"CAB" is the anonymized judge code DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) assigns in its public case-data release, not a verified public identity. EOIR does not publish immigration judges' full names in this dataset, so this code should not be read as confirming, or attributing these statistics to, any specific named individual. See our methodology for detail.

Statistical data only. Individual judge grant rates reflect historical case outcomes, case mix, nationalities handled, and legal representation rates all affect these numbers. This is not a prediction for any future case. Consult a licensed immigration attorney.
