US Demands 5-year Social Media History For Visa Applicants From Nigeria
The US government has mandated that visa applicants from Nigeria must provide their social media usernames and handles used in the last five years on their visa application forms. This directive is part of the Department of State's enhanced screening measures to bolster national security.
Failure to disclose this information could result in visa denial or potential ineligibility for future applications. Applicants are required to list all social media usernames used on every platform over the past five years and certify the accuracy of this information on their visa application forms.
Omitting this information may lead to visa denial or future ineligibility. The announcement was made via the official Facebook page of the US Mission in Nigeria.
