Examiner: HO, ANDY

Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2194

This examiner grants 92% of resolved cases

Analysis

Andy Ho works in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2194, where he has handled 1030 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 91.6%, which is exceptionally high and indicates a very positive outlook for applicants. This is coupled with a median days to allowance of 932, providing a clear expectation for the duration of the prosecution process. These figures, based on 1030 resolved cases, reflect a highly efficient and receptive examination style.

The interview lift pct of 7.6% is relatively low, likely because the baseline allowance rate of 91.6% is already so high. While an interview still provides a small benefit, most applications are successful through the written record alone. Given the 932 median days to allowance, practitioners should focus on high quality written responses, using the 7.6% lift only when specific, difficult issues arise. The large volume of 1030 resolved cases ensures that these metrics are a dependable guide for practice.
