The
Consul-General, United States Embassy, William Laidlaw, has said the US
visa application processes were simple and not as stringent as people
thought, stressing that the mission was working to improve and make its
visa processes better for Nigerians by decentralising it.
Laidlaw
explained that to qualify for a visit to the US, an applicant must show
that he has social and economic ties sufficient to meet the American
immigration terms, adding that those who failed to meet this requirement
are often turned down.
