The United States government has reiterated its stand that visa application fees remain non-refundable and non-transferable.
The position of the government was communicated in a statement on Tuesday by the U.S. Mission in Nigeria via its official X account.
The statement acknowledged concerns and frustrations raised by several individuals regarding U.S. visa application fees but noted that the fees are non-refundable and non-transferable regardless of the outcome of such applications.
It therefore urged applicants to prepare well and make use of available resources on the mission’s website in preparing and submitting their applications.
“We hear your concerns regarding U.S. visa application fees. Like most countries, U.S. visa fees cover the cost of processing the application, regardless of the outcome. While fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, each application is reviewed thoroughly and fairly. For best results, prepare your application carefully and use the resources on our website,” the statement read.
