Outcomes vary substantially judge-to-judge. Judge OMB has the largest recorded caseload at 11,401 decisions (63.8% grant rate). The spread between the highest-grant and lowest-grant judges at this court is 40.5 percentage points — MRM at 87.1% versus SAA at 46.6%. These differences reflect case mix, nationality assignments, and docket type rather than any single factor, and they are why EOIR cautions readers against treating any judge's rate as predictive of an individual case.
