A change in visa processing has taken effect, with routine services no longer available at the US Embassy in Abuja. Applicants are now directed to the US Consulate General for these services. The new arrangement began on August 1, 2026. Certain applicants who had existing appointments will still be attended to, though some dates may have been adjusted. These individuals should check their email for updated appointment information.

Further details on this change can be found in the latest visa advisory issued by US authorities. The advisory outlines the new procedures for routine visa services.

Affected applicants should review the advisory for specific information on the new arrangement.
