Nigerian Students Can Renew US Visa Without Interview – Embassy

 


It was recently announced that no-interview US visa renewals will be granted for eligible learners to continue their studies.


This is limited to students who are already pursuing their education at a university in the US and will be physically present in Nigeria over the summer.

“If you are currently studying in the US, you may be eligible to renew your student visa without an interview when you return to Nigeria this summer,” said the embassy on its website.

The website adds that this will only qualify for student visas that are still valid or have expired within the past 24 months. No-interview US visa renewals will only be valid for students who seek to: continue their studies in the same major even if at a different institution; or continue or change their course of studies at their current institution.

HOW TO APPLY

Abuja applicants are expected to visit www.ustraveldocs.com/ng and “follow instructions to complete your application and visit a designated DHL facility to drop off your application”.


The application is expected to be accompanied by the following documents:


A printout of your submission letter (printed from www.ustraveldocs.com/ng)

A completed DS-160

An approved I-20

A receipt for your I-901 SEVIS fee

A GTBank (MRV) receipt for your visa fee

Your passport containing the expired student visa (if that passport is expired, a current valid passport is also required)

A passport photograph meeting these requirements

For Lagos applicants, visit “www.ustraveldocs.com/ng and follow the instructions to make an interview waiver appointment for a student visa”.

Applicants are also expected to “come in person to the U.S. Consulate on the date and time of your appointment”.


The applicant is expected to come with the following documents:


 


A completed DS-160

An approved I-20

A receipt for your I-901 SEVIS fee

A GTBank (MRV) receipt for your visa fee

Your passport containing the expired student visa (if that passport is expired, a current valid passport is also required)

A passport photograph meeting these requirements

According to the statement, applicants who do not meet these criteria “should visit www.ustraveldocs.com/ng to schedule a regular appointment”.


“If someone in your family or group does not meet the qualifications above, they must schedule a regular appointment,” the statement reads.

“Each applicant must meet the qualifications individually. For instance, we cannot accept a renewal for a child because the parent qualifies under these guidelines. In that case, the child would need to schedule an appointment and come to the embassy or consulate for an interview.”
