US Visa (K1, CR1, B2, all) Requires Social Media Disclosure gen99

[@nemeseax7123]

My husband and me have totally locked FB profiles and don’t like to share ANYTHING from our private lives.

[@Visacoach]

Since you have already gotten your spouse to the USA, then the requirement for social media disclosure will not affect you, regardless of you usage of social media.

[@nemeseax7123]

I know but I believe there are some people like us but still in immigration process. What would be your advice for them?

[@Visacoach]

My three tips are shown towards end of the video.

[@markwilson4037]

What if there is NO social media for one of the parties? Yes there are some who do not use social media. Thx

[@Visacoach]

That may be a problem. It may be hard to believe that one does not use social media, and saying that one does not, may appear suspicious. Best policy is to tell the truth.

[@Visacoach]

In USA this year about 79% of the population uses social media. So you are quite right there are plenty who do not.

was rejected for the previous appointment. While filling out the DS 160 form for the next appointment, the previous passport was lost and since it was destroyed in the washing machine, the visa officer may have thought that I threw it in the washing machine on purpose. Can I answer this question just because it was lost? Could it be possible for the next appointment? Does it record? Will there be any problem if we change some things in the second

[@Visacoach]

US immigration understands that sometimes travel documents are lost or stolen or in your case destroyed. You honestly explain circumstances, and of course you will be providing information on your destroyed and current passports.

How are they going to request passwords too? Isn’t that invading people’s privacy? That’s absurd. Unbelievable. We have rights right Visa Coach? Also Visa Coach, is this just for the applicant or applicant and the petitioner? Thanks in advance.

[@Visacoach]

How? the same way they get user names and media. They just ask, after making a factual answer a required step in order to get the immigration benefit being sought. Right to privacy, and right to immigration benefit are not the same. Currently the foreign beneficiary is the one asked to pony up his social media details.

[@EvansKwenja-hw2th]

My uncle(mom’s father) also have visited USA but didn’t stay there for long as he had business here. My mom was varsity professor at history dept.

Hi sir thank you for this video as always 🙂 I'm more than happy to show them our social media history. My question, is this going to take effect for new applicants or it also affects previous applicants? We applied since last year. Thank you!

[@Visacoach]

The DS160 or DS260 if already submitted does not need to be resubmitted. I imagine that the consulate will decide case by case whether to place a case on hold after the interview to ask for social media. As this is a new development, it is unknown exactly what the policy will be for cases already in the pipeline before the modifications to the online forms were implemented.

[@Visacoach]

Sorry to hear that. In such a case the way to proceed is to view this as merely a single lost battle within the context of a war, a temporary setback. One regroups, reassesses and reapplys. This time incoporating what was learned to make your case stronger, more presentable, more believable. And if your case was a Do It yourself one, you realize what your limitations are, and this time engage professional help like mine. Good luck.

[@Visacoach]

Yes, the marriage certificate is required, and must be a part of your application. However in putting together a successful application there is a lot of additional work to be done than just getting a single piece of paper. Most efficient is that we start on your case immediately and get ALL the other logistics out of the way at the same time your marriage certificate is in process. That way we will be ready to submit once it arrives. This brings your spouse to the USA much sooner than to wait for the document, and THEN start to do the other required actions. Anyway whenever you are ready, I am ready too.

[@biggestbroccoli]

Will my case be seen in a more negative light if I use little to no social media sites? Me and my fiance keep our social media usage very minimal, and it would be awful to be penalized for not being apart of these sites.

You are not required to use social media. However claiming that you do not use social media, when in fact you do, might cause problems. If on ANY level reviewers feel you have not been totally honest, your case could be denied.

[@Visacoach]

A successful Fiance or Spouse visa application requires convincing a consular officer that the underlying relationship is bona fide. When I work with my clients and they have "red flags" that lead the consular officer to be more suspicious than normal, I spend time with the couple to get to know their situation, their full story, and help them submit evidences, that overcome the suspicions caused by "red flags". This is a complicated process, it is more "Art" then "Science". You should ask your fiance to reach out to me for help in preparing and guiding the two of you through your case's progress.

Are you asking if the closing of your face book account may be a problem? Perhaps it will be. US immigration only recently began examining social media for all cases, it is too soon to tell how that will play out, how that will affect approvals, or cause denials. Significant age differences, and being from the land of 419 scammers, will also be red flags that will effect your case.

The fiance visa is for a SINGLE entry. If you leave before the wedding you have to apply for another fiance visa in order to return. If you leave after the wedding but before approved for advance parole or permanent residency, you have to apply for a spouse visa in order to return.
