US: Why We Revoked Visas Of Nigerians Travelling To America by realitychick: 8:05am On Jun 09, 2018
Nigerian travelers welcome in the US but must be law-abiding.
Among the number of reasons the United States Government had revoked the visas of some Nigerians traveling to the US might have been because of overstaying the period of admission, applying for asylum in another country, and working without proper authorisation.


This was indicated in an email correspondence THISDAY had with the US Embassy in Nigeria during the week.

According to the American embassy’s spokesman, Russell Brooks, a visa already granted to a Nigerian traveler can be revoked if there were reasons to do so.


“With regard to our general policy, the Department of State does review visa issuances when information comes to light that results in a finding that the individual no longer qualifies for the visa and based on that information, the visa will be revoked. There are a number of reasons for a visa revocation including overstaying the period of admission, applying for asylum in another country, and working without proper authorisation. If a visa is revoked, the US Mission will attempt to notify the individual but there is no obligation to inform the individual as to why the visa was revoked,” Brooks said.

He, however, stated that individuals whose visas were revoked might re-apply if they desired to do so and their application would be considered again for eligibility to enter into the US.

Though the embassy official refused to disclose the reasons some Nigerians’ US visas were revoked recently, he said Nigerian travelers with legitimate reasons to travel and had not flouted the American laws on previous visits were always welcome to the country.

“Visa decisions are based on individual qualifications and the cases are considered confidential. Nigerian travelers are welcome in the United States. The fact that the consular sections in Lagos and Abuja are the busiest on the continent and rank among the busiest in the world speaks to the closeness of the relationship between our two countries and the fondness that Nigerians have for the United States.

“Nigerians who wish to travel to the United States for legitimate purposes, such as tourism or education, who have every intention of returning to their home country, and have abided by U.S. law on prior visits have nothing to fear,” Brooks stated.

If you have a good genuine reason and all things looking good, more often than not, you won't be denied and things will definitely go good and fine in your ways over there.

There is an explosion in the number of visa applicats to the us so nobody is safe, from those applying at the embassy to those at the port of entry to those renewing via Dropbox the scrutiny is crazy now.

This is because 90% of applicants are planning to overstay their visa.

The simple truth is that they dont want people that will over stay in the country, rather wants those that will ' come, see and go back to their respective home'

As in all die n.a. die.

I will die in this naija.

Why scrutinise myself for second class citizenship. I have never been denied visa whenever I travelled cos I feel they are psychologically trained to notice who wants to run..
