Historical outcomes by court

Each row is a fiscal year at the court stored on the dated record. Courts are not pooled; an official listing never moves old results to a new court. Small groups remain visible and are labeled.

Judge figures group saved asylum outcomes by the judge code on each EOIR proceeding. The code identifies the assigned judge; these records do not verify who personally made every application decision. How judge figures work

About these records

Questions about these records

Is this the judge’s asylum approval or denial rate?

It is the recorded grant share: of 108 asylum grant-or-denial records under judge code GA at West Los Angeles Immigration Court · WLA in FY2013, 74 were grants (68.52%) and 34 were denials (31.48%).

Withdrawals, abandonment, administrative closure and other outcomes are outside this denominator. The judge code identifies the assigned judge; it does not prove who decided each application.

Why do other websites show a different number?

Publications count different things. This page counts asylum applications that ended in a grant or a denial in EOIR’s public CASE data, by fiscal year, at the court stored on each proceeding, and never pools courts.

Other reports may count other relief, such as withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture, count decisions rather than proceedings, combine courts or use other years. Compare the period, the population and N before comparing percentages.

Why are courts listed separately?

Each record keeps the court stored on its proceeding. This judge code has grant or denial records at 4 courts. They are shown separately and never pooled, and the official listing does not move older records to a new court.

What does a small sample mean here?

When fewer than 100 grant or denial records stand behind a share, one or two decisions can move it by several percentage points. Such figures are marked † or labeled as a small sample, and the 95% interval shows how wide the uncertainty is.

Can these numbers predict my case?

No. They describe past records under a judge code. The outcome of a case depends on its own facts, evidence and law. For advice about your case, talk to a qualified lawyer or accredited representative.

Why some source records are outside the dated results

35 eligible asylum records have no application result; 35 of them appear in the dated list.
20 asylum-linked proceedings have conflicting saved application results.

A blank date or result does not establish a pending case, an undecided application, or the absence of a decision. Missing dates are not assigned to an assumed fiscal year.

All eligible dated result categories are included through the source cutoff, without aggregate suppression filters.

Source cutoff: 2026-08-31 · FY2026 is incomplete. Earlier stored dates may predate a judge’s appointment because assignment and saved completion date describe different events.

Nationality and representation selections do not filter this list. Case identifiers and personal attributes are not included.

Available historical coverage

Source coverage includes all normalized dated records for this identity. It is not verified decision authorship or a complete case history.

Coverage counting rules

Counts describe stored proceedings associated with the judge code, not unique cases, people, or verified decision authorship. Asylum applications are combined per proceeding using the same joins and conflict rules as the dated list.

8,167 asylum-linked proceedings meet the proceeding-type, case-link and result-consistency rules. These eligible records split into missing dates, invalid dates, dates after the cutoff, and dated records through the cutoff.

The dated list includes all saved result categories, including a blank result. Grant share uses only dated grants divided by dated grants plus denials; other categories are excluded.

These are saved results on proceedings assigned to the selected judge in EOIR data, not independently verified decision authorship. The application result has no separate decision timestamp. Completion dates may reflect a different event or later edits.

Each row represents one eligible proceeding after duplicate application rows are combined. Identical dates and results can appear multiple times. A person may have multiple proceedings. Within-day order does not indicate the sequence of decisions.

The public timeline includes all eight saved result categories and all stored completion years through the source cutoff. Conflicting application outcomes and inconsistent case joins remain excluded. Complete records can reconstruct counts hidden in legacy aggregate tables; those tables no longer provide a non-reconstruction guarantee.

Schedule filtering and source checks

The 2026-08 EOIR edition is grouped using a source cutoff of 2026-08-31. Counts describe proceeding records with retained future hearing dates, grouped by the judge and court codes stored on each schedule record. Records with a handling reason and other excluded records are kept outside the counts; records that cannot be confirmed are listed separately. All proceedings includes the reliably identified asylum-associated subset.

Later recorded hearing dates are included in the source coverage summary.
