Us on students visa: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered American embassies worldwide not to set new interviews for student-visa applicants, as the Trump administration is considering increasing the social media profile investigation.
According to a report by News Agency Politico, Marco Rubio said that with immediate effect in preparation for the necessary social media investigation and expansion of the investigation, the consulate sections should not be a visa appointment of any additional student or exchange visitor (FM and J) till further guidelines are issued.
Instructions sent to diplomats around the world
These instructions of US Secretary of State have been sent to diplomats around the world. This is being linked to the efforts to restrict the entry of foreign students into the US. It is reportedly said to contribute to the claims in which the Jewish atmosphere is being said.
Palestine extended strictness over protests
According to the cable report, permission has been given to pursue the pre -determined interview. Amid reports, the US government has responded to sharing a link where students can apply for visa. However, Rubio’s comment has brought a new interview for student visas. Earlier, social media screening was implemented only for students who participated in pro -Palestine protests.
Although the cable does not clearly mention what the social media investigation will be in future, it means the executive orders that are against terrorism and anti-Jewish spirit. The officials have investigated the students on the basis of their social media. For example, if there are pictures of Palestinian flag in someone’s X account, does this mean that the student will have to undergo additional investigation?
