The only published rate for Switzerland
5.82% of B-1/B-2 visitor visa applications from Switzerland were refused in FY2025. Visitor visas are the one class where the State Department publishes a figure for each nationality, so this is the only number on the site that is genuinely specific to Switzerland rather than a worldwide average.
