    Visitor visa refusal rate for Argentina 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 Argentina wherever they applied, not a rate for Buenos Aires.
