The United States Embassy has advised visa applicants with interviews set for after January 1, 2025, to make at least two visits to the Consulate General in Lagos as part of their immigration visa process.
This directive was shared in a post on the embassy’s X
(formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday.
It stated: “For applicants with interviews scheduled after
January 1, 2025, you 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.”
According to the embassy, the first visit will involve an
“In-Person Document Review” with a consular officer.
“This review ensures that applicants are prepared for their
visa interviews. The review allows applicants to retrieve any missing documents
ahead of their visa interviews, helping to avoid delays in application
processing,” the embassy clarified.
The second visit will be an interview with a Consular
Officer, with the date scheduled by the National Visa Center (NVC).
“If you do not complete the In-Person Document Review before
your visa interview, you will need to reschedule your appointment.”
The embassy emphasized that the changes are aimed at
enhancing efficiency and reducing delays caused by incomplete documentation.
