US visa<\/a> expired within the last 48 months or will expire in the next 3 months may now qualify to renew their visa without an interview.<\/p>\n\u201cThe US Mission is also opening thousands of visa renewal appointments to assist applicants who wish to renew their visas<\/p>\n
\u201cNo-Interview Visa Renewal Appointments Available Now. You may be eligible for a visa renewal without an interview if your application is for a B1\/B2, F, M, J (academic only), H, L or C1\/D (combined only) visa, AND you meet each of the following criteria:<\/p>\n
\u201cYour previous visa was issued in Nigeria. Your previous visa is in the same classification as your current application.
\nYour previous visa was a full validity, multiple entry visa.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour previous visa expired within the last 48 months or will expire in the next 3 months from the date of application.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have all your passports covering the entire period since receiving the previous visa and the passport with the most recent visa.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have never been arrested or convicted of any crime or offense in the United States, even if you later received a waiver or pardon.
\nYou have never worked without authorization or remained beyond your permitted time in the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease see our website at https:\/\/ng.usembassy.gov\/visas\/nonimmigrant-visas\/ for further information.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are qualified based on the above criteria, visit https:\/\/www.ustraveldocs.com\/ng to start your application\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease note that processing times for the program are expected to be up to two months and you will not be able to retrieve your passport during that time\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach applicant must individually meet the criteria; minors can apply without an interview only if they meet the eligibility criteria on their own\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpecial Note: Third parties unaffiliated with U.S. Embassy Abuja and Consulate General Lagos may seek to take advantage of various visa services to target visa applicants with fraudulent offers or claims.<\/p>\n
\u201cApplicants should fill out their own forms and make their appointments themselves via the official websites.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs future opportunities for Interview Waiver appointments become available, they will be communicated via our website.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember to rely on information only from genuine sources: https:\/\/travel.state.gov, https:\/\/ng.usembassy.gov\/visas\/, and https:\/\/www.ustraveldocs.com\/ng. Avoid becoming the victim of a scam, It stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
