The US will expand social media review for granting other visas

The United States Department of State is expanding its social media vetting procedures to include additional categories of visa applicants. This policy adjustment is intended to enhance the evaluation process for foreign nationals seeking entry into the country.

The initiative is based on information contained in an internal memorandum. By incorporating social media review into the screening protocols for a broader range of visa types, the department aims to strengthen its vetting standards for international applicants.
