Analysis

Deepa Mishra has 81 resolved cases in Art Unit 1651. Her allowance rate is 29.6 percent, which is a low rate for Tech Center 1600. This baseline reflects a rigorous examination environment for the applications assigned to her docket.

The interview lift of 34.9 percent is quite high. This 34.9 percent lift suggests that interviews are a very effective tool for improving the 29.6 percent allowance rate. Practitioners should consider direct engagement as a primary strategy for overcoming rejections and moving toward a grant.
