Outcomes vary substantially judge-to-judge. Judge SHK has the largest recorded caseload at 3,739 decisions (77.0% grant rate). The spread between the highest-grant and lowest-grant judges at this court is 37.7 percentage points — SHK at 77.0% versus TMO at 39.3%. 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.
