How the Difficulty Score Works
The difficulty score (1–10) is calculated from:
- Average wait time — longer waits increase the score
- Rejection rate — higher rejections = higher difficulty
- Document strictness — based on applicant reports of extra requests
- Language barrier — offices with less English support score higher
