Description of social media for American visas

If this proposal is approved, about 1.5 million people will be affected each year.

The Trump Administration has said that he wants to get the statistics of everyone's social media activity for American visas.

This proposal has been made by the US Department of State and under this, the applicant will be required to describe his Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The details of the social contact site that they have used in the past five years will be given.

This information will be used to identify and strictly investigate, and it will be valid on both visas immigrants and non-immigrants.

Telephone number, mobile number, e-mail and travel details used by the Visa applicant in the last five years will also be asked. They will also have to tell if they have ever been demolished from the country and have no relatives involved in any terrorist activities.

This new proposal will not affect the citizens of the countries that allow US to travel without visas. They include the UK, Canada, France and Germany. But citizens of non-privatized countries like Pakistan, India, China and Mexico will be affected by this, whether they go to America work or visit.

This new proposal will bring more burdens on the citizens of those countries who do not have a visa agreement with the US.

A foreign ministry official said last month in May this introduction was introduced that visa officials can ask for those details about their social media accounts, which they think they are ' More details will be received so that they can look more closely with national security. "

Approval of this proposal will be approved by the Office of Management and Budget. Before the decision on this, the public will get two months' breaks to say their own.
