hang on a second . . .
vern, is your s.o. not a federal employee - with the state dept ?

And your point is?

Why? It's in the interest of any country to have as much information on people coming in as possible.

Perso ally they need to ask for eToll bills for several years.. can’t show it and live in Gauteng, well then don’t bother. Why? Because if you dodging tax here you will likely do the same elsewhere


Social media.. I dunno. This looks like political preselection..

They're asking for usernames, not making you accept a friend request from Trump.

There are lots of stupid people in the world who share too much info on social media. I certainly would raise an eyebrow towards people who posted lots of anti-American material on social media and yet applied to work there.

You mean like Trump? Oversharing and anti-American. Republicans in general not far behind.

I'm not dodging tax. I'm rejecting injustice and extortion.

When I applied for my BP, i cleaned up my social media and unfollowed a few chaps...

Not yet.

There's a difference between Facebook, Google, or Twitter using your personal information to target ads at you and a government agency using it to discriminate against you.

Social media stuff can land you in jail in SA. So what is the problem?

I mean they are hardly the only country to do this,
the Israelis do something similar to people who are flagged, even ask them to log in to FB on one of their computers before entering Israel

so again why the fuss? if your a rabid racist, you dont deserve to enter the US.

Their house their rules

Anyone who lies about their social media use could face "serious immigration consequences"

LOL

People play any system. Dedicated folks will spend months and years on photoshop buidling up a perfect social media profile to charm the Americans.

Doesnt seem to have stopped Donald Trump getting in .
