The US will expand social media review for granting other visas

The United States Department of State is expanding its screening of foreign visa applicants' social media accounts to include new types of visas. According to an internal memo obtained by the Daily Signal, this measure is being implemented as part of the broader evaluation process for individuals seeking entry into the country.

The policy broadens existing vetting procedures by incorporating social media checks into additional visa categories. The decision reflects ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to scrutinize the backgrounds of foreign applicants through their digital footprints during the application process.
