Other US Visa Categories Restricted by Gray123: 4:25am On Sep 21, 2020
The latest round of sanctions could see Nigerians hit with even tighter restrictions and greater scrutiny on US B1 business visit visas, B2 holiday visit visas, L1 intra-company transfer visas, H1B specialty occupation visas, E2 Treaty Investor visas, E1 Treaty Trader visas and other types of US visa.
However, Trump’s continued ‘targeting’ of Nigerians has drawn criticism, with many arguing that it’s causing fear and generating fake news. Nigeria has become a target of Trump visa restrictions mainly because Nigerians have a high US visa overstay rate.
Under the Trump administration, thousands of Nigerians have reported that access to US visas is harder than ever. Many claim that their US visa applications are often rejected, which dissuades them from applying again… at least until Trump is no longer President.
The latest visa restrictions on Nigerians come as huge blow, given that back in February US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said he was ‘optimistic’ that the US could lift existing restrictions imposed on the African nation. However, the latest State Department announcement has seemingly quashed hope that restrictions will be lifted any time soon.

I doubt if this report is appropriate, most likely misleading.

The Meeting held on September 17th, 2020 on the status of Nigeria regularizing the exceptions noted against her which was the bases on the Ban placement, return very good and exceptionally impressing. The US Consular to Nigeria, the Ambassadors and the monitoring bodies were even optimistic that the Ban on Nigeria is most likely to be lifted earlier than envisaged.

However nothing much can be said until after 31st December 2020, when the Presidential proclamation on COVID-19 recovery plans will be lifted on Immigrant. Except otherwise he losses the November Election. Then his various proclamations will be revisited and re-addressed accordingly.
