The United States Embassy in Nigeria says it has reviewed its immigration visa processes, starting from January 1, 2025.
According to the new processes, visa applicants scheduled for interview will now visit the Consulate General in Lagos at least twice during the process.
The directive was announced on the embassy’s official X page on Tuesday.
It reads, “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.
“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.”
Recall that, on July 2024, the embassy announced that 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 also on the verified social media pages of the American embassy.
