U.S. Resumes Student Visa Interviews — With Stricter Social Media Rules

📣 Flash News: The U.S. State Department has resumed student visa interviews — but with a twist. All F, M, J applicants must now set social media accounts to public for screening. Hostile content or refusal, i.e. possible.

The U.S. State Department will soon resume student visa appointments (F, M, J categories) for international students—but with a significant new requirement:
All applicants must now make their social media accounts public for government screening. Any refusal to comply or posts deemed “hostile” could lead to visa denial.

This update comes at a critical time for students planning to begin studies in Fall 2025, especially those still preparing visa documents or waiting for interviews.
What applicants should do now:

Review your child’s social media settings and posts
Ensure all personal accounts listed on the visa application are accessible
Monitor embassy announcements for local appointment availability
Prepare alternative study plans in case of delay

Many U.S. universities depend on international enrollment, and these changes may affect student flow. Staying informed and proactive can help your family stay on track.
