The United States (US) Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria has said over 197, 500 visa applications were processed last year, including immigrant and non-immigrant applications.

US Embassy Consular Chief Stacie Hankins spoke at a video conference aimed at highlighting the new visa procedures.

The embassy said 15,500 immigrant visa applications were received last year, 14, 900 of the applications were granted; while the majority of the more than 182,000 non-immigrant visa applications for the same year were also approved.

“Between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013, the embassy in Abuja and consulate in Lagos received more than 182, 000 non-immigrant visa applications, of which 65 per cent was approved.

“Between October 1, 2013 and September 30, this year, we received more than 220, 000 applications. Again, the majority of those applications were approved,” said Hankins.

She said the US visa application witnessed a steady increase in the last five years, adding that the mission did not foresee a decline in the trend.
