Travel Agents Impunity on US Visa
Nigerians could get thousands of United States visa appointments that are available to them if travel agents and visa facilitators would stop acting with impunity.
The United States embassy in Nigeria said that right now they have thousands of space for visa appointments available for Nigerians who want to travel, and as long as they meet the criteria and follow the correct procedures, they must get an appointment.

Susan Tuller, Country Consular Coordinator of the United States Embassy in Nigeria, said this during a press conference that the embassy held on the No-interview United States visa fee renewal service that they launched in Nigeria.
As of right now, thousands of appointments are available for this new no-interview renewal program, and asf long as you meet the criteria and follow the procedures, there is no reason to pay someone to get the appointment. Susan Tuller, Country Consular Coordinator of the United States Embassy in Nigeria, said.
Thousands of Nigerians apply for United States visas each year, and many of them spend a lot of money to get visa appointments only to be denied.
For many of them, the only way they can apply for a travel visa is through travel agents and visa facilitators.
This made travel agencies very lucrative businesses.
Nigeria is a country that has many travel agencies all over the country, including registered and unregistered ones, accredited and unaccredited ones.
But even with the travel agents and visa facilitators that are all over the country and the world, it is difficult for many who want to travel to the United States to get an ordinary visa appointment with the embassy.
The United States embassy said the reason Nigerians are facing problems getting visa appointments is not from the embassy but because the visa facilitators and travel agents are manipulating their systems.
