Policy change in effect

Every applicant. Five years of history.
Public profiles required.

As of December 15, 2025, the State Department requires F, M, J, H-1B and H-4 applicants to make their social media accounts public for review. Incomplete disclosure can lead to refusal under INA 221(g) — or a finding of misrepresentation.

What the policy requires of you

  • Set every profile to public before your interview
  • List all usernames from the past 5 years on the DS-160
  • Keep your full post history accessible
  • Leave group memberships and connections visible

What officers are trained to review

  • Posts, comments, likes and reshares
  • Photos, videos and tagged media
  • Friends, followers and group affiliations
  • Political and religious content in context

How it works

From data export to a
fix-list in four steps.

No monitoring, no subscriptions — one thorough review when you need it.

01

Export your data

Request your archives from Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube. Step-by-step instructions for every platform.

02

Upload securely

Files are encrypted in transit, processed only in your session, and deleted once your report is generated.

03

We review like an officer

Posts, comments, likes and memberships are graded against the criteria consular officers are trained to flag.

04

Act on a clear fix-list

A severity-ranked report tells you precisely what to delete, what to make private, and what to leave alone.

VisaProfileScan caught 12 posts that could have jeopardized my H-1B. The guidance was specific — keep, hide, delete — not vague warnings.
Sarah ChenSOFTWARE ENGINEER · H-1B
Years of political-science coursework posts had me worried. The report told me which were fine and which needed context. Visa approved.
Ahmed HassanGRADUATE STUDENT · F-1
Thorough, fast, and it respects your time. The best money I spent in the entire visa process.
