The US Embassy in Nigeria has interviewed over 150,000 people this year, including 30,000 students, according to the Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Nigeria, Mr David Greene.
Greene made the statement during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
He said that the Embassy has made a great progress in reducing the backlog of visa applications that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have made great progress though. In March we instituted a five-year term for visas to the US,” he added.
Greene also urged persons desiring to travel to the US 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 US, can get them,” he said.
