Analysis

Gabriella Giselle Bono Rios is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3774. She has 25 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is 16.0 percent. The interview lift is 0.0 percent, indicating that interviews have not historically increased the chance of allowance in her 25 resolved cases. The median days to allowance is 1255.

The 16.0 percent allowance rate suggests a very challenging prosecution environment. With 25 resolved cases, the 0.0 percent interview lift may be a result of the small sample size or a specific examination style. Practitioners should prepare for a difficult path given the 16.0 percent allowance rate and 1255 median days.
