“Because I’m Nigerian” – Man who had his US visa interview in London reveals what was done to him

A Nigerian man, @MaziGomez_, based in the UK, has narrated his awkward US visa interview experience.

The diasporan shared his story following the news of the US adding Nigeria to the list of countries slapped with travel restrictions.

@MaziGomez_, who had his US visa interview in London, said the female visa officer denied him without asking him any questions or offering an explanation.

He added that she never went through the supporting documents he had brought. He attributed his visa denial to his Nigerian nationality.

The man’s experience, as shared on X, read:

“Went for US visa interview in London last month. When it got to my turn, the lady said my visa has been denied this time and handed me a rejection letter. No question. No explanation. She didn’t even look at all the supporting documents I went with. “I knew immediately it was because I’m Nigerian.”
