Visa waiver program admission

[tehans 52]

Would it not make more sense to determine the admissibly of a country into the VWP by the number of overstays rather than denials??

Oh wait that would make too much sense, plue the US could not decide who gets in and who doesn't

If country is part of VWP is not solely based on visa refuals, it is multiple factors that go in consideration before a country is made part of VWP.

True, but the main criteria is the refusal rate which the US controls.

Understand your frustration, but one thing you need to realize is that when people in your wife's country hear that they no longer need visa to go to US, ~90% of them will think they can go, work and stay. If ever Poland joins VWP, it won't be there for long. Sad reality.

And plenty of evidence, just see what happened in the UK.
