U.S. Department of State Requests Social Media Privacy Settings Change for Visa Applicants

The U.S. Department of State’s Consular Affairs has issued a new directive for students and exchange participants applying for F, M, or J nonimmigrant visas. Applicants are now requested to set all their social media accounts to "public" to aid in the vetting process. This measure is intended to help establish the identity and admissibility of individuals seeking entry to the United States, according to the department. The announcement underscores the government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen visa screening procedures.
