    US denies non-immigrant visas to 59.56% of Uzbek applicants in 2023

    US denies non-immigrant visas to 59.56% of Uzbek applicants in 2023

    In 2023, the US authorities denied non-immigrant visas (B-category visas) to 59.56% of Uzbek citizens, Kursiv reported. This rate is the highest in the Central Asian region, surpassing the refusal rates for Kyrgyz (41.54%) and Kazakh citizens (41.93%).

    Central Asian region: closer look

    Among Turkmenistan and Tajikistan citizens, almost every second person was refused a visa, with refusal rates of 51.10% and 54.96% respectively. This indicates a significant challenge for Central Asian citizens in securing non-immigrant US visas.

    Global perspective

    Globally, the refusal rate for Uzbeks was surpassed by only nine countries. North Korea, Palau, and Micronesia topped the list with a 100% refusal rate. Liberia (78.1%), Mauritania (76.43%), Laos (72.79%), Somalia (69.89%), Nicaragua (65.6%), and Mali (60.1%) also had higher refusal rates than Uzbekistan.

    Potential reasons for high visa refusal rates

    There are several potential reasons why Uzbek citizens, along with applicants from other countries, might face high refusal rates for US non-immigrant visas.

    Incomplete or incorrect application

    One of the most common reasons for visa refusal is an incomplete or incorrect application. The DS160 form, which is the primary application form for US non-immigrant visas, requires detailed and accurate information. Any discrepancies between the information provided in the form and during the interview can lead to a visa refusal.

    Lack of strong ties to home country

    Another significant factor is the applicant’s ties to their home country. The US authorities need to be convinced that the applicant has strong reasons to return home after their visit. This could include family ties, employment, or property ownership.

    Insufficient financial support

    Applicants must also demonstrate that they have adequate financial support for their stay in the US. This could be personal funds or funds provided by a sponsor. If the consular officer is not convinced of the applicant’s financial stability, this could lead to a visa refusal.

    Immigrant intent

    The US law presumes that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant. Therefore, applicants for visitor visas must overcome this presumption by demonstrating that:

    • The purpose of their trip is to enter the US for business, pleasure, or medical treatment.
    • They plan to remain for a specific, limited period.
    • Evidence of funds to cover expenses in the United States.
    • They have a residence outside the US as well as other binding ties that will ensure their return abroad at the end of the visit.
