Скачать или смотреть U.S. to start social media vetting for H-1B and H4 visa seekers

The United States will begin expanded social media and online presence vetting for H-1B visa applicants and their H-4 dependents starting December 15, according to the U.S. Embassy. The move is aimed at strengthening security checks and ensuring applicants comply with visa rules.

As a result, visa interview appointments from mid-December onward are being widely rescheduled, with delays stretching several months in some cases. The changes come amid tighter H-1B policies, including a recently announced fee hike. Indian professionals, who form the majority of H-1B holders, are expected to be most affected.
