Immigration Judge ANW

Case Insights: Judge ANW

Immigration Judge ANW has issued 2,045 recorded decisions at the HYA in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 1,198 resulted in relief granted (58.6%), 32 were denied (1.6%), and 815 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (39.9%). That volume places Judge ANW among a substantial docket at the HYA.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 57.0 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 HYA itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge ANW's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for HYA 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.
