The United States Embassy has introduced updated visa interview requirements for Nigerian applicants, which will become effective from 22nd April 2025.
In a statement released on Friday, the US mission emphasised that all applicants attending visa interviews in Abuja and Lagos must present a DS-160 form; featuring a confirmation barcode that begins with “AA” followed by two zeroes (00).
Applicants with mismatched barcode information will be denied entry to the Consular Section and disqualified from their scheduled interviews, according to the statement, which also advised applicants to verify that their DS-160 barcode matches their appointment information at least two weeks before their interview date.
