The US Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago is advising all individuals applying for H1-B or H4 non-immigrant visas to set their social media accounts to “public” effective immediately.
In this new visa update, it said this is aimed at facilitating the necessary vetting process to verify applicants’ identity and admissibility to the United States under US law.
As such, applicants are urged to adjust their privacy settings to assist with this procedure.
An H-1B visa is a US non-immigrant visa allowing temporary employment of foreign workers in specialty occupations, while the H-4 Dependent Visa is issued to family members of H-1B visa holders, specifically spouses and unmarried children under 21.
