NewsOnline reports that the United States (US) Government has announced the resumption of the drop box service or interview waiver in Nigeria.
This development, NewsOnline Nigeria understands, is coming 32 months after the US mission in Nigeria first announced the indefinite suspension of drop box process for visa renewals in all its consulates in Nigeria.
The Drop Box visa renewal programme allows certain visa applicants who have previously been issued U.S. visas to renew their visas without attending an interview. This means that you can get a US visa stamp without any personal interview by a US visa officer, but rather submit documents.
According to a report from The Street Journal, this was made known by the United States Embassy in Nigeria in a recent statement.
The embassy in its announcement said that to qualify for the interview waiver, visa applicants must be applying to renew either a B1/B2, an F, an L, or an H visa. The applicants must satisfy all of the criteria for their visa class.
The statement noted that if applying as a group or family, all members must fulfil each criteria to use the programme.
The US Embassy in Nigeria also said that applicants who are 79 years and older automatically qualify for the interview waiver although they are still required to apply and print a copy of their interview waiver letter through the schedule platform.
