Antigua and Barbuda boasts lowest US visa refusal rate among OECS

14

Antigua and Barbuda had the lowest refusal rates in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States for US non-immigrant visas last year.

 

That revelation has come from an updated report posted on the website of the US State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs.

 

According to the report, the refusal rate for Antigua and Barbuda nationals who applied for and were refused B-1 or B-2 visas last year stands at 14.09 per cent.

 

In comparison, the refusal rate for Dominica is 25 per cent, Grenada – 16.58 per cent, St. Kitts and Nevis – 17.14 per cent, St. Lucia – 16.72 per cent, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines – 14.12 per cent.

 

Those statistics make Antigua and Barbuda the most successful within the OECS – as far as US visitor visa approvals for last year are concerned – and also place the country among the best in the wider region.

 

Across CARICOM, the Bahamas has an 8.3 per cent refusal rate, Barbados – 6.55 per cent, Belize – 26.45 per cent, Guyana – 28.42 per cent, Haiti – 47.12 per cent, Jamaica – 30.04 per cent, Suriname – 11.91 per cent, and Trinidad and Tobago – 13.64 per cent.

        • @Brix u bex because u can’t get Gaston for your own … You are so sad …. I am wondering if you are Antiguan at all … I pity u … The big broke businessman who was hoping for a payday from the upp … 10 more years my bother … By then u will be off the calendar

          • Don’t feel sorry for me @ Curious. I know how to play the financial game through “PASSIVE” income just like your political mates that you so admire (and they will never reveal to the likes of you and your fellow Gastonites).

            I’ve studied the financial markets for a decade or so, and sometimes you lose and sometimes you win, but I’ve never regretted delving into it.

            ASK YOUR MATES IN THE ABLP HOW THE FINANCIAL MARKETS WORK, AND THEN MAYBE PASSIVE INCOME WILL WORK FOR YOU AS WELL @ CURIOUS!

            REMEMBER, FINANCIAL EDUCATION IS POWER …

  3. Mean while these idiots fail to say that Americans do not need a visa to enter Antigua.
    There are zero denial of entry for Americans into Antigua.

    America owes Antigua hundreds of millions of dollars. WHO IS BOASTING AND WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY BOASTING ABOUT?

      • @Brix.. I agree with you.. always wondered why countries thousands of miles away … Had free access to the us, and the so called neighbors next door had to get visa … Is it because we are black little nations …

  4. “The dog was quite surprised as he saw his own reflection in the river. He mistook it for another dog with a juicy bone in its mouth. The greedy dog wanted to snatch that bone also. So, he opened his mouth to bark at his own reflection, hoping to scare the other dog away so that he could get that bone too.
    ”

    SKn at some 17 percent yet watch some of nations deniers claiming the grass is better in SKN. Saga reminds of the dog and his bone. Look I holding and eating my A&B bone. As far as the US, its high time they utilized technology and do the interviews via for eg zoom
