Is it true? US visa denials rising for Antiguans and Barbudans
Is it true? Many Antiguans and Barbudans say they are facing a sharp increase in US visa rejections, even for routine renewals. Business leaders, professionals, and long-time travelers report being denied without clear reasons, disrupting trade, family visits, and education plans.
Local visa consultants call the surge “unprecedented,” pointing to stricter vetting rules, tougher interpretations of US immigration policy, and lingering effects of the Trump-era stance on Caribbean nationals. For many residents, the visa remains essential, and some are now budgeting for multiple applications despite the financial risk.

I believe the denial rate a higher for all non-white countries. Don’t think we are alone.
There are other places to travel. Why do people wants to go to that shitwhole is besides me.
The inconvenience is so striking nowadays. The fact that every Antiguan and Barbudan applicant have to physically show up in Barbados when applying for a visa is the challenging and demanding part. Airline ticket, hotel accommodation cost, visa application cost, time away, yet you are not even guaranteed that you would be successful at getting the visa. Just huge cost implications for us.
