“To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M and J non-immigrant visas will be asked to adjust the privacy settings on all their social media profiles to ‘public’”, the official said. “The enhanced social media vetting will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country.”
I see many of these students straight up deleting their profiles.
I will imagine that will be seen as suspicious. Interesting businesss to sell clean aged social media account for US only vetting…
Me: I don’t have a social media account Officer: Sure buddy, wait on a side until you do.
My visa application got rejected for posting a watermelon emoji on Myspace in nineteen dickety two.
Why any international students still want to go to the US is beyond me.
Maybe for the unis?
Welp, looks like I won’t be allowed into America. Oh no. How unfortunate.
So, what happens when someone that doesn’t have social media accounts applies for a visa? I assume they just won’t believe such a thing and deny the visa since you can’t prove a negative. Would it make sense for such people to make a social media account and just not use it? This is ridiculous.
Wasn’t this always the case? I remember flying into the US during the Biden era as a tourist and had to declare my social media accounts.
Yes I recalled that too but I don’t recall the public aspect to be turned on.
Wait really? 😂
During the Biden administration I should have gone to the US over 25 times, and 3 more during Trump’s new term, and not once have they asked me for anything other than “how long are you here for” and “what’s the purpose of your trip”.
I guess I’m lucky, because I don’t have a single mainstream social media account.
Everyone hated on her for speaking the truth.
“Do not come”
