Hello guys, Happy new month...
Welcome to February the month of love
Lol those that has no plans for valentine say hi...
So today we'll be talking about Nigeria's travel agency. It's good news for those planning to leave the country, I mean who isn't planning to run away from this country.
The United States Embassy in Nigeria on Tuesday (Yesterday) said that it plans to expand it's services to assist non-immigrant visa applicants.
Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday at the US Consulate in Lagos, the US Mission Country Consular Coordinator, Susan Tuller, noted that the project was no-interview visa renewals.
Tuller stated that it would be limited initially and applied only to applicants for academic exchange, work, study and tourist visas seeking renewal.
According to reports, every applicant eligible must have a visa that has expired within the last 24 months or that will expire in the next 3 months from the date of application.
She also stated, "This is not the non-immigrant visa interview waiver process known as the ‘dropbox’ that has been used for years, this is a new process entirely. The new application procedure will begin in February at the U.S. Consulate in Lagos and will be extended shortly thereafter to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja. The number of qualified applicants who can apply using the new procedures will be limited initially. Applicants who meet the criteria may apply in Lagos until the service is extended to Abuja."
Incase your wondering what are the requirements to make yourself eligible for this process, I've listed them out here;
Your previous visa that was issued in Nigeria;
Your previous visa is in the same classification as your current application;
Your previous visa was a full validity, multiple entry visa;
Your previous visa expired within the last 24 months or will expire in the next 3 months from the date of application;
You have all your passports covering the entire period since receiving the previous visa and the passport with the most recent visa;
You have never been arrested or convicted of any crime or offense in the United States, even if you later received a waiver or pardon;
You have never worked without authorization or remained beyond your permitted time in the United States.
If you meet this requirements, then you can start processing your visa renewal, using this link: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng
Sometime ago, precisely March 2019, the embassy suspended the interview waivers for visa renewal because of the fraud and most of the applicants overstayed the amount of time given to them. Lol you can trust Nigerians for that one.
Due to that, it became mandatory that applicants appear in person after applying online at the US embassy in Abuja or Lagos, where they will submit their applications for nonimmigration visas.
Now they've given us another chance, hopefully we don't take it for granted and go and cause wahala (meaning trouble) for them.
Anyway that's all for today, leave a like and subscribe for more information. Feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comment section below.
