    Visitor visa refusal rate for Albania nationals

    The State Department publishes refusal rates by nationality, counting applicants at every post, not by post. A refusal is what applicants usually call a visa rejection. This is the rate for nationals of Albania wherever they applied, not a rate for Tirana.
