Nigeria has outsourced visa services to OIS. Link below.

Between the embassy page and the OIS page, you will get all the info you need to get the visa for wife and kid.

I don't call or deal with the embassy.

The visa appointment is booked on the OIS site. If you walk in, you get charged an extra $50 per person.

Even OIS will try to charge you all sorts of additional fees.

 

FYI I just checked the OIS site and they seem to have their equivalent of drop box with a fee of $105

 

Read the instructions, have all your documents, don't even use their computers or printer and you might escape without additional fees

Thanks for this …I actually called the Washington office of the ois services and the lady I spoke to told me I also need a visa to visit Nigeria and I told her I don’t since am a Nigerian citizen but she told me all has changed with the policy and so I said alright. 
And then she gave me the information I needed for my wife and kid but after that I had to call Atlanta office of the ois and they gave me a better information of all I need to know about my wife,my kid and myself. 
thanks to all of your answers even those who didn’t understand exactly what I was saying before now.

Nigerian Embassy???  Do you mean the US Embassy in Lagos?

No …the OIS services office in Washington that handles the visa process from the US but am using Atlanta office since the Washington office is slow and confused. 
But am done with the process and would be in Nigeria soon with my family. Thanks so much sir!

I guess I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish.  Originally, you posted in a forum where we discuss bringing foreign spouses to the USA.  I thought you were the foreign spouse with a green card and wanted to visit your home country.  You don't need a visa to visit your country of citizenship.  You have a passport.  That's very clear.  The context of your other remarks is not.

Am in the US now …that might have been a post of some years ago. 
sorry about that!

OP wrote more than the portion you quoted above, here’s what he actually wrote:

”I called the Nigerian embassy to book a date for my wife and daughters interview, only for her to tell me that I need a visa too.”

 

The bolded part (including the title of the thread as a matter of fact) puts in context what the OP’s confusion is about, and not what you assumed it to be. It’s good to want to help people, but we shouldn’t be assuming we know the answer to a question that was never asked in the first place. 

Settle down.  You’re popping off to a very experienced member.

Wonder if he did not tell them he was a Nigerian Citizen entering on his Nigerian passport. Only thing that makes any sense.

You must definitely have your Nigerian International passport....

If it is expired and you have an unavoidable trip to Nigeria, you can use the expired passport to travel back home.
But ensure you talk to an airline first before you buy the ticket.
I will encourage you to use UNITED AIRLINES because I used it with an expired Nigerian Passport and I was a Permanent Resident also.

However, bear in mind you will not enter USA without an unexpired Nigerian passport, hence plan your trip very well because you must renew it in Nigeria, currently only Norther states of the country are places you can renew with ease.

In my case, I renewed my Nigerian Passport in Kano.  Hence I was able to return back to USA.

 

 

PS:  Notice I underline and bolden home in the previous statement, as a Nigerian and also a Legal Permanent Resident of USA, your first country is Nigeria, so you are going home.  Think of that for a moment.

And lastly, google is your friend
