Analysis

Faiyazkhan Ghafoerkhan operates in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2419, with 585 resolved cases. The examiner maintains an allowance rate of 87.2% and a median days to allowance of 985. These figures point to a generally favorable prosecution environment. The 87.2% rate is the primary indicator of success, while the 985-day figure represents the typical duration for applications that reach allowance.

The interview lift is 8.2%, which provides a modest boost to the 87.2% allowance rate. Given the high probability of success and the 985-day median timeline, interviews can be used selectively to address specific concerns.

These metrics provide a reliable basis for strategic planning.
