I wonder why the US sees everyone who is not from the US as having a lower worth or being a lower class or something like that. Even the laws are constructed around that...

I’ve probably created at least 50 reddit throwaways in the past 5 years...the platform encourages it. No way I’d be able to remember them all, and I’m sure lots of other people are in the same boat.
I create random usernames/accounts all over the web. Rarely do they have the same names. I also regularly (yearly or so) scrap all of them and start again, sometimes deleting the account if it has that feature, other times just abandoning it and starting new ones. I've done this as long as online accounts have been a thing, even as far back as early IRC days. I honestly wouldn't have a clue what half the accounts I u…
What's scary to think about is whether you've associated your phone number (which they also ask for) or other PII with any of those old accounts. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine the government having an easier time figuring out your list of old accounts than you would.
I wonder what the actual changes are, is someone in ICE stalking your FB looking for pro-Hillary memes or something? For anyone who actually needed a security clearance, they wouldn't need you to volunteer it.
I literally could not fill this out without perjuring myself. They say you need to list even unknown/closed/deleted accounts for the last five years. I don't know them all. This either feels like an out of touch attempt by an older generation who doesn't understand social media (only uses Facebook, etc), or a huge honey trap tricking people into inadvertently "lying" to the USG. They can then use these mistakes to th…
Can someone familiar with the Visa process describe other personal information that is required so that we can compare the level of invasiveness?
This is a HUGE step up. There's nothing even ballpark like this. It is essentially de-anonymizing anonymous internet speech and then using it all against potential immigrants. It also may punish people for not providing information they may no longer even have (e.g. old accounts).
This is like a 10/10 in privacy invasion, the old process was like a 4/10. The medical is likely the most invasive but the doctor only gives them specific information about diseases.

of course, this is inarguably the case. they are also attempting to change the deportation rules for temporary residents to where you have to prove you haven't left the country in two years (which they can always claim is not proved to their level of acceptability). dark times.

> a huge honey trap to get people to even unintentionally "lie" so the USG can revoke anyone who enters the country's status at any time for any reason (super dangerous). of course, this is inarguably the case. they are also attempting to change the deportation rules for temporary residents to where you have to prove you haven't left the country in two years (which they can always claim is not proved to their level o…
Yep, applying for a US visa now. I wonder what the actual changes are, is someone in ICE stalking your FB looking for pro-Hillary memes or something? For anyone who actually needed a security clearance, they wouldn't need you to volunteer it.
