Nigerians hit cuts in US visa period

The United States has changed the immigrant visa policy for Nigeria, the majority of Nigerian travelers can enter the country and reduce their terms.

From July 8, the US State Department said all immigrants and diplomatic visas given to Nigerian citizens will now be a single entrance and only three months.

This is a global interaction regulation of previous visa conditions that allow for a large number of entries in two years or more.

Nigeria also offers a reliable visa for those who plan to visit the country only from the United States for three months.

The Nigerian government has not yet commented.

The State Department visa policy remains “subject to continued opinions” and can vary depending on developing diplomatic, security and immigration criteria.

The statement said that the US government has been working closely with the Nigerian government to ensure the country’s main international standards.

These include:

• Issuing safe travel documents
• Manage visa overstay
• See security or criminal information for safety or criminal purposes

The United States also ordered that social media accounts of all foreigners applying for visas, including Nigeria, “any indicator of hostility to citizens, culture, government and organizations, the principles of the United States.”

According to the International Education Exchange Report in Nigeria, the United States was the largest source of seventh students in the United States and the highest in Africa.

The report, Education and Cultural Affairs Bureau, published by the US State Department, increased by 13.5% since 2023.

An assistant of the former Nigerian President Mohammaud Buhari said he believed that the United States did not show dissatisfaction with Nigeria.

The Xi was broadcast in the Xi in Bashir Ahmad that President Bola Tinubu was behind the action in the last visit to Brics Brics.

“It does not only belong to the interaction. On the contrary, it reflects the growing global regulation of Nigeria, especially with the hot banquet we received from Brics,” he said.

Immigration lawyer Godwin Oke thinks differently and reported to the BBC: “This is a visa interaction classic under international diplomatic experience. Countries often adapt visa conditions to reflect mutual treatment.

“The United States has issued a five-year entry visa, and Nigeria has offered short-term and single access visas from Americans. From a policy point of view, it was just a matter of time before the settlement of the unbelievers.”

In March this year, the United States mission in Nigeria, a visa could be a hard warning, saying that he could cause a permanent travel ban and potential criminal prosecution.

There is no official information that shows the number of Nigerian travelers to the United States.

However, the Nigerians are concerned that the number of visa recipients will fall into the strong immigration policy of President Donald Trump.

Many young Nigerians want to leave the country in the things called Japa (Japa means running in Yoruba) and the United States remains one of the most desirable directions.
