The United States Embassy in Nigeria says it will reopen its Abuja’s consular section on August 24 for full services for both visas and American Citizen Services (ACS).
This is contained in a statement posted on the embassy’s website on Monday.
The embassy had on August 15 temporarily suspended its consular services in Abuja due to reasons it said were beyond its control.
“The U.S. Embassy in Abuja’s consular section will reopen on Aug. 24th for full services for both visas and ACS. Please, note that consular functions at the U.S. Consulate Lagos were never affected and will continue as usual.
“We regret the inconvenience this interruption of service in Abuja has caused,” it stated.
The embassy stated that Visa and ACS applicants with scheduled appointments for August 24 should come to Abuja as usual.
“Visa and ACS applicants with cancelled appointments between Aug. 13 and Aug. 23 will be contacted by the Embassy for rescheduling.
“Visa and ACS applicants, who were requested by an officer to appear again for follow-up questions on existing applications should contact our office to arrange a new date,” it said.
It assured visa applicants, who submitted passports through the Interview Waiver Programme for visa renewal, that such would be processed as soon as possible.
