On: US Visa Forms DS-160, 260 Has Social Media Questions Now – Samples

[Jedi72]

Yep, applying for a US visa now.

I wonder what the actual changes are, is someone in ICE stalking your FB looking for pro-Hillary memes or something? For anyone who actually needed a security clearance, they wouldn't need you to volunteer it.

I think it is more of a "perjury trap". If after admittance, they need a quick way to kick you out of the country they can dig into things and say you lied on the forms.

Why wouldn't you tell the truth?

Some people simply aren't going to remember every single social media account from the past five years. That's what makes it a potential "gotcha."

It potentially creates this scenario:

Missed one? You "lied." Buh-bye!

Is it correct to assume a Visa application is now just harder to fill out correctly?

For some things, if you tell the truth and something pops up you go into administrative limbo which could take a year to clear up due to backlog.
