How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Julia E. Egy is listed with the Sterling, VA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 10.7% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (532 decided, 5.8% grant rate), Guatemala (386 decided, 2.6% grant rate), and El Salvador (321 decided, 18.1% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
