Guyanese have one of the highest overstay rates in the US when compared to the other countries in the region, according to the local US embassy.
In it’s fortnightly ‘Ask the Consul’ column in the March 13 edition of Stabroek News, it was stated that the consular officer’s decision to approve or deny a holiday visa has to also consider that Guyana has one of the highest overstay rates when compared to other countries in the region. It noted that this consideration is augmented “by the fact that Guyana has one of the healthiest migration rates per capita in the world”.
