A copy of the press release claiming to be from the US
Citizenship and Immigration Services says those eligible for the work visa are
health workers, engineers, marine workers, accountants etc.
The press release partly read, “President Joe Biden, the 46
US. President has signed an Executive Order that interested citizens of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria who measure in some special professions are
eligible for American Work E-Visa and Residence Permit. This was communicated
to the Nigeria US Department of immigration.
“The terms of the Executive Order allows 25,000 citizens of
the Republic of Nigeria between the age of 40 to 55 whose area of expertise are
among the following: Health workers, engineers, marine workers, accountants…”
It added that “applicants and children who have been
vaccinated must make a pre-visa vaccination deposit of $150 per person which is
required as a condition for visa approval.”
Applicants are also required to make a deposit of $250 for
English proficiency test.
Reacting to the press release, the US Embassy described it
as a scam and warned people not to fall victim to it.
“Fraud Alert! Scammers and fraudsters are circulating a fake
“press release” claiming to offer a new type of work visa to Nigerian citizens
aged 40-55. It’s the same old scam, but in fresh packaging – don’t become a
victim!” the US Embassy tweeted.
