The United States Embassy has issued a fresh advisory to Nigerian travellers, clarifying that the expiration date on a US visa does not determine how long a visitor can remain in the country.
In a post shared on Friday via X (formerly Twitter), the embassy stated that the actual length of stay in the US is determined by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the port of entry.
“The length of time an international visitor is allowed to stay in the United States is determined by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer upon your arrival, NOT your visa expiration date,” the post read.
Travellers were encouraged to consult their I-94 form, which officially documents the approved duration of stay in the country.
