NIS suspends US visa application centres indefinitely

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) announced the indefinite suspension of OIS Services, the operator of Nigeria's Visa Application Centres in the United States, effective July 1. Applicants must now submit visa applications directly at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C., or at the Consulates General in New York and Atlanta. The suspension does not affect Nigeria's electronic visa (e-Visa) system, which remains available online. The NIS has implemented measures to ensure smooth visa processing despite the suspension.
