Most Russians asking for US entry visas obtain them, the US ambassador in Moscow said Wednesday.

MOSCOW, November 20 (RIA Novosti) – Most Russians asking for US entry visas obtain them, the US ambassador in Moscow said Wednesday.

Michael McFaul said at a meeting with students in Moscow’s Foreign Literature Library that more than 90 percent of those applying for visas were granted them.

He noted that the figure is higher in Russia than in many other countries.

The key reason why some applicants are denied visas, he said, is that they provided false information about themselves.

McFaul said he is not against immigration into the United States, but urged applicants to do so only by legal means.
