No refund for visa application fee, US mission tells Nigerians The US Mission Nigeria has clarified that visa application fees are non-refundable, regardless of whether an applicant is granted or refused a visa. The mission made this known in a post shared on its official social media account, @USinNigeria on Wednesday, while debunking the belief that applicants are entitled to a refund if their visa applications are unsuccessful. “MYTH: If a U.S. visa application is refused, the applicant receives a refund,” the mission stated. Clarifying the issue, it said the fee paid by applicants covers the processing of their applications and does not guarantee the issuance of a visa. “FACT: The fee paid is an application processing fee, not a payment for a visa to be issued,” the statement read.

 Trump formally nominates Hung Cao as permanent Navy secretary

    President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he is formally nominating acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao to serve permanently in the position.

The announcement came one day after Trump accepted Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's resignation and four months after former Navy Secretary John C. Phelan left the post.

Cao has served as acting Navy secretary since April, when Phelan departed. Trump previously said Phelan's departure was connected to conflicts within the Pentagon over the Navy's shipbuilding and acquisition plans, although he said the disagreements did not involve Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The Secretary of the Navy is the service's highest-ranking civilian official. Along with the Chief of Naval Operations, the Navy's top military officer, the secretary oversees the training and equipping of the Navy and Marine Corps but does not direct combat operations.

Trump praised Cao as a strong military leader and said he was confident Cao could help maintain the Navy and Marine Corps as the world's strongest fighting force.

The president urged the Senate to move quickly on Cao's confirmation, pointing to the work he has already carried out during his four months as acting secretary.

Cao's nomination comes as the administration faces continued pressure to expand and modernize the Navy, including efforts to increase shipbuilding and strengthen the nation's military capabilities.
