It's a welcome development, it will reduce the number of potential Yahoo-boys that will come here to soil our already battered reputation for the few of us that are working hard here

RTSC:

It seems trump don't even value Nigerians regardless of status.

Ghana is not visa free

How long did it take for your renewal?

Amuocha:
Useless embassy

Hahaha, useless embassy ke, America is the greatest country on earth, the whole world cannot ignore the US, don't blame them, Africa should fix their respective countries, hold their thieving politicians responsible for the chaos, ineptitude, corruption, senseless killings, injustice that cuts across the continent

Nukilia:
Nigerians don suffer for dis oyinbo people hand Chai!

Na Nigerians dey fall our own hands... nobody is supposed to "make things easy for us". Did you know Koreans and Japanese can visit USA visa-free for 90 days? This happened due to their own hard work to build their economy. It's like we want to eat yam from our backyard but don't want to plant and weed the farm.

ITGTRAVELS:
The Embassy consulate of the United States in Nigeria has suspended the interview waiver popularly known as DROP BOX application process effective MAY 14 2019.

All applicants are required to schedule regular appointment until further notice...

We need to also be strict in our immigration laws for Americans.

We need them, they don't need us.

When they see any of us they need, they take that person, e.g I had a girl in my secondary School that was very good at basketball, they gave her 100 percent scholarship to come school in the US and play collage basketball, just like that, she didn't have any issues or so.

If only Nigerians can manage and not apply to that embassy for a year, they will come begging and trying to lure us with fake opportunities. Those guys are making serious money from applications sent to them. Usa embassy is a scam!!

hate it or like it

America is the worjd greatest country


At least for now

so it's theur time to do shakara

Iblad0994:
Lol. By the time Trump finishes with Africa, only 1% of applicants will be allowed in.

Based on this policy now, they will start denying people renewing their visas also. Every country just dey try extort naija sha. I know that things will be better one day, either in our generation or the next.

Who we even offend self. We youth that should salvage the situation are busy chanting Afonja and Igbo online.

Hahaha! This one got me!! Well... I feel the frustration too.

This is the reason for the suspension of interview waivers for visa renewals in Nigeria.

According to data provided by U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs, Nigeria alone accounted for 132,137 (or over 25 percent) of non-immigrant visas issued to Africans in 2018. Nigeria also came third, behind Brazil and Venezuela, for countries with a record of visa overstays in 2018.
http://www.financialnigeria.com/u-s-suspends-interview-waivers-for-visa-renewals-in-nigeria-news-1835.html

And it is a follow-up to this article in the Wall Street Journal:

President Trump and his top aides are weighing rules designed to clamp down on countries whose nationals overstay short-term visitor visas as part of a broader push for new ways to curb immigration.

The effort would target nationals of countries with high overstay rates of such visas, which include the African nations of Nigeria, Chad, Eritrea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to Department of Homeland Security data.

To show the country is doomed even Nigerians rejoice for the news especially people that has crossed over to USA they are more happy and praying more Nigerians are denied forgetting that this is just the beginning next level is sure

Una will be forced to develop this shithole country and overthrow those wild animals in your senate when you can't keep escaping to other countries like cowards

stevedre:


You may be right but are they more than the mexicans or Easter Europeans who do the same? The global reputation of Nigeria as a country is messed up, all thanks to the leaders Past and present.

And people. You think they can't access this same Nairaland and Instablog to see some lazy youth defending yahoo boys with their lives?

Truest:
the day every country decides to ban all Nigerians & striping d existing ones citizenship status & send them back to naija & let us suffer our backwardness & mediocre life together I tell u all dat will be d beginning of Nigeria total turnaround. our evil politicians will sit their ass down & make d jungle country a better sane country inhabitable by normal human beings

That's the day I'm patiently waiting for

JubrinElSudan:
Does it mean that for someone who's abroad with few months to the expiration of his visa, the person will have to come back to Nigeria and be interviewed for renewal?

You’re most likely one of the reasons they cancelled this. It is against the law to renew a non-immigrant visa while physically present in the US. You’ve been abusing the Dropbox for years.

magicminister:
Majority of the commenters on this issue are simply daft!!
You guys can’t see that this is another Racist policy from the Trump admin geared towards making it harder for people from black countries to visit the United state.

Ghana was also banned!!
I haven’t checked for other black African countries.


This policy target only black countries even though we have the smallest number of visa defaulters in the states when compared to the likes of Canada, China, Vietnam and most other non-black countries...

Canadians do not require a visa to enter the United States. I think it’s clear your comment is borne out of ignorance.

If you're not happy, fix your own fvcking country. The sane Nigerians that managed to flee the insane society and 5hithole still value their adopted land despite the challenges of racism or what not! I'll tell you this, to fix Nigeria, a lot of blood must be shed....and it must be fixed by force because we are talking about a people that decided to miss the bus of evolution! Always blaming the oyinbo people. Oyinbo people just delivered you from malaria by coming up with a vaccination that has killed your people for centuries....oyinbo delivered you once again...shvt up and be grateful and hvmble....monkey!

Are you serious? This is what your forefathers have been saying....This is part of the lazy and wishful thinking that has plagued your people and apparently it seems to be in your DNA! Where is the evidence or signs of your assertions/hope that things will get better? this is laughable at best....

Maxcollins042:
Beautiful. This is a very laudable move. Only if other countries that Nigeria and Africa as a whole see as safe heaven will toughen their immigration policies, those in diaspora and those aspiring to emigrate will sit back and fight for the development of their countries.

To clean up Nigeria requires a form of fundamental cleansing....cultural and otherwise. I'm just saying....where do you even start? LOL...goodluck!!!! There is a higher chance that place will implode than get better.

Mizwisdom:



The fact that this shithole stuff was coined by a white racist, makes you come across as simple minded. Pls I don't mean any insult, it just makes you look unintelligent

you sound more unintelligent because you lack the ability to tell yourself the bitter truth. A 5hithole aptly describes the black african continent! Never mind the messenger, focus on the message! The world has become more of a global village and black Africa's backwardness is there for all to see!!!

God bless you. You make the most sense here. Trump is a racist and his policy is MAWA which means Make America White Again. Here in America, the White Nationalists calls it Browning of America and that's why they want to limit people of color travelling to America. Next move for the Racist Trump is finding a way to stop the Visa Lottery Program.

Nigeria has been ineligible for the visa lottery program long before trump. This isn’t about racism, it’s about a country seeking to protect itself from a people incapable of running a functioning country who want to overrun theirs.
