This rule is in force from 2019, but now the American Embassy has started implementing it vigorously. The shocking thing is that it is not enough to give social media username now, the profile will have to be kept in public visibility so that the Cancular officers can see the posts, likes, comments of the applicant.If a profile of the applicant is private, or he has removed it from the visa form, it will be assumed that he is hiding something and the result may be his visa application’s instant rejection or intelligence for future visas.
