I recently had my interview, and it was successful!! 🙌🏽 to save y’all some money & worries !!! guys you do not need an invitation letter from host, if you already have hotel or airbnb reservations!! If you do not have reservations you will need invitation letter and host data page from their passport. (Front info page of passport) The overnight shipping envelope only applies if you are out of state and need visa shipped to you, but if you are local or live near the embassy office your interview took place, you can actually pick up your visa when ready….
I am going with a group and wanted to share that someone’s visa got denied because they applied too early. Our trip is in October and they were told that they need to apply 2 months in advance.
Hi Gabby I applied for a tourist visa in July. My interview was September 11 at the DC location. After three weeks, I had not received my visa, I live in DC. I later found out the embassy ran out of visas. I didn't receive my visa until October 7. Hopefully, the process has improved.
oh no I'm so so sorry this happen ,I have not recently been to the Dc location I went last year and got mines back in one week I'm hoping things will go back to that turn around time! happy you eventually received your visa!
Hi Gabby, I am applying for a tourist visa but there is a section that says reference. Do I just add a friend I know in the region or do I add the hotel as a reference ?
Hello! Please I wanted to know if there is a problem getting an appointment online. My girlfriend have been trying to book this appointment for weeks but it’s showing error on the page
Thanks for the video, Gabby! Your videos are literally dope. You should rename your UA-cam to Gabby the G.O.A.T! I was so nervous about the entire process. I wanted to share my recent experience at the OISS NYC office. Overall, the process was incredibly seamless, and to be honest, I was probably over-prepared. I applied for an F5 multiple entry tourist visa and submitted the following documents: 1.Copy of Passport 2.Appointment Slip 3. Visa Payment Receipt 4. Visa Application 5. Bank Statement (showing at least $1000 in cash, no more than 2 months old). I actually redacted my account numbers but made sure not to alter the statement or hide my name and address. 6.Flight Itinerary 7.Accommodations with the visa applicant listed as a guest 8.Self-addressed USPS envelope with stamps and tracking I also brought along passport photos, but I didn't need them since the NYC office offers a pick-up option and I'm local. I chose to pick up the visa in person, so the passport photos and envelope weren't necessary. However, it's important to note that every office might have different requirements. For example, my friend who went to the ATL office needed to have printed passport photos, as they affix them to the application there. Currently, my application is at the mission pending review. One thing to note is the reference portion on the initial application. I found this a bit confusing-why would a tourist need a reference? I ended up using my friend who lives in Lagos for that section. (Update: Gabby responded to my comment and said you can add the hotel here) Overall, my experience was very positive. The staff at the NYC office were friendly and professional, which might have been partly due to the office being empty at the time. If you're preparing for your own visa appointment, I'd recommend having all these documents ready just in case, but know that the process is generally straightforward.
Hi! I just watched a few of your videos on UA-cam and they’re fantastic. I wanted to ask how long the visiting visa process typically takes because I’d like to be in Nigeria by November. I’m thinking of starting the application now. Thanks!
Hi hun so do i need to book my appointment first then do my application my visa just ran out on may ninth so will i have to start the process all over again
Hi Gabby, it says on the application I need to have my flight booked. Is there a way to wait until after I have my interview and get the visa back before I book the flight? I’m afraid to book the flight and the visa doesn’t come back in time for my flight 😢
by the time you go too your visa appointment you will need to show them proof of the flight ticket so just make sure you have the flight ticket by the time your visa appointment

Does anyone have any experience with the New York Nigerian Visa center. I’m trying to decide if I should go to New York or Washington DC
Hi Gabby,
I am applying for a tourist visa but there is a section that says reference. Do I just add a friend I know in the region or do I add the hotel as a reference ?
you can add either
If someone is inviting me to Nigeria, can they email me the invitation letter to print out.
Yes it can be emailed too you in printed out
@gabbyvilla when I get my visa appointment, do I need to still wait if I'm approve before getting my plane ticket or can I still get it
I'm going to use a Airbnb or a hotel reservation as an invitation letter hopefully that works.
if your applying for tourism visa

I have to get a visa so I can go to Lagos Nigeria in two months help please ❤
I hope at this point you have figured everything out
Hi gabby
Is it compulsory for the invitation letter from my Nigerian host to have a signature since a data page of they passport will be sent as well thanks ❤️
the letter needs a signature
If you are staying at a hotel, you don't need an invitation letter
correct , just bring you proper documents to show where you will be staying while in Nigeria
correct just proof of your documentation with you from hotel reservations
Hi Gabby, I have a question? I haven’t booked my appointment for my visa, so my question is how long should I give the visa process to book a fight?
Look up visa supply they do the whole process for you . Your visa will be valid for 5 yrs with a stay up to 30 days each entry, you’ll get you passport within 2-3 weeks ! If you use the code (cami) you get 30 dollars off
by the time you go to your visa appointment please have your ticket with you , you need to show them
Omg I already bought my flight 🤦🏾♀️
oh no . depending how far out your trip is you may still be okay too meet up with your trip timing
Then try the Visa on arrival if it's still valid though
