180,000 Nigerians have undergone interviews for US Visa since January 2023

The United States (US) Embassy in Nigeria says it has interviewed over 150,000 Nigerians since January this year for the US Visa.

Also, 30,000 Nigerian students were interviewed for a visa during the period for the visa.

The embassy charge D’affairs, David Greene, who made this known, said the demand for the US visa outnumbers the available visa.

Greene asks those seeking the US visa to apply earlier, and to ensure they are tied to events.

Last March, the embassy introduced a five-year term for visas to the US.

This is in addition to 30,000 students. Hundreds of thousands of students have had the opportunity to seek visas from the U.S.

He urged persons desiring to travel to the U.S. to apply early and ensure that the visa requests were tied to events.

“Folks that are seeking visas should apply early, make sure that the plan is for an event as they can.

“This is because we do acknowledge that there is a backlog and we will do what we can to make sure people who need a warrant visa to the U.S. can get them,” he said.
