Nigerians Will Be Paying More For Approved American Visa – US Government

Nigerians Will Be Paying More For Approved American Visa - US Government 1

The United States Government has disclosed that Nigerians will be paying more for their approved visa applications.

This was announced in a statement Issued by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) U.S. Consulate General in a statement on Tuesday, 27th August 2019.

US Consulate explained that Nigerians applying for American visas will have to pay increased issuance fee, or reciprocity fee, for all approved applications for non immigrant visas in B, F, H1B, I, L, and R visa classifications. The statement reads:

“The reciprocity fee will be charged in addition to the non-immigrant visa application fee of 160 dollars also known as the MRV fee, which all applicants pay at the time of application.

“Nigerian citizens whose applications for a non-immigrant visa are denied will not be charged the new reciprocity fee. Both reciprocity and MRV fees are non-refundable, and their amounts vary based on visa classification.

“Nigerians, who are issued tourist visa will now pay 270 dollars.

“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. Nationals of a number of countries worldwide are currently required to pay this type of fee after their non immigrant visa application is approved.

“The total cost for a U.S. citizen to obtain a visa to Nigeria is currently higher than the total cost for a Nigerian to obtain a comparable visa to the United States. The new reciprocity fee for Nigerian citizens is meant to eliminate that cost difference.

“Since early 2018, the U.S. government has engaged the Nigerian government to request that the Nigerian government change the fees charged to U.S. citizens for certain visa categories.

“After eighteen months of review and consultations, the government of Nigeria has not changed its fee structure for U.S. citizen visa applicants, requiring the U.S. Department of State to enact new reciprocity fees in accordance with our visa laws.

“The reciprocity fee will be required for all Nigerian citizens worldwide, regardless of where they are applying for a non-immigrant visa to the United States.

“The reciprocity fee is required for each visa that is issued, which means both adults and minors whose visa applications are approved will be charged the reciprocity fee.

“The fee can only be paid at the U.S. Embassy or the U.S. Consulate General. The reciprocity fee cannot be paid at banks or any other location.”
