The United States rejects the highest number of visa applications globally. In 2022, over 3.8 million visa applications were denied, accounting for approximately 35% of all requests. High rejection rates are often linked to stringent immigration policies, insufficient documentation, or concerns over applicants’ intent to return home.
Countries like Mexico, China, and India frequently face high refusal rates due to large application volumes. The B1/B2 visitor visa category sees the most denials. Applicants can improve approval chances by providing strong ties to their home country, such as employment, property, or family, to demonstrate non-immigrant intent.
