Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse
==========================================
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Greetings. The number of cases awaiting resolution before the Immigration
Courts reached a new all time high of 242,776 matters at the end of March
2010, according to an analysis of very timely court data by the
Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). The case backlog has
continued to grow -- up 6.3 percent -- since TRAC's last report four months
ago, and is nearly a third higher (30.4%) than it was a mere 18 months ago.
The average length of time cases have been waiting increased to 443 days.
TRAC's latest report on the Immigration Courts can be viewed at this

Released with this special report is an update to TRAC's Immigration Court
Caseload Tool, which provides a way to obtain case backlogs and waiting
times in each state, court, and hearing location. This information is also
available by nationality. For the Immigration Court Caseload Tool, go to:

TRAC is self-supporting and depends on foundation grants, individual
contributions and subscription fees for the funding needed to obtain,
analyze and publish the data we collect on the activities of the US Federal
government. To help support TRAC's ongoing efforts, go to:
