U.S. threatens permanent visa ban on Nigerians who overstay visits
The United States government has threatened to slam a visa ban on Nigerians who overstay their visas.
The US Mission in Nigeria posted the warning via its X (formerly twitter) Monday.
It explained that violators could face permanent bans from re-entering the American country.
It stated, “If you remain in the United States beyond your authorized period of stay, you could face a permanent ban on travelling to the United States in future.’’
Since the return of President Donald Trump to power, America has become stricter with its immigration policies.
