The newest statistics on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals show that as of May 31, 2013, the USCIS received more than 520,000 applications for DACA. So far, about 365,000 were approved and 3,816 were denied. That still leaves about 155,000 unadjudicated applications.
The USCIS is taking much longer now to process DACA cases - some pending over 6 months. Additionally, some DACA applicants are being scheduled for interviews.

June 17, 2013: Update on Immigration Bill S.744
Immigration bill S.744 was first introduced in April 2013. The bill would be a major overhaul of the immigration system. It would amend many aspects of the immigration process - providing legal status for estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S., enhancing border security, changing family and employment-based visa categories, creating new non-immigrant work visas, etc.
What is the current status?
On June 11th, the Senate officially voted to take up the bill for floor debate. Senate's plan is to try to have a vote on the new immigration law by July 4th.
The House of Representatives has seen some progress on the immigration reform as well as it takes up pieces of immigration reform. However, the expectations are that the bill will take longer time in the House.
Again, stay tuned for updates.
