    Visitor visa refusal rate for Malaysia 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 Malaysia wherever they applied, not a rate for Kuala Lumpur.
