After examining Harry’s immigration documents for four months, Judge Nichols is said to have filed his decision at a Washington DC court.
Sources told The Sun that the order was procedural rather than a judgement.

Prince Harry’s immigration fillings could have "major implications" on his future in the US, investigators have previously said.
Conservative research institute, the Heritage Foundation have been investigating the Duke’s immigration documents to determine if he disclosed his previous illegal drug use or received a special waiver.
When applying for his residency permit, Harry would have been required to fill out a form asking if he has ever used illegal drugs.
The Duke of Sussex leaving the Rolls BuildingPAMelissa Chavin, who works for the Chapman Immigration Law Office, previously told GB News that Harry is likely to hold an A1 visa - which is given to ambassadors, heads of states and members of the Royal Family.
She said: "I think that the visa Prince Harry is on is something that none of us see, and for me it is very uncommon and rare."
When asked about the kind of security checks the Duke would have undergone, Chavin replied: "I think there's a focus on only three areas: terrorism, contrary to foreign policy, and espionage. Just on the big headline level of what those ineligibilities might be. But yes, everyone else has a look at whether you violated a controlled substance or statute."
The Department of Homeland Security has been approached by GB News for comment.
