Certain Criminal Charge Completion Statistics
Database as of August, 2016
The statistics below present information regarding the average amount of time from receipt of a removal case in immigration
court to the date of the case’s initial completion. Consistent with EOIR’s statistical methodology, case completions do not include
changes of venue or case transfers. This webpage also includes information regarding the average time between the date of the alien’s
appeal of a case to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the date of the BIA decision. Note that the average case processing
times featured in the charts below do not represent the unique factors of each case, many of which are outside of EOIR's control and
can extend the length of a case's proceedings; e.g., detention status or applications for relief or protection pending outside of EOIR.
The length of time to reach a decision in a case may also be extended by continuances granted at the request of either the respondent
(e.g., to obtain representation, gather evidence, or request a change of venue to a different immigration court) or DHS attorneys (e.g.,
to prepare evidence or complete a DHS investigation, including background checks). Whether to grant a continuance is a legal matter
governed by regulations found at 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (establishing a “good cause” legal standard) and case law.
The statistics below contain information related to specific charges of removability. Each of the charts to follow includes
information on cases with the following Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) charges on file:
(237)(a)(02)(A)(ii), (237)(a)(02)(A)(iii), (237)(a)(02)(B)(i), (237)(a)(02)(C), (237)(a)(02)(D)(i), (212)(a)(02)(B),
