The United States has started social media screening for all H-1B visa applicants and their H-4 dependents from December 15. The rule requires applicants to keep their social media accounts public for review. US officials say the move aims to identify people who may pose security or safety risks. Indians are likely to be the most affected, as they make up over 70 percent of H-1B visa holders. Many visa interviews in India have been rescheduled, leaving workers stranded. Immigration lawyers warn the delays could lead to job losses and long work disruptions. (PC: HT)
