The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has disengaged Online Integrated Solution, known as OIS Services, as the operator of its Visa Application and Submission Centres in the United States, with immediate effect, directing all visa applicants to submit their applications directly at Nigerian diplomatic missions in the country.
The NIS, in a public notice signed by its Service Public Relations Officer, DCI Akinsola Akinlabi, on Wednesday, said OIS Services had been officially dropped from the collection and submission of visa applications on behalf of the Nigerian Mission in the United States.
The service directed that all applicants seeking Nigerian visas in the US must now submit their applications directly at the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington D.C. or at the Consulates of Nigeria in New York and Atlanta until further notice.

The NIS assured members of the public that the Embassy and Consulates had put adequate measures in place to ensure the seamless submission, processing and issuance of visas.
It urged applicants to monitor the service’s communication channels and those of the Nigerian Mission in the United States for further updates on visa application procedures.
