US EditionHaving a US Visa Isn't Enough? US Embassy's Stern Warning ‘Will Deport If…’
INDIA, JUL 11 – The US Embassy requires public social media profiles from F, M, and J visa applicants and continues screening after visa issuance, with violations risking revocation or deportation.
- In a weekend advisory, the US Embassy in India stated that visa screening continues after issuance, with no attribution needed.
- Last month, the U.S. introduced more rigorous screening procedures for F, M, and J visa applicants, requiring disclosure of social media usernames used over the past five years.
- Recent digital advisories warn that unauthorised entry or misrepresentation could lead to detention, removal, and future visa bans, and that incomplete social media disclosures may result in visa denial and ineligibility.
- The U.S. Embassy India said on X that non-compliance would lead to visa revocation and deportation, and reminded applicants on June 19 that a US visa is 'a privilege, not a right.'
- Looking ahead, a newly introduced $250 'Visa Integrity Fee' effective from 2026 will apply across all non-immigrant visa categories, reflecting an intensified focus on curbing illegal immigration and strengthening vetting processes.
