Eric Yaary serves in Tech Center 1700 and specifically within Art Unit 1700. With 875 resolved cases, this examiner has a documented history of dispositions. The recorded allowance rate is 73.8 percent, while the median days to allowance stands at 957.

The data includes an interview lift of 3.3 percent. This indicates a positive correlation between interviews and allowances for the 875 resolved cases. Practitioners can use the 73.8 percent allowance rate and the 3.3 percent lift to weigh the necessity of an interview against the 957 day median timeline for reaching an allowance. The 3.3 percent lift suggests that while interviews are associated with higher success, the baseline allowance rate of 73.8 percent is already a primary indicator of outcome for applications.
