The US will expand social media review for granting other visas

The United States Department of State is expanding its screening of applicants' social media accounts to include new types of visas as part of its foreign applicant evaluation process. According to an internal memo obtained by the media outlet Daily Signal, the new measure incorporates social media checks into additional visa categories.

The policy broadening reflects ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to enhance vetting procedures for individuals seeking entry into the country through various visa pathways.
