The U.S. visa refusal rate for South Korean nationals has sharply increased to one in four applicants, marking the highest level since records began in 2020. This significant rise, from 14.97% in the previous year to 24.73%, is believed to be influenced by former President Trump's strict immigration policies. The increase primarily affects B1 (business) and B2 (tourism) visit visas.
