Not quoting the 110k, not everyone looks at the date below the exchange rate box to know if there will be a review that's why they keep coming here to ask if its true. But in all honesty do you see the fee coming down?

giftdavid112:

Madam abeg. Where did you see the 110k on the website? Its not today they started reviewing exchange rates periodically. Visa has been $160 and naira hasn't fallen.

If you want to renew on the same passport that means the passport has less than 3 years validity.... I will suggest you use the same passport and also about arranging N64K we can start a gofundme account.. grin grin grin

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by grammy010: 11:18am On Mar 21, 2018
Hello fam

Please I was supposed to attend a training that is holding in April 18th, and I have paid for the training and the visa fee. But my challenge now is that, after filling and submitting my DS 160, I realized the earliest appointment date available is April 30th. So I have decided to attend the next training holding in August.

So my question is can I fill a fresh DS 160 form since I have not booked any appointment with the old one or would I need to edit the submitted one and if yes, pls how do I go about editing a submitted DS 160?

Thank you

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by seyewest(m): 11:32am On Mar 21, 2018
I keep hearing about increment of visa which may be true or not but I can tell you something that we (Nigerians) like peddling rumors.
Increasing visa fees means there's increase in the rate of $1 to Naira which we all know is stable for a while now so that means U.S Embassy will not increase visa fees because of exchange rate.
Most people do not know that U.S Embassy review visa fees periodically with expiry date which is a good thing so reduction and increase of the fees do not come as shock to applicant. The expiry date is 26th March, 2016.
U.S Embassy may decrease the visa fee instead of increasing it due to stable exchange rate.

I also heard this but what if it's about adding a reciprocity fee, since Nigeria government charges more than $160 from american citizen for visa fee, what if it's not about the exchange rate but a reciprocity fee so as to balance it?

Given that a thought already though but doubt loads, especially (given the greed and sometimes dullness of our government/policy handlers to make little in the now and not weigh what the other party may even make in excess), the difference is massive. The closest to this much touted figure is the fee for a K1 visa standing at $265 (106k) or so. This would have gained much traction and publicity by now from even pseudo-official quarters were it true. The $10 increase coming soon on obtaining a US Passport has been everywhere the past couple of weeks....

Broda, that visa to hard you get, walahi! The bad part is that many in your situation that have passed through this thread throwing tantrums and abuses when told this "truth" as it were, promising to come back with their "testimony", never came back here to rub it in our faces....

I know they can't increase the consular exchange rate, even the #400- $1 is extortion, all I've been thinking is the reciprocity fee but then again I realized that the visa fee isn't fixed. If the category of applicants who pay $160 gets affected, will the applicants on K1 who pays $265 also get affected, I doubt not.

What you typed here is the gospel truth, we would surely see what happens on the expiry date of the current visa fee payment
