1.1: Specified Time Frames
Adjudicate cases within specified time frames. Other Information:
In the Department of Justice Strategic Plan for FY 2007-2012, four EOIR adjudication priorities are identified, with specific
processing time frames for each. Goals have been established for each of EOIR’s adjudicative components. Additionally, EOIR
has identified processing time frames for each type of case that it adjudicates. With the exception of statutorily-mandated
deadlines, EOIR has determined that completing 90 percent of a particular type of case within the established time frame is
an acceptable long-term result. Through the quarterly analysis of component workload, OCIJ will monitor each immigration court
to identify any that have not met the established time frames and take action (e.g., refined case management techniques, resource
realignment, and/or technology enhancements) as necessary and feasible to assist courts in meeting their case completion goals.
BIA will sustain processes to ensure the Board’s success in meeting established time frames for adjudication of cases. OCAHO
will monitor its caseload and take action as necessary to ensure that case completion goals are met. Agency managers will
analyze the agency’s reported goals on a periodic basis to ensure that they are suitably ambitious. Any changes will be reflected
in the Department’s key indicators. Measure: Number of case types in which the time frame goals were met and percent change
from the last reporting period. Milestone: Annual reassessment of reported goals.
