Listen to Dr Olu asekun podcast of Wed on YouTube. He mentioned the update about H1 and H4 visas being rescheduled so you want to consider your travel plans if appointment would be changed.
First 20mins or so is where he typically shares new updates for this administration.
He's an immigration lawyer

Depends on cargo service rate per pound which differs per provider and shipping me.thod.
Air freight is quite expensive.

It's only worth it if your send a number of items.

Else you use FedEx or DHL it's a small item.

I don't know that GIG does international greight

I only heard about India and china and those are high volume embassies. Just wondering what the situation is in Nigeria as we rarely get up to 80 H1B and h4 approval every month

Try reaching out to Lagos consulate via email.
As if your appointment would be rescheduled because you are flying in specifically with your appointment date in mind.
It doesn't hurt to try

It actually Abuja and I sent an email to ConsularAbuja@state.gov but got an auto response. It says to use Abuja visa navigator but I can see the option to check if rescheduling might be happening. I wish I could find someone going soon or have gone recently.

Doesn't abuja have its own email like lagosiv and lagossniv ?

Or post this question on the US visa thread in case an other H1 visa applicant has interviewed recently

I can’t find another email aside this one.

Are you referring to the US Visit Visa thread? Or there is another one called US Visa?

Is there anyone who has gone for H1B stamping recently or have a visa appointment between now and 31st of December?

Please o, does anyone have any idea if this ban will also affect Nigerian permanent residents in Canada? cry

Getting a US visa as a Canadian PR from Nigeria used to be easy, but now idk again

Yes. It should affect it since a Nigerian with Canadian PR usually needs a valid visa to visit the US.

You would only be able to travel to the US if you already have a US visa dated and valid before Jan 1 2026
Re: Living In The USA - Life Of An Immigrant Part 1 by Okunrimeta: 10:23pm On Dec 26, 2025
Why not just wait till you get your CA passport, then travel to US without the need for a visa? Instead of all the hassle...just saying.

Oya let me park here. I think we need a thread on the USA.
Well I can create a USA community on Japahub, the social media for all things Africans abroad and migration relocation etc.

I'm the developer building it and I really need feedback from the community 🥹

I am a Nigerian coming to Chicago soon. I need an affordable shared apartment around Hyde Park or university of Chicago. I don't want to be stranded. I'm a student too. Can you help me with a recommendation? Thanks

Check if your university has a Facebook page, students like you would be there. You can ask about accommodation options there.

Secondly reach out to student affairs or international students groups by checking on the school website. You might get recommendations there too
