Case Insights: Palau Nationals in US Immigration Court
Palau nationals had 6 asylum cases decided on the merits in the DOJ EOIR data between FY2015 and FY2025, representing a limited caseload within the national system. Of those merits decisions, 0 were granted (0.0%) and 6 were denied (100.0%). Asylum applications that were administratively closed, withdrawn, or otherwise not decided on the merits are excluded from this rate, so the grant and denial percentages here sum to 100% of merits decisions.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 -100.0 percentage points, which places Palau toward the lower end of the grant-rate distribution seen across EOIR data.
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.
