justwise:Its even funny that the bloggers are creating awareness ignorantly when we should be demanding good economic policies from our own government. If they decide to start charging $210 because of the pressure the exchange rate brought, it will be the US embassy's gain and our own loss. |

femi321: Bloggers are looking for traffic so don't pay attention to them. Some Nigerians always fight for the right they don't have. Let's just hope that the American embassy stick to the current visa fees because if they decided to charge $210 there is nothing anyone can do |

femi321: He who gets it get it... i cant say more . What has $210 got to do with anything. The fact that there is Reciprocity doesnt mean if they are charging $210 it has to be an exact match..... The fee is $160 period (they charge most countries a standard of $160 anyway not just Nigerians ) and within the laws of a land how can they charge an exchange rate more than the market rate . $160 is the standard while the other countries charge more or less in exchange. Using examples In Pakistan a US citizen pay $192 in exchange the Pakistani pays $160... Republic of Congo is a whole $299 for US citizens while its $160 for their US visa fees........so many countries are structured at $160 in exchange for higher or lower . In Cambodia US pay $35 their citizens pay $160 to go to US. Jordan it is $56 why their people pay $160...Russia is $193 in exchange to $160 ... Algeria its an exact match $160 both ways Visa fees exchange doesnt have to be an exact match . As a british citizen i have to pay ESTA fees to visit the US but US citizens are not charged to enter the UK . .... .it is 14 usd for ESTA and that usd /gbp rate is definitely within the market value . It cannot be charged at a rate above the market value that again is the basis of this conversation 21 Likes 1 Share |

Hey guys what happens when there is a wrong date of birth on i20. Just one digit though 05 instead of 08. Should a new i20 be requested or a mail from the school would be sufficient? |

It's Funny how justwise chickened out from the main issue and diverted to the $210 reciprocity law when the main point being discussed is the exchange rate. If I am to score his analytical skills, I'll give him 1/10 because he went totally off point. Lagosismyhome really get time like walspring said. I'm sure the smart ones can read between the line. I dropped a comment about the issue yesterday and someone deleted it so I gave up on the issue because deleting such valid point tells a lot already. 9 Likes |

PrinceDekunle:1) Its not your place to rate his analytical skills because he disagreed with your opinion 2) This forum is not to come and show people how best you can analyse issues bla bla, If there is an issue and people argue back and forth, At a point there will be compromise and if there isnt, then let it rest.3) If we argue about this from now till next year, It wont solve anything neither will it reduce the cost of visa. 5 Likes |

djmakson: My dear it is not take it or leave it .... The US Embassy is not doing anyone a favour. The benefit is mutual, they gain a lot in tourism, students been there, skills and man power. Same way my employer is not doing me a favour. We are both benefiting as my skill set is needed on the project while it helps my bank balance. Nigeria has a lot of foreigners as well. No Country is an island ,UK will soon find out hard with brexit. Nursing applications is down , house prices now on a free fall. ...let them continue , na them go dey beg people to come. Watch this space..... same way with Thrump gra gra,their tourism industry go hear am....Tourism helps their economy 6 Likes |

I don't get how people defend this 400/$ because the fee is $160. So tomorrow they should tell us the exchange rate is now 1000/$ because we are paying lesser amount of $160, that time you people will sit up. If the embassy sets it at $160, they have their reason and I bet you they are still gaining. Other countries that is getting it at $160, is the exchange rate higher than normal rate? Even you can't compare the number of people who pay US visa fees (visiting, Sevis, settlement etc). The difference covers up the fee margin and more. (My opinion). We want normal or lesser exchange rate abeg. US doesn't have fx issues like us. Their currency is stronger. From 197 to 360 in 2 years, but theirs is stable. We have had it hard enough. NB: If you give me something at a cheaper price and use style to collect more, you are no longer being fair to me. I will still feel cheated. Yea I know its the officials and Banks setting the rate, why are you guys supporting a higher rate? The rate of naira depreciation is appalling and embarrassing and its sad to see people giving excuse for 400 to a dollar. LagosismyHome: 7 Likes |

OGreene: Imagine the fee on SEVIS $200 alone.... that is enough self so lets not talk of $160....$ 360 na kwa compared to $210 F1 visa is actually $360 of two payments and not $160 3 Likes 1 Share |

I dey tell you!!! That sevis alone ehhh..both far and wide go there to study. Those people are on the gaining side, they know. Which is actually a good thing for a country, they have built their country so they should enjoy the gains. But 400/$ higher than normal rate.. lie lie. If we accept this 400, those cabals will move it higher again. That is how it starts. Na today? LagosismyHome: |

We can start by writing petitions and asking people to go vote against it. I've seen something like that but I don't know how it's done. Please if anyone has an idea, let's get this ball rolling! LagosismyHome: 1 Like |

femi321: No one twisted the whole point because the main argument was all about exchange rate and not visa fee but some people here are talking about visa fee I believe they don't even read those posts at all which is not the main event. Am even surprise to see some people here accepting the fact that the exchange rate used is acceptable when it is above official ate and BDC rate because they forgot the bilateral deal or agreement between the two countries and I don't think the deal stated one country can use rate above official and BDC rate during conversion to their currency. 2 Likes 1 Share |
