Analysis

Jung W Kim, in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2132, has 156 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 48.1, and the median days to allowance is 1599. These metrics indicate the prosecution environment and its delays. The 1599-day median is a figure suggesting that applicants should be prepared for the timeline for a final decision.

The interview lift is 18.2, suggesting that interviews can help improve the 48.1 allowance rate. While this lift is positive, it is a factor that practitioners must account for in their strategy alongside the 156 resolved cases. For these cases, the 1599-day median pendency is a primary consideration. By utilizing the 18.2 lift, applicants may be able to improve their chances of success, but they should also be prepared for the duration of the prosecution process defined by these metrics.
