Austria issues Schengen visas at 3 locations in the United States; this office handled 21% of their 3,585 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: New York 2.3% and Los Angeles 5.4%, which makes Washington D.C. the highest of the group. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.
