This examiner grants 59% of resolved cases
Thane E. Underdahl is an examiner in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1651, where he has handled 551 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 58.8%, which suggests a more challenging examination process than in some other units. This 58.8% rate serves as a baseline for applicants to gauge their chances of success. The 551 cases resolved by this examiner offer a reliable sample size for these performance metrics.
A standout data point for this examiner is the interview lift of 50.8%, which is exceptionally high. This figure indicates that conducting an interview is a highly effective strategy for moving an application toward allowance. Furthermore, the median days to allowance is 1358, suggesting a relatively long prosecution cycle. The high 50.8% lift suggests that the time spent in an interview can be a pivotal investment in overcoming the challenges that contribute to the 1358-day median pendency.
Practitioners should prioritize scheduling interviews early in the process given the 50.8% lift observed across 551 cases. While the 58.8% allowance rate indicates a rigorous review, the significant impact of verbal communication cannot be overlooked. The 1358-day median to allowance should be factored into the overall strategy, with the understanding that direct dialogue is a primary driver of success. This profile highlights the importance of active engagement in Tech Center 1600.
