Visitor visa refusal rate for Finland 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 Finland wherever they applied, not a rate for Helsinki.

What B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa applicants report being asked
