Examiner: SALMAN, AVIA ABDULSATTAR

Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3627 3687

This examiner grants 49% of resolved cases

Analysis

Avia Abdulsattar Salman has resolved 203 cases in Tech Center 3600. The allowance rate is 48.8 percent. This rate indicates a more challenging environment for applicants in Art Unit 3627. Practitioners should prepare for a rigorous examination process where grants are achieved in less than half of the resolved cases.

However, the interview lift is 42.1 percent. This is a very high lift, suggesting that interviews are exceptionally effective at moving cases toward allowance. A 42.1 percent increase in the probability of success following an interview is a strong indicator that direct communication can significantly overcome initial rejections.

The median days to allowance is 1229. This duration reflects a longer prosecution cycle. Given the difficulty of the art unit and the high 42.1 percent interview lift, a proactive and communicative approach is advisable to navigate the 1229 day timeline effectively and maximize the chances of a grant.
