The United States Embassy in Nigeria has announced stiffer and stricter visa application processes for Nigerians.
The embassy said in a statement on Tuesday that henceforth, all applicants including frequent travellers who used to use the drop box method would now have to appear for interviews each time they applied.
Also revealed in the statement was an assurance that those who had submitted theirs by 'Dropbox' before Tuesday at the US Embassy, Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos would not be affected.
The latest development for application according to the statement is that non-immigrant visa applicants in Nigeria "must" apply online and appear in person at the US Embassy in Abuja or US Consulate General in Lagos to submit their application for review.
Read the statement below:
"Effective at the close of business today, Tuesday, May 14, 2019, the U.S. Mission to Nigeria is indefinitely suspending interview waivers for renewals, otherwise known as the “Dropbox” process. Visa applications will no longer be accepted by DHL in Nigeria. Those who have already submitted their passports via “Dropbox” to DHL for processing either at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, or the Consulate General in Lagos, will not be impacted by this change.
All applicants in Nigeria seeking a nonimmigrant visa to the United States must apply online, and will be required to appear in-person at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or U.S. Consulate General in Lagos to submit their application for review. Applicants must appear at the location they specified when applying for the visa renewal.
Processing of diplomatic and official (A, G, and NATO class) visa applications will continue unchanged.
Mission Nigeria’s processing procedures are regularly reviewed in order to assess our ability to quickly, efficiently, and securely process visa applications. The U.S. Mission is taking this step to provide more efficient customer service and promote legitimate travel, and will continue to facilitate applications of established travelers to the best of its ability.
