US cuts visa validity for most Nigerian applicants

The US has reduced the validity and conditions of non-immigrant visas for Nigerian citizens, making them single-entry and valid for only three months starting from July 8. This change is part of a global reciprocity realignment affecting visa terms previously allowing multiple entries over a longer period. The US is also vetting social media accounts of visa applicants for any indications of hostility towards the United States. This decision comes amidst efforts to ensure compliance with international standards in areas such as issuing secure travel documents.
