The United States Department of State is urging some visa applicants to set the privacy settings of all their social media accounts to “public.”
The visa types in question are non-immigrant visas F, M, and J, which are intended for students and exchange visitors. This move is aimed at facilitating identity verification and eligibility screening for entry into the United States, based on U.S. laws.
On the Non-immigrant Visa Application Form (DS160), it is necessary to accurately provide information about social media accounts used in the past five years. If applicable information is not entered, the application will not be accepted.
