Examiner: ALMO, KHAREEM E

Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2816 2836 2842 2849

This examiner grants 87% of resolved cases

Analysis

Khareem E. Almo operates in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2816, having completed 726 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 87.3 percent is high, indicating that the vast majority of applications are approved. The median time to allowance is 844 days, providing a relatively efficient timeline compared to other units. This high success rate across 726 cases suggests a consistent examination environment.

The interview lift of 5.6 percent suggests a marginal increase in the probability of success through direct engagement. Because the base allowance rate is already 87.3 percent, the impact of an interview is less pronounced than in more restrictive art units. Practitioners can expect a high likelihood of grant within the 844-day median period regardless of whether an interview is conducted. The 5.6 percent lift may still be useful for complex cases, but it is not a primary driver of success here.
