The United States Mission in Nigeria has announced that all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas must now adjust their social media account’s privacy settings to public.
F, M, and J visas are nonimmigrant visa categories issued by the US government for individuals coming to the country for educational and exchange purposes.
The development was announced via the United States Diplomatic Mission Nigeria’s official X page on Monday, noting the update was effective immediately.
According to the post, the change is meant to complement vetting efforts aimed at determining applicants’ identities and their admissibility to the United States.
