Nigerians to Pay Visa Issuance Fee for Non-immigrant US Visas from August 29 via thisdaylive
Barely a week after after 80 Nigerians were charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, conspiracy to launder money and aggravated identity theft, the United States government has said that effective from August 29, 2019, Nigerian citizens would be required to pay a visa issuance fee, or reciprocity fee, for all approved applications for non-immigrant visas
The US explained that the reciprocity fee would be required for all Nigerian citizens worldwide, regardless of where they are applying for a non-immigrant visa to the United States. The statement said, “U.S. law requires U.S. visa fees and validity periods to be based on the treatment afforded to U.S. citizens by foreign governments, insofar as possible. Visa issuance fees are implemented under the principle of reciprocity: when a foreign government imposes additional visa fees on U.S. citizens, the United States will impose reciprocal fees on citizens of that country for similar types of visas.
