The United States mission has announced changes to its visa
interview requirements for Nigerian travellers.
The updates were announced in a statement on Friday.
Effective April 22, visa applicants in Abuja and Lagos must
take along a DS-160 visa application form with a confirmation/barcode number
that begins with “AA” followed by two zeroes.
The US mission said the code must match the one used to
schedule their appointment online.
Failure to verify the alignment will result in denial of
entry into the consular section or the visa interview, the mission warned.
“At least two weeks before your interview, please
double-check that the barcode number on your DS-160 form matches the one you
used to schedule your appointment,” the mission added.
“You cannot reuse a DS-160 from a previous application.
“If your DS-160 barcode is incorrect, you must log into your
AVITS account at least 10 days before
your appointment to create a support ticket requesting correction of your
barcode number.”
The US mission also advised applicants to ensure that their
appointment is made at the location chosen during the DS-160 application
process.
The revisions are part of the efforts of the consulate to
ensure a smoother “visa processing”.
Starting January 1,
all visa applicants were mandated to visit the Consulate General in
Lagos twice as part of the application process.
