Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3791

This examiner grants 26% of resolved cases

Analysis

Martin Nathan Ortega serves in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3791, with 81 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 25.9%, which is low and suggests a difficult path for applicants. The median days to allowance is 1442, indicating that the cases that do reach allowance take a long time to do so. This 1442-day figure, combined with the 25.9% success rate, highlights the rigorous nature of examination in this unit.

However, the interview lift is a substantial 34.2%. This 34.2% lift is a key metric in the profile, as it increases the likelihood of success compared to the 25.9% baseline. For the 81 resolved cases, this data suggests that direct engagement is an effective strategy for overcoming rejections. Practitioners should prioritize interviews during the 1442-day median pendency to take advantage of this 34.2% lift and improve their chances in a challenging environment.
