I applied for a security clearance ages ago, before social media, and I could understand the gotcha style questions and background stuff when applied to a security clearance.
I didn't expect anyone to honestly answer the question about if they had ever been a member of an organization dedicated to overthrowing the US government... but I understood why it was there.
This, this is just dumb and seems like it would produce nothing but bad will.
Can someone familiar with the Visa process describe other personal information that is required so that we can compare the level of invasiveness?
Were you a member of the Nazi party?
Have you participated in a genocide, or attempted genocide?
Have you attended a public school in the US as a foreigner after 199x, without paying?
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…

For my fiancée, she deleted her facebook a long time ago, and she never paid attention to the username. We just made a best attempt at guessing the “user name”
I do feel a little for my relatives because I've claimed my last name on a decent number of platforms.
I guess this will be the end of traveling to the US after my current VISA expires. This is beyond reasonable. My accounts are all public but I cannot condone such policies.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> 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…
That's even more ridiculous given the level of surveillance on the outbound side they have these days. There's no way someone could leave the country and then re-enter without CBP knowing.

When we look at world history, how often do you see governments and their agencies pining for a connection to the people they serve, vs. ascribing to themselves the power to arbitrarily enforce life-ruining rules?
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...
