Finland: Asylum Approval Rates and Decisions in US Immigration Courts
0 asylum merits decisions (2025-09 to 2026-08); too few decisions to report a rate. Historical EOIR decisions do not predict an individual case. Judge-code history is not verified personal tenure.
How we estimate
EOIR grant rate means grants divided by grants plus denials for asylum merits decisions, excluding other closures. Rates require at least 2 decisions; rankings require at least 30. Proceedings history can extend to 1951; the first recorded asylum merits month in this import is Dec 1972. Each dataset states its own coverage. Do not interpret proceedings coverage as asylum decision coverage. Reconstructed pending counts may differ from agency totals. Historical judge-code attribution is not verified personal tenure.

How do asylum grant rates vary by country?

Which courts have the most recorded decisions for Finland?
Denver Immigration Court; Orlando Immigration Court; West Los Angeles Immigration Court (WLA). These are leading courts by merits-decision count in the page’s period, not recommendations about venue or individual outcomes.
Why is a grant rate or ranking missing?
We display a rate only with at least 2 merits decisions and rank judges or court comparisons only with at least 30. Small samples can vary widely. A missing rate is not a zero grant rate.
