The US says it will be expanding operations to increase visa issuance for Nigerian students.
The US mission announced a visa surge for Nigerian students
to commence on November 24.
It said a special procedure has been put in place for those
who need to renew student visas to continue their course of study.
It also said that a series of dedicated interview days have been set aside for prospective new students.
The mission said students may be eligible for a priority
student visa interview slot if they are prospective students seeking an F1 visa
appointment and have not been refused an F1 visa in the past six months.
Abuja surge days, it said, will be on December 8, December
15, and January 12 on a first-come, first-served basis.
In turn, Lagos student visa surge days were set for November
24, December 8, and December 15.
For those already studying in the US, the mission said they
may be eligible for a special application procedure.
“To qualify for this procedure, you must be renewing a
student visa that is still valid or has expired within the past 24 months and
are renewing your visa either to: (a) continue participation in the same major
course of study even if at a different institution; or (b) attend the same
institution even if in a different major course of study,” it added.
