The Russian share of visa refusals by Canadian and US consulates amounts to 26% and 25% respectively, Igor Suzdaltsev, a member of the board of the Russo-American Visa Council public association, said at a press conference in RIA Novosti. By contrast, according to the council, less than 3% of Russians are refused visas in consulates of other countries, Suzdaltsev pointed out. Annually some 120,000 Russian nationals apply for visas to US consulates, and about 13,000 to Canadian ones, the official specified. According to Suzdaltsev, members of the council are concerned about the growing number of US entry refusals to Russian scientists, businessmen and cultural workers, which is considered by the Russian-American Visa Council to harm scientific and humanitarian relations between the two countries. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
