US MISSION ON VISA APPLICATION
The U.S. Mission in Nigeria says it will increase visitor visa validity from 24 months to 60 months for Nigerians who want to enter the United States temporarily for business and/or tourism.
The visa validity extension allows Nigerians to use the visa for 60 months to make short trips to the United States for tourism or business purposes before having to renew their visas. The visa application fee, currently USD160, will not increase as a result of the increased visa validity.
Increasing visa validity is one of several initiatives taken by the United States to reduce visa appointment wait times in Nigeria.
The U.S. Mission says it will continues to offer No-Interview Visa Renewals to those who meet the eligibility criteria, adding that the U. S mission also says Appointments for No-Interview Visa Renewals are readily available.
The eligibility criteria for visa interviews include is the applicant is
physically present in Nigeria,
If previous visa was issued in Nigeria, if the
previous visa is in the same classification as the current application, among others.
