Immigration Judge AJS

Case Insights: Judge AJS

Immigration Judge AJS has issued 1,637 recorded decisions at the NEW in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 701 resulted in relief granted (42.8%), 17 were denied (1.0%), and 919 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (56.1%). That volume places Judge AJS among a substantial docket at the NEW.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 41.8 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as roughly balanced relative to national EOIR norms. Because every case before an immigration judge depends on nationality, relief type, representation status, and country conditions, these aggregate rates are not a predictor of any single future decision. TRAC Immigration and DOJ EOIR both caution readers to interpret judge-level rates as descriptive rather than prescriptive statistics.

The NEW itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge AJS's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for NEW lists all sitting judges and their recorded outcome rates, making side-by-side comparison of caseloads and grant percentages straightforward for researchers, attorneys, and respondents.
