Outcome statistics across decided public DOHA cases. Descriptive, not predictive. Data through March 2026.
31% granted overall (10 of 32).
Bars: hearing decisions per year. Line: grant rate, drawn only for years with at least 20decided cases. The dashed markers show when policies took effect; they don’t claim a policy caused a change. Early years are thin because the public archive is: DOHA published few decisions online before 2002, and almost none survive for 1999–2000.
Granted vs denied for each concern. Open a row for the specific issues inside it. Your concern filter (Allegiance to the United States) narrows the other sections; here it highlights the row so you can still compare.

Figures are descriptive counts over decided, public DOHA Industrial Security Clearance Review (ISCR) decisions. They are not predictions or assessments of any future or pending case.
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. Hover any rate for its statistical range (a 95% confidence interval).
Hearing vs. appeal is read from each decision’s own text (the source label was unreliable). Appeals, mostly affirmed denials, are reported only in the appeals section and never mixed into a hearing grant rate. Every chart and table honors the filter bar except the appeals section, which honors the year and concern filters only.
Descriptive of decided public DOHA ISCR decisions · data through March 2026.
† = fewer than 20 cases, too few to trust. A case can raise several concerns, so rows overlap.
How often each mitigation was expressly accepted by the judge (not merely claimed) across the cases in view.
