Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3623

This examiner grants 35% of resolved cases

Analysis

Folashade Anderson, working in Art Unit 3623 within Tech Center 3600, has resolved 543 cases. The allowance rate is 35.2%, and the median days to allowance is 1554. These metrics point to a challenging environment with long pendency for allowed applications. The 1554-day median timeline is a significant factor for practitioners to account for in their strategy.

The interview lift is 37.4%, which is higher than the base allowance rate of 35.2%. This suggests that interviews are a highly effective tool for practitioners to navigate the examination process and improve the likelihood of a grant. The 37.4% lift indicates that the examiner is very responsive to verbal discussions. Given the 543 resolved cases, the data highlights the importance of direct engagement to overcome the 35.2% allowance rate. Practitioners should prioritize interviews to address rejections and potentially move the 1554-day process forward.
