Mr. David Greene, Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Nigeria, reassures visa applicants that the embassy is actively working to resolve all visa-related issues.
In an interview with journalists in Abuja, Greene pledged that difficulties with visas would soon be a thing of the past, emphasizing the mission’s dedication to addressing such challenges.
Acknowledging the demand for visa appointments surpassing the available slots, Greene stated, “When it comes to visas specifically, it is a simple fact that the demand for visa appointments outnumbers the supply. So, those appointments are available, and we are doing everything we can to address that gap.”

He highlighted that this year alone, the embassy has conducted interviews for over 150,000 Nigerians, demonstrating significant progress.
Greene further mentioned a positive development in March, where the embassy implemented a five-year term for visas to the U.S. He encouraged prospective visitors to apply early and ensure that their visa requests are tied to specific events.
