The US Embassy in India on Thursday asked all visa applicants to disclose all social media usernames and handles from the past five years for background checks. The Embassy said that violating this could lead to rejection of visas and ineligibility for future visas. “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,” the Embassy said in a statement on X. “Omitting social media information could lead to visa denial and ineligibility for future visas,” it added.
