More US Visa Applicants In The Philippines Required To Set Social Media Accounts Public

If you are about to apply for a United States visa, you should be ready to set your social media accounts public as a new requirement announced by the US Embassy in Manila came into effect which covers even more applicants, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news. Some parts in boldface…

Applicants from more US visa category groups are now required to set their social media accounts public, based on the latest advisory of the US Embassy in Manila.

Effective March 30, visa applicants who need to change their social media privacy setting belong to the following categories:

*    Fiancé(e) Visa Applicants (K-1, K-2, and K-3 visas)

*    Certain Personal Employees or Domestic Workers (A-3, C-3, and G-5 visas)

*    Trainee or Special Education Exchange Visitors (H-3 and their H-4 dependents)

*    Cultural and Religious Visitors (Q, R-1, and R-2 visas)

*    Informant, Witness, and Victims of Crimes (S, T, and U visas)

These categories are in addition to Students and Exchanges (F, M, and J) and Specialty Occupations (H-1B and their H-4 dependents) categories.

According to the embassy, it is using such information “to determine applicants’ eligibility to receive a visa.”

Since 2019, it said, the US has required visa applicants to provide social media usernames on immigrant and nonimmigrant visa application forms.

“Visa applicants are required to list all social media usernames, handles, or identifiers for every platform they have used in the last 5 years on the visa application form,” it said.

“Applicants certify that the information in their visa application is true and correct before they sign and submit,” it added.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Did you submit your social media accounts and set them all public the last time you applied for a US visa?

Israel Approves Proposal To Establish Permanent US Embassy In Jerusalem

Even as the fighting against the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran continues, a major proposal to build a permanent United States embassy in the eternal capital of Jerusalem was approved by Israel, according to a news report by The Jerusalem Post.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of The Jerusalem Post. Some parts in boldface…

Israel approved a proposal to allocate land at the Allenby Complex in Jerusalem for the construction of a permanent United States Embassy on Tuesday.

The approval was announced in a joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar, and Construction and Housing Minister Haim Katz.

Netanyahu, Sa’ar, and Katz described the building of the embassy as a “major diplomatic move” originally set in motion by US President Donald Trump’s “courageous and historic decision during his first term to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and relocate the US Embassy there.”

The establishment of the permanent embassy will serve as a “tangible, central, and long-term expression of the US’ commitment to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the resilience of the special relationship between the two countries,” the announcement statement continued.

Netanyahu, Sa’ar, and Katz additionally thanked US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee for his cooperation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for working to finalize the decision.

For additional insight, posted below are YouTube videos about the 2018 opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem.

Still in relation with the recent breakthrough, I share with the holy scripture below and I encourage you to pray to the Lord for the peace of Jerusalem.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]!

May peace be within your walls and prosperity within your palaces!

For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within you!

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek, inquire for, and require your good.

Psalm 122:6-9 (AMPC)
