Between fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2025, the grant rate at SAI held roughly steady by 0.1 percentage points, moving from 64.0% to 64.1%.

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 CMW has the largest recorded caseload at 495 decisions (45.9% grant rate). 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.
