What's New in Open Borders
2.1.0
September 11, 2026
Open Borders 2.1 is the biggest update since the rebuild: • Immigration Court insights — how every sitting immigration judge and court has decided cases since 2021: asylum grant rates, bond, relief by type, time to decision and appeals, with a map of who appointed each state's judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals. Data through August 2026. • Processing times — current USCIS times by form and office with a personalized estimate, the Visa Bulletin as a waiting line, and Department of Labor queues. • Alerts — firm-authored notices when a rule, fee or court decision changes what you should do, with who is affected and what to do next. • Guide updates — new questions and answers reflecting 2026 changes, including the end of advance parole as a safe departure and the annual asylum fee. • An emergency guide for families after an ICE detention in Montana. • Spanish throughout, refreshed layouts for iPhone and iPad, and an edge-to-edge status bar. Open Borders remains a free educational guide — not legal advice and not an eligibility decision.
