## How to read these figures

- The nationality is the EOIR source category saved on the proceeding, not a verified citizenship.
- A recorded grant share is grants divided by grants plus denials; abandoned, withdrawn, administratively closed and other outcomes are outside the denominator.
- The distribution compares this nationality across courts; courts are never pooled.
- Past records do not predict an individual case.
