The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has confirmed a partial system outage affecting visa services, leading to delays for applicants.

The disruption follows complaints from Nigerian visa applicants who reported service glitches and interruptions during the application process.

The issue has been linked to the embassy’s transition to a new visa appointment system, designed to improve efficiency.

According to The PUNCH, frustrated applicants reported that the U.S. Embassy failed to conduct scheduled visa interviews, exacerbating delays.

U.S. Department of State confirms restoration of normal consular operations after the outage

An inquiry sent to Jennifer Johnson, Press Officer at the Office of Public and Congressional Affairs, Bureau of Consular Affairs, U.S. Department of State, revealed the extent of the system glitches affecting the process.
