Retrieved on March 25, 2019. In addition, between 2001 and 2018, 1,285 persons who were listed as “stateless,” 102 of “unknown” nationality, and 11 persons of “no” nationality received a decision on their asylum claims in immigration court (TRAC 2019b).68 Stateless persons were also likely included among individuals listed as from the former Soviet Union (3,100), Palestine (114), and Yugoslavia (3,115). These figures include asylum seekers whose claims were originally denied before USCIS and who made their claims in removal proceedings. They do not include asylum seekers whose affirmative claims were approved by USCIS during these years. Nor do they include asylum seekers with cases pending before the USCIS Asylum Division (320,000 as of March 2018) (USCIS Ombudsman 2018, 36), or among the 1.1 pending immigration court cases (TRAC 2019c). Table 5 sets forth annual totals of asylum decisions by EOIR immigration judges between 2001 and 2018. Attachment E shows annual numbers of asylum decisions in immigration court by select listings of nationality; i.e., “unable to name a country,” “unknown” nationality, no nationality, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Palestine.
