US Revisits Visa Applications From Nigerians Refused Under Donald Trump
The United States led by Joe Biden has said it is revisiting the immigrant visa applications from Nigerians that were refused under the administration of Donald Trump.
In a statement on Tuesday, the US mission in Nigeria said that it has contacted all immigrant visa applicants whose applications were affected by Trump’s presidential proclamations 9645 and 9983.
The statement said, the US mission is now prioritizing the processing of these pending cases that were affected by the Trump ban.
However, it denied reports that the new window is open to all Nigerians whose visa applications were rejected under Trump.

“The validity of nonimmigrant visa payments (known as the MRV fee) has been extended until September 30, 2022, to allow all applicants who were unable to schedule a visa appointment as a result of the suspension of routine consular operations an opportunity to schedule and/or attend a visa appointment with the already paid fee.
“Non-immigrant visa applicants who were previously refused and would like to apply again will need to submit a new visa application (DS-160) and pay a new visa application processing fee.”
