United States Embassy in Nigeria has reviewed its immigration visa processes for immigrants and reviewed processes will begin from January 1, 2025.

A directive which was announced on its official X page on Tuesday, the embassy says applicants with interviews will now visit the Consulate General in Lagos at least twice during the process.

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.

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

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.

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

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