Why applications on this route get refused
Applying for the wrong visa type
Applying for Ordinary Visa as a US passport holder, or otherwise selecting the wrong category, is explicitly stated to cause rejection.
How to avoid it: Confirm your correct visa category before applying, US citizens need the Multiple Entry Visa even for a single tourist trip.
Incomplete documentation
A visa application that lacks sufficient information or attachments will be rejected outright, per the official guidelines.
How to avoid it: Double-check every required document and photo spec is met exactly before submitting, applications can't be edited after submission.
