Nigerian Immigration tells Nigerians not to misuse US visas
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has given an advisory, telling Nigerians to use their U.S. visas responsibly and in total compliance with the stated purpose of their application.

This follows concerns raised by the U.S. Government over the misuse of visas by some citizens of Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Service Public Relations Officer, SPR0, Akinsola Akinlabi, said Nigerians holding U.S. visas must abide by the terms and conditions under which the visas were granted.

“The Nigeria Immigration Service wishes to inform the general public of concerns raised by the United States Government regarding the misuse of U.S. visas by Nigerians.

“All visa holders are advised to strictly adhere to the purpose stated in their visa applications.

“U.S. authorities conduct security screening beyond the initial point of entry into the country. Any breach of immigration or other laws can lead to visa revocation or deportation.

“Breach of visa conditions, including overstaying, may attract severe penalties, including removal from the U.S. and permanent ineligibility for future travel,” he said.

According to him, the U.S. remains committed to maintaining a secure and transparent visa process and expects all visa holders to comply fully with its immigration regulations.

The NIS said that the U.S. consular officers reserve the right to deny tourist visas to applicants suspected of intending to travel for the purpose of giving birth, in a bid to secure U.S. citizenship for their children.

“The NIS will continue to collaborate with the U.S. Mission in Abuja to ensure Nigeria is not included in any expanded visa restrictions.

“We are calling on all Nigerian citizens to comply with U.S. visa rules as such conduct is essential to safeguarding legitimate travel opportunities,” he said.
