The Department of Homeland Security will check the social networks of all immigrants, including those who have a residence permit, and naturalized citizens.

New norm, опубликованная in the Federal Register, calls for the inclusion of "names in social networks, nicknames, associated identity data, and search results" in files on immigrant affairs.

The new order will take effect on October 18 after the public hearing. The publication notes that the new rules may also affect US citizens who communicate with immigrants in social networks, thus personal correspondence may be under state supervision.

We note that in May, the Trump administration approved a new application form for visa applicants. In particular, the procedure for obtaining a visa will provide for the possibility of checking data from the social networks of the candidate over the past five years. Candidates will also be required to provide e-mail address and biography for 15 years.

Nevertheless, the new rule affects not only potential candidates for visas in the United States, but also those who have already received a green card or have undergone a process of naturalization.
