US Embassy Extends Visa Fee Validity To 2023

The United States (US) Mission in Nigeria has extended visa fee validity to September 2023, to accommodate applicants facing difficulty in booking appointment for non-immigrant visa.

 

The decision was taken to address the difficulties in getting appointing dates which some applicants have been facing in the last few months.

 

The US Mission also said that it is working diligently to restore routine consular services that were suspended in the last two years.

 

The statement read;

 

“The United States Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria understand that many visa applicants have paid the visa application processing fee and are still waiting to schedule a visa appointment.

“We are working diligently to restore all routine visa operations as quickly and safely as possible. In the meantime, rest assured that the US Mission will extend the validity of your payment (known as MRV fee) until September 30, 2023, to allow all applicants who were unable to schedule a visa appointment as a result of the suspension of routine consular operations an opportunity to schedule and/attend a visa appointment with the already paid fee.”
