Fee for Visa Interview question

[Afrikan Queen 11]

The fee at the visa interview has to be paid in US Dollars, right? From my understanding the Naira cannot be converted into US Dollars. So I was wondering how can my fiance get USD? Hoping my fellow Nigerian VJer's can help. Any other assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

directly off the Embassy site

The fee for an immigrant visa is $355.00 payable in cash in U.S. dollars or Naira equivalent. In addition, there is a $45.00 security surcharge. We do not accept checks or credit cards.

You do not need unnecessary stress for yourself, so, simply go with dollars. The Lagos Consulate has it on their FAQs that you can either pay in dollars or naira equivalent. However I have seen a number of shocking testimonies here on VJ that people who brought naira were sent back to go and get dollars. I would have discounted their testimonies as untrue except that more than 3 different people here on VJ said so. So, I would simply minimize my stress by getting USD in hand. Visit any bank in Nigeria and you can get genuine dollar bills exchanged for your naira. Hope that helps.

You can get dollars inside the embassy. There are so many people within the embassy asking people who need to change naira to dollars.

I hope this helps......
