The United States embassy in
Nigeria has suspended drop box service or interview waiver for those renewing
visas in the country.
In a statement on Tuesday, the world power said the interview waiver suspension will take
effect from Tuesday, May 14, 2019.
“The Embassy and Consulate of the
United States in Nigeria has suspended the interview waiver ‘Drop Box’ application
process effective May 14, 2019,” the statement read.
This means those attempting to
renew their visas must now attend visa interviews like first timers.
Prior to the policy change, it
was possible for Nigerians who were renewing their existing or expired visa to
apply for a renewal online, via the visa drop box service.

documents to the US visa service centre in the country, and receiving your visa
outcome and passport without physical interview.
This service is no longer
