One of the biggest challenges Nigerian applicants face is securing a U.S. visa appointment. In 2025, the backlog still exists, but there are smart ways to fast-track your slot.
Strategies to Get a Faster Appointment
-
Apply early: Don’t wait till last minute.
-
Use the “Expedited Appointment” option: Valid for emergencies, medical trips, or students with start dates.
-
Check daily: Cancellations open up slots without notice.
-
Book through an agent: PraisenPam has insights into timing and slot availability.
-
Choose alternate locations: Lagos and Abuja may be full, but other countries like Ghana may have earlier dates.

Receipt of visa fee payment
