Visa Appointment Instructions

To schedule an appointment, follow the instructions below.  Each applicant will need to schedule a separate appointment, and each applicant will need a separate passport unless your minor child is endorsed in your passport.

1.  Go to the VFS Global website for the U.S. Mission to Nigeria at www.usa-vfsglobal-ng.com.

2.  Click on the "How do I Apply for a Nonimmigrant Visa" link on the left side of the screen.  There you will find detailed instructions on how to schedule, reschedule or cancel an appointment, as well as how to pay application fees and complete the visa application form(s).

3.  Use the above website to request an appointment in either Abuja or Lagos.  You will have an opportunity to indicate where you would like to apply.

4.  Choose an appointment date and time that is available, and fill out the required information.  Enter your Surname and all your Given Names exactly as they appear in your passport.  Enter your passport number exactly as it appears in your passport, with no extra spaces.  Provide an e-mail address and telephone number (so Embassy or Consulate staff can reach you in case of emergency). PLEASE NOTE:  You will only be allowed to attend your interview with the passport bearing the number entered here AND if your name exactly matches the name in your passport.  You may only schedule one appointment per passport number.

5. You are now finished.
