Mr. David Greene, the Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, has disclosed that they have conducted interviews with over 150,000 Nigerians. He also noted that approximately 30,000 student interviews have taken place this year.
He made this statement during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja. He said, “What folks do not know is that this year we have interviewed more than 150,000 people.
“This is in addition to 30,000 students. Hundreds of thousands of students have had the opportunity to seek visas from the U.S. We are doing the best we can to get proper ways for all the categories after having an enormous backlog as a result of COVID-19, and all that.”
“We have made great progress though. In March we instituted a five-year term for visas to the U.S.,” he added.
He urged persons desiring to travel to the U.S. to apply early and ensure that the visa requests are 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 that need a warrant visa to the U.S., can get them,” he said. (NAN)
