Case Insights: Azerbaijan Nationals in US Immigration Court
Azerbaijan nationals had 503 asylum cases decided on the merits in the DOJ EOIR data between FY2015 and FY2025, representing a smaller caseload within the national system. Of those merits decisions, 378 were granted (75.1%) and 125 were denied (24.9%). Asylum applications that were administratively closed, withdrawn, or otherwise not decided on the merits are excluded from this rate, so the grant and denial percentages here sum to 100% of merits decisions.
The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 50.2 percentage points, which places Azerbaijan above the typical EOIR denial-heavy baseline.
Why these figures describe patterns, not predictions
Because immigration outcomes are heavily case-, judge-, and court-specific, the nationwide figures shown here are useful for orientation and research rather than prediction. EOIR and TRAC Immigration both emphasize that country-level grant rates are descriptive summaries of past decisions, not forecasts for any individual proceeding. The court-by-court breakdown below and the sibling guides on this site explain how representation, relief type, and country-conditions evidence influence the final outcome in any single case.
