Small sample

With only 18 decisions this percentage is an estimate with a wide spread, not a characteristic of the judge. The interval shows how wide.

How this percentage is calculated
Grant rate = granted / (granted + denied). Administrative closures, withdrawals, abandonment and "not adjudicated" are excluded from the denominator. The unit of count is a decision per proceeding, not per application: applicants almost always file asylum, withholding and CAT protection together. Withholding and CAT grants are counted separately from asylum. U.S. fiscal year: October 1 – September 30.

How this compares

  • SAIPAN — IMMIGRATION COURT6% (18)
  • All U.S. courts33% (1,350,724)

This comparison does not adjust for which cases a judge was given: judges see different nationalities, different shares of detained respondents, and different rates of legal representation. A difference in percentages does not by itself mean identical cases were treated differently.

Years with fewer than 10 decisions are not plotted (6): at that sample size the percentage is noise. They remain in the table.

How long a case takes

From service of the NTA to the decision on the application, across all judges of this court.

Too few cases with a known NTA date for the duration to mean anything.

The queue

Cases at this court with no decision yet.

already waited, median
  • Half have waited between 1 mo and 11 mo.
  • 450 (92%) have a hearing scheduled later than the date this data was collected. The rest have no upcoming event in the release.

The queue counts proceedings with no decision in the release. The figure runs from the NTA date to the release cutoff — it is how long people have already waited, not how much longer they will. Shown separately: how many have a hearing scheduled after the cutoff. The rest have no upcoming event in the release and should not be read alongside live cases.

Data comes from the monthly EOIR Case Data release (U.S. DOJ FOIA Library). This service is not affiliated with the U.S. government and does not provide legal advice. The data lags by roughly a month; for current case status use ACIS and Respondent Access. The source is known to have missing records, including relief applications — absent data does not mean it is absent from your case.
