Prince Harry's immigration documents to the US were partially released on Tuesday, but they have been heavily edited and have not answered any important questions.
Last week, Judge Carl Nichols called for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to be sealed in support of a demand for freedom of information submitted by a conservative Heritage Foundation think tank.

Past drug use is not necessarily disqualified in itself, but it could be revoked because it may be lying on a visa application.
In Tuesday's release, the type of visa received by the Duke of Sussex did not disclose what visas to move to the US after discussing royal duties in favor of a Hollywood money-making venture with his wife.
There was a proposal that the Biden administration may have granted the prince an A-1 visa. This is usually reserved for the head of a foreign state and has a wide range of leeways exempt from facing criminal trials in the United States.

“This doesn't change the big picture. There have been no attempts to answer any questions about whether he lied or not. A largely edited document only increases public pressure to release the application.
The Heritage Foundation asked President Trump to personally intervene in the case, but he said last month he had no plans to deport the prince, saying, “He has enough problems with his wife. She's terrible.”
