For the last fiscal year 2018, a total of 143,783 non-immigrant US visas were issued to Nigerians. In the 2017 fiscal year, the figure was 168,980.

In 2016, a total of 179, 145 Nigerians were granted different categories of non-immigrant visas to the US.

When compared to the figures released for the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, the data reveal visa denials for Nigerians surged in 2018.

Data for 2019 has not been published but there have been lamentations from many Nigerians about high rejection rate since the beginning of the year.

With a 57.47% adjusted refusal rate, Nigeria was also listed among top countries like Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Burundi, Burkina Faso etc., with high refusal rate for B-visas. B visas are issued for short-term business or pleasure travel to the United States.

Despite the surge in visa denials for Nigerians, the country still accounts for the highest percentage of visas issued to African nationals in the past three years.

For the 2018 fiscal year, nationals of African countries got a total of 493,989 non-immigrant visas out of which 143, 783 were Nigerians.

Last year, a total of 9,028,026 persons were granted the non-immigrant visas by the US. Contrary to the claim that Nigeria is the biggest beneficiary of the US non-immigrant visa, Nigerians only account for just 1.6 per cent of the total figure of those granted the non-immigrant visas in the last fiscal year.

With 16.2%, China takes the largest chunk of the total figure with 1,464,810 citizens granted different categories of non-immigrant visas in 2018. The Asian giant was followed by Mexico (1,372,420), India (1,006,802), Brazil (641,820) and Argentina (341,282).

Others are Philippines (238,684), Colombia (235,410), Israel (186,461), Ecuador (164,651) and followed by Nigeria (143,783).

Cox I know you as a stalker in travel section.

I have been to about 6 Redeem Church Parishes here in Indianapolis to meet up with my clients and close deals and the multitude of Nigerians I see in those Parishes makes me wonder if there is anyone left in Nigeria. This is just Indiana o, Imagine the number of Nigerians you will see in Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Dallas and Maryland YOU GO FEAR!

But they are now wiser; any Nigerian that pays for U.S Visa fee in 2019 is like throwing money into the Ocean.

they should tell nigerians to fix their country

americans didnt run away from their problems but stood and fixed it

the day we stop looking at ourselves as igbo yourba hausa or the remaining 300 tribes

Nigeria would move forward

I heard of a man who got denied for the weirdest reason.

The guy is married and wanted visa to the US for 15 days to attend some conferences.

They asked oga who will take cars of his family if he's away, oga said "my wife is a banker, she can take care of things while I'm away".

Na why them deny the guy be that.

Commendable!!! Maybe when every country denies us Visa we would start focusing on our country more and work together for her betterment

You deny an applicant a visa without refunding his money back.And the applicant reapply and the same issue happens.That is dubious.

And you hardly see Nigerians applying for China.

Yet they are quick to support china whenever that trade war topic is brought to the fp.

Bunch of hypocrites...

America is bad, bully spyware, meddler...

China is taking over bla bla bla.. But they won't go to China and leave America alone.

Funny thing is that the embassy don't refuse visa on politicians and their children.

You're right but very sad.

magicminister:



Shut up

The politicians and the elites that have continuously destroyed this country are never denied visas. They empower us to kill ourselves while they send their wards abroad. They get malaria they fly abroad but not a single functional WORLD STANDARD PUBLIC hospital in NIGERIA. Please just keep quiet... the people that’s gonna bear the brunt of any unfavorable immigration policy are the masses.

Don't go and die o

The u.s make a lot of money from denying Nigerians visa because they know they will re-apply for another one.
