Refusal rates elsewhere: New York 2.4%, Boston 0.5%, Philadelphia 0.7% and Detroit 1.3%, which makes Washington D.C. the lowest 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.

57.3% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of the United States.
