BREAKING: US Mandates Visa Applicants To Disclose Social Media History by lekanolas(op): 12:13pm On Aug 18, 2025
The United States government has announced a new requirement for all visa applicants to disclose their social media activity covering the past five years.

In a statement posted on X by the U.S. Mission in Nigeria, applicants are expected to provide all usernames or handles they have used across different social media platforms within that period when completing the DS-160 visa application form.

The Mission emphasized that applicants must certify the accuracy of the information provided before signing and submitting their forms.

It further cautioned that failure to comply with the directive could lead to visa denial and possible ineligibility for future applications.

The post reads, “Visa applicants are required to list all social media usernames or handles of every platform they have used from the last 5 years on the DS-160 visa application form.

“Applicants certify that the information in their visa application is true and correct before they sign and submit. Omitting social media information could lead to visa denial and ineligibility for future visas.”

I'm definitely reporting some monikers and their real identities to the US consulates.
You can be saying rubbish about the United States and still want to get into the country in search of greener pastures.

I agree with you. You can't be saying stuffs against the US and decide that you want to go there.
I think it is hypocritical.

APC members beware.

The amnesty international has noticed that over 60% of asylum escapees seeking refuge in western countries are majorly Muslims. One now wonders why Muslims usually like to seek refuge in haram countries of infidels instead of fellow Islamic countries like where they are accustomed to living 🤔

Isn't it hypocritical? undecided

If you fight with a mad man; whether you win or he wins, the disgrace remains with you.

For that reason, I will ignore you, since you have more basic struggles.

Okay, so it's not really an asylum thing abi? It's a ruse to dominate the religious population of the said country they are flocking into? 🤔
