Nigerians with valid visas denied entry into USA

The Federal Government has advised Nigerians against visiting the United States of America at the moment except for crucial matters as a result of the lack of clarity in the country’s new immigration rules.




The advisory was sequel to the barring of some Nigerians, with valid US visas, from entering the US in recent weeks.

“At least, four Nigerians with valid visas were denied entry to the US within the last two weeks and sent back to the country on the next available flights,” the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Matters, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, told The PUNCH on Monday.

In a statement on Monday, Dabiri-Erewa advised Nigerians without any compelling or essential reasons to visit the US to consider delaying their trip “until there is clarity in the new immigration policy.”

She added, “In the last few weeks, the office has received a few cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry US visas, being denied entry and sent back to Nigeria.

“In such cases reported to the office, the affected persons were sent back immediately on the next available flights and their visas were cancelled.”

She reminded Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and regulations of their host countries and be good ambassadors of the country.


The US embassy could not be reached for comment as it had yet to respond to an email, sent to it, seeking its reaction to the barring of Nigerians.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also unavailable for comment.

  12. The two incidents that I have heard are christians. So you guys should not think it affect muslims alone. Also when you are traveling ensure you travel with evident of your place of work, don't carry too much luggage and go with enough cash.

  13. Abeg make Them let us enter first oh

  14. They sent someone back in my presence because she came with her credentials and she was helping people bring load.
    When you are travelling don't come with any document, don't help help and carry plenty load. Make sure where u are going, your hotel reservation and all is complete.
    And try to book max 2 or 3 weeks for your return ticket if not oyo Is your case. From personal experience.

  15. Only ignorant people believe it's Nigerians with muslim names that are being turned back. All the cases I have read are Christian names and all Christians. One was even going for a church program. Who cares if you are Christian or Muslim once you are black or even Nigerian? That's enough on its own to put your under the radar. Keep fooling yourself that it's Muslim Nigerians that are being turned back.
