Analysis

Faria F. Ahmad serves in Art Unit 3674 of Tech Center 3600. With 639 resolved cases, the examiner demonstrates a high volume of activity and a consistent track record. The allowance rate of 76.7 percent suggests a favorable path for most applications processed through this office.

The data indicates an interview lift percentage of 8.4. While this shows that interviews provide some benefit, the impact is specific to this examiner's practice where the baseline allowance rate of 76.7 percent is already robust. The median days to allowance is 1149, which is the standard duration for successful applications. Applicants can use the 639 resolved cases as a reliable indicator of the examiner's established practices and the 1149-day timeline for planning purposes. The 8.4 percent interview lift remains a viable option for resolving specific issues, even if the 76.7 percent allowance rate already suggests a high probability of success.
