Immigration Judge JHK

Case Insights: Judge JHK

Immigration Judge JHK has issued 303 recorded decisions at the PSD in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 270 resulted in relief granted (89.1%), 2 were denied (0.7%), and 31 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (10.2%). That volume places Judge JHK among a lighter caseload at the PSD.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 88.4 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as grant-leaning 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 PSD itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge JHK's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for PSD 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.
