Between fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2025, the grant rate at CIC rose by 7.0 percentage points, moving from 63.3% to 70.3%. That window spans 11 fiscal years of reported data, covering shifts in bench composition, policy guidance, and nationality mix. The year-by-year table lower on this page shows the underlying annual case volume for every year in the series.

Outcomes vary substantially judge-to-judge. Judge LLU has the largest recorded caseload at 6,590 decisions (62.2% grant rate). The spread between the highest-grant and lowest-grant judges at this court is 85.1 percentage points — JSI at 99.1% versus X14 at 14.0%. 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.
