Judge and court statistics
Asylum grant rates shown with the number of decisions behind them and the statistical margin, trends by year, a breakdown by applicant nationality, and what became of appeals to the BIA.
U.S. immigration court data
Grant rates by judge and court, trends by year, appeal outcomes — and, separately, a way to find your own record with its hearing history.
Find your case
The source contains no names and no A-numbers: a record is found by matching several attributes. Hearing history, decoded adjournment reasons, and an asylum clock estimate.
Who is hearing cases now
Of the 1,232 judges with enough decisions in this release, not all have hearings scheduled after July 31, 2026. The grant rate of a judge you can no longer be assigned to is about the past, not about your case.

What changed in this release
Two things are visible straight from the calendar: a judge now sits at a different court, and a court has stopped scheduling hearings. Neither follows from the profile pages — those show the current state, not that it changed.

- CHELMSFORD, MA · last hearing July 28, 2026
Both figures come from the court calendar, not from the lookup table: the "active" flag is as unreliable for courts as it is for judges — the largest court that stopped has nearly a million past hearings and none scheduled ahead. A judge's move is measured across non-overlapping windows: where they heard cases a year ago versus where hearings are scheduled after the cutoff. A court with no future hearings may have closed, merged, changed code or moved its docket — the release cannot tell these apart, so only the observation is stated.

What this is not
- Not a prediction of how your case will end — the data cannot support that, and false precision is harmful.
- Not a name search — the source has no names and never will.
- Not current case status — the data lags by about a month. For current status use ACIS and Respondent Access.
- Not decision texts or documents — the release contains metadata only.
- Not legal advice.
