The United States Embassy has called off all visa appointments set for today, Wednesday, March 4, 2026. This sudden move is a response to reports of potential protests and security risks within the Abuja area.
The Embassy explained that the decision was made to protect both the Nigerians applying for visas and the Embassy staff during the "evolving" security situation.
If you had an appointment today, don't worry—you don't need to do anything yet. The Embassy will contact all affected applicants with new instructions on how to get a new date.
Officials are asking the public to keep an eye on the official U.S. Embassy website and social media pages for any further changes to their opening hours.
While regular visa services are paused, a dedicated emergency line (+234 209 461 4328) is available for U.S. citizens or those with urgent life-or-death needs.
