Don’t ask why you weren’t granted a visa afterward: new warning from the U.S. Embassy

The U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic has warned all visa applicants that violating a series of measures announced by the entity could result in the denial of a U.S. visa.

“Omitting social media information from your application could result in visa denial and ineligibility for future U.S. visas,” the agency emphasized.

The official statement clarified that applicants must list and present each social media platform they have used over the past five years, providing their usernames for each.

If the applicant has not used social media in the last five years, they can indicate this on the platform. However, the Embassy reiterated that falsifying this information will result in the permanent denial of a US visa.

In another sense, the entity emphasized that remaining in the U.S. beyond the authorized time can result in deportation and a possible permanent ban from future entry.
