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.
Documents Needed for Expedited Requests

Proof of urgency (school letter, hospital records, etc.)

Visa application (DS-160)
-
Receipt of visa fee payment
Trust the process — and trust experts like PraisenPam to guide you through it quickly and correctly.
