U.S. extends Tourist Visa validity for Nigerians to 5 years

On No-Interview Visa Renewal, it said:

You are physically present in Nigeria;

If you are qualified based on the above criteria, visit https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng to start
your application.

Please note that processing times for the program are expected to be up to two months and
you will not be able to retrieve your passport during that time.

Each applicant must individually meet the criteria; minors can apply without an interview only if
they meet the eligibility criteria on their own.

On Emergency Appointments, it said: If you have a life-or-death emergency, you may request an expedited, in-person interview;

However, to accommodate No-Interview Visa Renewals, appointments will be very limited.

Business travel, conferences, weddings, and graduations are not considered emergencies.

If you have an emergency and need to travel immediately, please follow the guidance provided at
https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng or 234-1-227-8955 to request an emergency appointment.

The Mission alerted that third parties unaffiliated with U.S. Embassy Abuja and Consulate General Lagos
might seek to take advantage of various visa services to target visa applicants with fraudulent
offers or claims.

It advised applicants to fill out their own forms and make their appointments themselves via the
official websites.

As future opportunities for Interview Waiver appointments become available, they will be
communicated via our website.

Remember to rely on information only from genuine sources: https://travel.state.gov,
https://ng.usembassy.gov/visas/, and https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng.

Avoid becoming the victim of a scam!, the U.S. Mission advised. (NAN) www.nannews.ng
