Analysis

Alex W Lam operates in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2836 with 286 resolved cases. He maintains an allowance rate pct of 91.6. This suggests the probability that applications in his docket reach allowance. The median days to allowance is 720.

The interview lift pct of 2.1 is a modest metric, which may be related to the baseline allowance rate pct of 91.6. There is a specific range for interviews to increase the probability of a grant when the initial rate is 91.6. With 286 resolved cases, the data indicates a consistent path to allowance for applicants. The 2.1 lift suggests that while interviews are available, they may not be as critical to a positive outcome as the 91.6 allowance rate pct itself.
