Frequently asked questions
What is the asylum grant rate at the Memphis Immigration Court?
Across all recorded asylum decisions, the Memphis Immigration Court has a lifetime grant rate of 24.3%, based on 20,263 merit decisions released by the EOIR under FOIA. This figure is weighted across every immigration judge who has sat at this court and uses the standard methodology of cases granted divided by cases granted plus cases ordered removed.
How many immigration judges sit at the Memphis Immigration Court?
87 immigration judges currently appear in the FOIA-released EOIR data for the Memphis Immigration Court. Each judge's per-case statistics are listed in the judge roster on this page; lifetime grant rates per judge can diverge from the court-wide aggregate because of caseload mix and decision volume.
Where does this data come from?
Case-level outcomes were released by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) under the Freedom of Information Act and republished by the Deportation Data Project (UC Berkeley). Aggregates are corroborated by TRAC Immigration (Syracuse University). See the methodology footer for source links.
Is the grant rate predictive of an individual case outcome?
No. The grant rate is a statistical aggregate over completed decisions; it is not a prediction. Individual case outcomes depend on case-specific merits, evidence, country conditions, and the quality of counsel. This page is informational and does not constitute legal advice.
