Latest 12-month grant rate
Asylum decisions, trailing 12 months
Too few recorded decisions here to report a rate that means anything. The case count above is the complete record; the court averages beside it rest on the whole court and remain reliable.

FY2025 court average
Complete fiscal year: Oct 2024 – Sep 2025
Court average before the 2025 change
FY2024 baseline: Oct 2023 – Sep 2024
FY2024 was the last full fiscal year before the January 2025 asylum-policy changes, so it is kept fixed as a before-and-after baseline rather than updated. More cases now close administratively, which shifts the merit-decision mix and is why the later figures are much lower.
