US student visa interviews resume but students must unlock social media
The United States has resumed US student visa interview appointments for international students but with a new requirement: applicants must make their social media profiles public.
The new condition affects all applicants for F, M, and J visas, including students from the Cayman Islands. As of 2024, 439 Caymanian students were enrolled in US institutions, either on campus or online, according to the Ministry of Education.
The expanded vetting measures, announced in a US State Department media note and a separate cable released on Wednesday, are framed as a national security enhancement. Under the new policy, students must adjust their privacy settings on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) to ensure consular officers can view their content.
