Prince Harry's visa files must be made public on Tuesday on Tuesday, a judge ruled.
Judge Carl Nichols set the deadline to release the files that will give the clearest indication so far or the Duke of Sussex lied over his immigration paper.
The judge, who is in Washington, approved the editors proposed by the Department of Homeland Security and said they were 'appropriate'.
Although it is not clear which material will be released, it can contain shapes that indicate whether Harry said 'no' when he was asked if he was a drug user.
Lawyers for DHS have previously said that three items will be released with editors, but a fourth must remain private.
The right -wing Heritage Foundation sued the US Department of Interior Security (DHS) last year after the Agency, which supervises immigration in America, refused a request for freedom of information for Harry's files.
Heritage claims that Harry may have lied about the forms under the section that asks if he would have been a drug user.
In his memoirs, reserve and his Netflix -TV series, Harry spoke about the use of cannabis, cocaine and magical mushrooms.

In his order, Judge Nichols, who was appointed by Donald Trump, said: “The government has given the court its proposed editors to the documents … those editors that seem appropriate is ordered to provide the government to take care of the sophisticated versions of those documents no later than March 18, 2025.
The case caused shame and consternation for Harry and asked questions about whether he could be deported if he turned out to have lied.
But President Trump recently said that he would not order him out of the country while he would take a wipe to Meghan, whom he called “terrible.”
Trump said he only gave Harry a break because “he has enough problems with his wife.”
In September, Judge Nichols had refused heritage request to release all documents because the Duke was entitled to privacy.
But after a hearing, he reconsidered and said he wanted to reveal as much as possible as he could.
“In my opinion that it should happen,” said Judge Nichols during an earlier hearing that adds that the 'maximum amount' wanted to make material public that he could.
Judge Nichols, however, said that he did not want to reveal Harry's immigration status, which means that there could be heavy editors on some files.
After that hearing, Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at Heritage, spoke to Trump to make the files public.

He said that the president “border protection and the application of the rule of law had set a top priority.”
In the past, Harry was frank about his drug use and once said Cannabis helped to cure the trauma of his mother's death, Princess Diana.
The Duke said that with the help of Ayahuasca, a psychedelic medicine, he realized that his mother wanted him to be 'happy'.
That means that Harry's US Visa application could show in March 2020 that he has checked the 'no' subject about questions about his drug use, Heritage claims.
In earlier legal archives, DHS said that the in question in question are 'particularly sensitive' because they would 'reveal the status of Harry (immigration) in the United States.
DHS wrote: 'Although he is a public figure, Prince Harry still maintains a privacy interest in these types of records and in his immigration or visa status in general.
“Even if public figures can have a reduced expectation of privacy, they do not fully surrender their privacy interests,”
The submission added that “this was not the case, an applicant could be on a fish expedition for (government) records for every celebrity.”
The original request tried to reveal whether Harry, who moved to the US, received 'preferential treatment' after stopping working member of the British royal family.
Heritage only “told a litany of alleged suspicious circumstances (that) was missing some substance,” said DHS.
DHS has also rejected the claims of the Heritage Foundation as a 'bare suspicion of the government' and the public of Harry's paperwork would not throw 'meaningful light' on how it works.
Harry's representatives have refused to comment on the case.
