Mr David Greene, Charge d\u2019Affaires at the US Embassy in Nigeria, has assured visa applicants that the mission is committed to resolving all visa-related issues.<\/p>\n

Greene made the pledge during an interview with newsmen in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said visa troubles would be a thing of the past, and the mission is doing everything in its power to address such challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to visas specifically, well of course it is a simple fact, the demand for visa appointments outnumbers the supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, those appointments are available and we are doing everything we can to address that gap. What folks do not know is that this year we have interviewed more than 150,000 Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made great progress though. In March we instituted a five-year term for visas to the U.S.,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He urged people who want to visit the United States to apply early and to make sure their visa requests were related to specific events.<\/p>\n
