In Lagos, student surge days will take place on November 24, December 8, and December 15. Documents should be e-mailed to LagosStudents@state.gov.

These include a completed DS-160, an approved I-20, a receipt for I-901 SEVIS fee, a GTBank (MRV) receipt for visa fee, a scan of the bio page of a current valid passport and passport photograph

Similarly, those currently studying in the U.S. may be considered for a special application procedure.

However, they must be renewing a student visa that is still valid or has expired within the past 24 months.

Those eligible are either renewing to continue participation in the same major course of study even if at a different institution, or attend the same institution even if in a different major course of study.

Such applicants in Abuja are to apply through www.ustraveldocs.com/ng, follow the instructions to complete visa application, visit a designated DHL facility and mail the following:

A printout of confirmation page, completed DS–160, an approved I–20, receipt for I-901 SEVIS fee, a GTBank (MRV) receipt for visa fee passport containing the expired student visa (if that passport is expired, a current valid passport is also required).

Others are passport photographs and proof of continued full-time enrollment (such as transcripts, tuition payment, etc.)

In Lagos, applicants were asked to take the above-listed requirements to the U.S. Consulate at 12:30 – 1:00 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, between November 25 and January 5.
