Monthly

6.5 million decided cases.

Each dot stands for about 500 of them.

About 1 in 6 was granted.

16.6% nationwide — granted ÷ (granted + denied).

But averages hide huge differences.

Keep scrolling: same court, very different judges.

Why your judge matters

Same court. Same law.
Very different odds.

Cases are assigned to judges — nobody chooses. Each dot is one judge at the selected court, placed by their historical asylum grant rate.

At New York City, NY, 77 judges range from 0.0% to 75.7%.

Each judge's all-time EOIR decided outcomes across every court they have served in: granted ÷ (granted + denied). Judges now based at this court with at least 100 decided cases. A historical pattern — not a prediction for any case.

Where you're from matters too

Your nationality
changes the picture.

The same court can decide very differently for different nationalities. Choose one to compare its national rate with the courts that hear the most of those cases.

Built on the public record

Numbers you can check.

Official EOIR source

Every rate comes from the Executive Office for Immigration Review's public case data, refreshed monthly. Current snapshot: Sep 1, 2026.

The math, in plain sight

Grant rate = granted ÷ (granted + denied). The number of decided cases sits beside every rate.

Honest about limits

Historical patterns are not predictions. AsylumTracker is independent — not a government service, and not legal advice.
