Ties to Philippines in decided clearance cases

What the decided public record shows for cases in which ties to Philippines were alleged. Ties to any country are not themselves disqualifying, and every case turns on its own facts. This is decided history, not a prediction, and it says nothing about any nationality or community.

How these numbers are measured

Scope: decided hearing-level cases whose Guideline B allegations name this country. The country field is free text in the source, so the variants observed in the record are mapped onto one canonical name and nothing is guessed; records naming several countries in one field are excluded rather than split. A case naming two countries counts once under each. Counts of country risk and of ties living in the United States are counted only where the decision says so expressly, so both are floors. Pages exist only for countries with at least 25 decided cases.

Reading the statistics

  • Granted = access granted or continued; Denied = denied or revoked.
  • Grant rate = granted ÷ (granted + denied).
  • † marks figures based on fewer than 20 cases, too few to be reliable.
  • Hovering any rate shows its statistical range (a 95% confidence interval).
  • Figures are descriptive counts over decided, public DOHA ISCR decisions, never predictions or assessments of any pending case.
