The data shows an interview lift of 46.1 percent, indicating that direct engagement with the examiner is a useful strategy for overcoming rejections. This 46.1 percent lift is high relative to the 54.2 percent allowance rate, suggesting that verbal communication may clarify technical issues more efficiently than written correspondence alone.
