The United States embassy in Nigeria has suspended the visa interview waiver for those renewing visas in the country.
According to a statement released by the embassy on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, the drop box application process has been suspended effective immediately.
Before the suspension, Nigerian holders of US visa types B1/B2, F, H, and L could renew their visas online by posting their documents to the US visa service centre and receiving the renewed version through one of several drop box locations across Nigeria without attending physical interviews.
With the suspension, such people will now have to visit the embassy in Abuja or consulate in Lagos for in-person interviews.
