Non-Immigrant Visas

Nigerians seeking to enter the United States for a temporary period must obtain a nonimmigrant visa. Most nonimmigrant visa applicants seek to travel for business or pleasure. Others wish to study, participate in exchange programs, or take up certain temporary employment

Qualifying for a Nonimmigrant Visa

According to U.S. visa laws and regulations, all nonimmigrant visa applicants must demonstrate to the consular officer that they have strong ties to their country of residence and must show that they intend to depart the United States after their temporary visit. While there is no specific list of documents to be provided or things that must be done in order to demonstrate strong ties outside of the United States, applicants may wish to bring a variety of materials that can assist in demonstrating these ties.

The visa interview days are Monday-Friday mornings and the majority of successful applicants normally receive their U.S. visas within two business days.

Advance travel planning and early visa application are important, since visa applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past.
