Besides grants and denials, EOIR records asylum applications as abandoned, withdrawn, not adjudicated or administratively closed, and some records have no application result. See how many records fall in each category, nationally, by court and by nationality.

A blank result does not mean denied, pending or no application filed. A recorded administrative step does not establish the final outcome of a person's case.
Why does this differ from the grant share elsewhere?
Other pages divide grants by grants plus denials. This table includes all eight categories, so its percentages use a larger total.
28,810 / (28,810 + 95,771) = 23.13%
Same granted and denied counts; a different question and denominator.

Why does this differ from the grant share elsewhere?

137,380 / (137,380 + 230,615) = 37.33%
Same granted and denied counts; a different question and denominator.
What do these categories mean?
Granted / denied
The saved application code records a grant or denial. Counts match the existing grant-versus-denial data for the same court or national population.
Recorded as abandoned / withdrawn
The application has an abandonment or withdrawal code. These fields alone do not tell us why.
Recorded as not adjudicated
The application has the not-adjudicated code. This is different from a blank result and does not by itself mean the case is still pending.
Recorded as administratively closed
The application has an administrative-closure code. It is not recorded here as a grant or denial.
Other recorded categories
Other saved codes, including changes of venue or transfers, are grouped together. No separate transfer count is published.
No application result recorded
An asylum application record exists, but its result field is blank. We keep those records visible as a separate category.

Recorded asylum results by nationality
This table uses the same eight saved application result categories as the national table above. Select one EOIR source nationality category and one proceeding completion fiscal year. Court and judge selections do not filter this table.

One retained proceeding with a consistent ASYL application result is counted once. The eight categories include blank results; this table's percentages use all eight categories as the denominator. A zero means no record in that category for the selected source group and year.
Source: EOIR CASE export, 2026-08. Count one proceeding with an ASYL application and one consistent saved result, including a blank result. Repeat application rows with the same result count once.
The application and proceeding case identifiers must agree. Conflicting results or case identifiers are excluded. Included proceeding types are removal, deportation, exclusion and asylum-only (RMV, DEP, EXC, AOC).
Records need a proceeding completion date in FY2021–FY2025. An application may have been entered or updated at another time. These are saved snapshot results grouped by completion year, not a history of every decision or a count of unique people.
The categories add up to this table's total. This is a broader population than grant-versus-denial records, but it is not every asylum application, every court case or the official EOIR decision series.
Court categories use the same definition as the national table. For courts covered by the complete normalized source, all eight category counts are shown. A court year with no eligible dated row is shown as a derived zero; a court or year outside this source coverage is unavailable, not zero.
This series counts eligible proceedings directly from the normalized source, including records without a resolved public judge identity. Stored completion dates do not prove decision authorship or judge appointment dates.
