According to a statement released by the embassy on Tuesday in Lagos, the new visa process, tagged Expanded DHL Drop Box Visa programme, is for applicants who want to renew their visas.
It was also stated that the new process would commence on June 2.
The statement reads: “The U.S. Mission to Nigeria is pleased to announce the expanded DHL Drop Box Visa Renewal Programme on June 2, 2014.
“This programme allows certain visa applicants who have previously been issued U.S. visas to renew their visas without attending an interview.
“The programme now covers B1/B2 visas that have expired not more than two years prior to re-issuance and F, L and H visas that have expired not more than one year prior to re-issuance,’’ it said.
The embassy also advised applicants to visit the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria’s Website for information on the needed criteria for renewals.
It, however, said that the consulate might request the applicants to attend visa interviews in some cases, adding that applicants’ participation in the programme was not a guarantee for visa issuance.
