The U.S Embassy in Nigeria has introduced significant changes to its visa application process. Nigerian applicants will now need to visit the Consulate General in Lagos twice during the application process. The first visit involves an in-person document review with a consular staff member to ensure all necessary documents are in order before the visa interview.
The new process includes a mandatory pre-screening, enhanced digital tools for transparency and user-friendliness, and revised visa fees. The fees vary depending on visa type, with B1/B2 visa costing $185 and petition-based visas costing $205.
The changes aim to reduce delays, enhance service delivery, and improve security through thorough background checks. Nigeria and the U.S are working together to align visa policies and enhance bilateral cooperation.
Applicants can expect flexible appointment scheduling, 24/7 support, and the need for accurate documentation to avoid delays. The U.S Embassy is committed to providing efficient and secure visa services to Nigeria citizens.
