Not legal advice. These are counts from the Executive Office for Immigration Review's published statistics and case data, kept for marketing planning. EOIR says its statistics are subject to change, a count is not a case outcome, and eligibility, deadlines and strategy are a matter for each person's own lawyer.
Probative is a marketing firm, not a law firm; not legal advice.
