The US Embassy in India has asked all F, M, and J visa applicants to make their social media accounts public. This will help officials check their background before giving visas. The rule applies to students and exchange visitors. Platforms like Facebook, X, TikTok, and LinkedIn will be reviewed. The US says this step is to protect national security and stop fraud. The move follows the restart of student visa processing after a short pause last month. Officials will look for posts that may be seen as anti-American. The rule is part of stricter checks under the Trump administration.
