US Embassy Issues New Directive For Nigerian Visa Applicants by AmazingGenius: 9:41am On Dec 11, 2024
The United States Embassy in Nigeria has reviewed its immigration visa processes for immigrants starting from January 1, 2025.

According to the embassy, applicants with interviews will now visit the Consulate General in Lagos at least twice during the process.

The directive was announced on its official X page on Tuesday.

It read, “For applicants with interviews scheduled after January 1, 2025, you are required to visit the Consulate General in Lagos at least twice during the immigrant visa process.

“This new process is designed to help you prepare for your visa interview and to prevent significant delays in processing your immigrant visa.”

Further checks on the embassy’s website revealed that the first visit to the US Consulate in Lagos would be for an ‘In-Person Document Review’ with a consular staff member, adding, “This review ensures that applicants are prepared for their visa interviews.

It continued, “The review allows applicants to retrieve any missing documents ahead of their visa interviews, helping to avoid delays in application processing.

“The second interview, on the other hand, is with a Consular Officer. The date for this interview will be scheduled for applicants by the National Visa Center (NVC).

“If you do not complete the In-Person Document Review before your visa interview, you will be required to reschedule your appointment.”

On July 2024, The PUNCH reports that the embassy announced its operation in its Abuja and Lagos consulates will be handled by a new visa services provider, starting August 26, 2024.

The decision was announced on the official website and verified social media pages of the American embassy.

These people are making millions of dollars from 3rd world African countries yearly. All because of bad leadership of these countries.

Africa truly needs to be recolonised.

Anyone who has hustle legitimately and made millions in Nigeria shouldn't bother throwing his or her legit hustle away in exchange for a mirage or imaginary better life abroad. The time and energy it will take to settle abroad, and later work in odd places doing terrible jobs only to spend every earning on endless bills can not be quantified. If you have something small doing in 9ja, abeg stay put and enjoy life, abroad is shit especially when you get there like pastor gboyega and over stay trying to regularise your document, na sorry be your name.

Nothing can take me to both American embassy and consulate in Nigeria. Those two are just legal scam offices as they only issue just 1% of Nigerian applicants their visas. They are really cashing out from this country. That's why they have the guts to build their world's biggest scam office in Lagos.
