Analysis

Shima Mohamed Wasel, working in Art Unit 2475 of Tech Center 2400, has resolved 32 cases. The allowance rate is 71.9 percent. This 71.9 percent rate indicates a generally positive outlook for applications, as a majority of resolved cases result in a grant. Practitioners should view Art Unit 2475 as a favorable environment based on these 32 cases.

The interview lift is notably high at 43.3 percent. This 43.3 percent lift suggests that interviews are an exceptionally powerful tool when working with this examiner.
