, no one can reliably say whether it changes anything for your case. Consult an immigration attorney once the full text is out.
