You will need to disclose social network accounts for getting a US visa, but not everyone

The administration of US President Donald Trump has tightened US visa rules. Applying for a visa also involves checking the applicant's social media. Reuters reports.

The new, complicated questionnaire was endorsed by the Trump Administration's Office of Management and Budget on May 23, even though the initiative was widely criticized by education officials.

Immigration lawyers say that a detailed request for a piece of 15-year biographical information will "catch up" with visa applicants who may not remember what social media accounts they had for the last five years and that they were mistaken. "The new questionnaire allows the Consul to arbitrarily decide who should be allowed to enter America before he has," said San Francisco lawyer Babac Youssefzada, adding that the US had the most stringent visa conditions so far and no more complications were needed...
