The Donald Trump administration is tightening scrutiny of H-1B visa holders and and their H-4 dependents, ordering applicants to keep every social media profile set to “public.”
In a directive released Wednesday, the US State Department said that starting December 15 it will comb through the online activity of all H-1B applicants and their H-4 dependents — an expansion of measures that already applied to students and exchange visitors.
