The official website of the US Consular Service published document with statistics of nonimmigrant visa refusals to citizens of all countries in 2020.
According to US immigration law, a visa must be refused if the applicant cannot establish his eligibility, either because the application does not meet the requirements of the established visa category, or if there is a reason for disqualification due to other aspects of the visa case.
A visa denial in this case is a formal denial of a nonimmigrant visa by a U.S. consular officer acting pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
