I-Media TV News: *US Discontinues Visa Drop Box Service in Nigeria, Reverts to In-Person Interviews* The United States has quietly removed the drop box visa renewal option for Nigerian applicants, requiring all visa renewals to undergo in-person interviews. While the US Embassy has not issued an official statement, applicants have reported the feature’s disappearance from the appointment booking system. This change comes amid a severe backlog, with some applicants waiting nearly a year for appointments. The drop box program, initially introduced to streamline renewals, had previously been suspended in 2018 due to visa overstay concerns. Its removal now may lead to longer wait times, affecting business travelers, students, and frequent visitors. *Source: Nairametrics*
