The United States Mission in Nigeria has restated that visa application fees remain non-refundable, a policy it said is consistent with global practice.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday, the Mission explained that the fees cover the cost of processing applications, regardless of whether or not a visa is granted.
“We hear your concerns regarding US visa application fees. Like most countries, US visa fees cover the cost of processing the application, regardless of the outcome. While fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, each application is reviewed thoroughly and fairly,” the Mission stated.
It further advised Nigerian applicants to carefully prepare their applications to improve their chances of success.
