US VISA FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE –EMBASSY TELLS NIGERIANS

The United States Mission in Nigeria has again insisted that visa fees are non-refundable.

The Mission stated this in response to questions surrounding the non-refundable nature of US visa fees.

According to the Mission, the policy aligns with global practices.

The Embassy also noted that fees cover application costs regardless of approval.

In a statement on its X handle on Tuesday, the Mission assured Nigerians that each case is reviewed thoroughly and fairly.

The statement read: “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.”

For best results, the Mission urged Nigerian visa applicants to prepare their applications carefully.
