Haiti (HA) Asylum Grant Rates
2,804 asylum merits decisions; 2.1% granted (2025-09 to 2026-08). Statistics describe past decisions, not individual outcomes. Not legal advice.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the asylum grant rate for Haiti?
2,804 asylum merits decisions; 2.1% granted (2025-09 to 2026-08). Rates reflect the period and sample on this page. Statistics describe past decisions, not individual outcomes. Not legal advice.
How do asylum grant rates vary by country?
Our nationality directory compares EOIR asylum merits decisions by the nationality recorded in court data. Use the same period and sample floor for comparisons. Nationality does not determine an individual outcome.
Which courts have the most recorded decisions for Haiti?
Orlando Immigration Court; Miami Immigration Court (MIA); Baltimore Immigration Court. These are leading courts by merits-decision count in the page’s period, not recommendations about venue or individual outcomes.
How long does the asylum process take?
Completed claims with recorded filing and decision dates averaged 603 days from filing to decision; this is not a forecast for pending cases. The data cannot predict how long a pending case will take. Court proceedings, USCIS interviews and green-card processing are different processes.
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.
How can I check my immigration court case?
Use EOIR Automated Case Information for court case details and rely on official notices. Use USCIS Case Status Online for USCIS receipt numbers. These aggregate statistics do not look up individual cases.
