If you ever applied for a US visa, you will know how cumbersome it is, having to first make payment in UBA Bank, then book an interview appointment online. You can say goodbye to that, as the US State Department launched a new website yesterday.
The website is located at
http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng for Nigeria. They now work in collaboration with GTbank to make it easier. They have two options, pay online or at any GTBank’s branch in Nigeria. For now, the online payment is not working, and I did speak with a rep and all she said was it could be due to a technical glitch on the site. If you cant do that, visit a GTbank branch to make the payment.
For every payment made before 3pm, you can schedule an appointment 3hrs later while payment made after 3pm will only be available the next working day.
It’s a big push forward at serving the Nigerian market better even as the extra 5,800 fee has been dropped. To get a slot for visa interview you need to pay $140 (Naira equivalent) to their GTbank account.
