The United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria has issued a new visa directive for immigrant visa applicants in the country, effective from January 1, 2025.

The Mission, in the directive posted on its social media page, said for applicants with interviews scheduled after January 1, 2025, they 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.

“Kindly note that this information is specific to immigrant visa applicants only,” the United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria said.

The Mission further said the first visit is for an In-Person Document Review with a consular staff member to ensure the applicant is prepared for visa interview.

“This mandatory review will give you an opportunity to retrieve any missing documents ahead of your visa interview to avoid delays in processing your application.

“You do not need to schedule an appointment for the In-Person Document Review. The Consular Section will notify you via email of the document review appointment date, which will be approximately two to four weeks ahead of your visa interview,” the Mission stated.

The second visit, which is for visa interview with a Consular Officer, according to the Mission, will occur on the date and time scheduled for the applicant by the National Visa Centre (NVC).

“If you do not complete In-Person Document Review before your visa interview, you will be required to reschedule your appointment,” the Mission further said.
