Frequently asked questions

1. Can immigration officers really check my social media?

Yes, they can—and often do. Agencies like USCIS and CBP are authorized to review publicly available social media accounts to evaluate eligibility, flag potential fraud, or identify security concerns. In fact, in 2024 alone, over 2,000 secondary inspections included officer notes referencing “online activity concerns.”

2. What types of posts typically cause trouble?

Posts that raise red flags often include support for controversial protests (like pro-Palestine activism), strong political criticisms, offensive jokes or memes—even if old—and negative comments about immigration policies. These have, in some cases, led to visa denials or deportations.

3. I already have a valid visa/green card. Am I still at risk?

Yes—you’re still at risk. Having a visa or green card doesn’t make you immune. In fact, deportations and re-entry denials after approval went up by 38% last year. Your online presence matters just as much after you're approved—so stay sharp.

4. What platforms do you check during the screening?

Publicly visible data is typically reviewed from platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, and YouTube. More platforms are continuously added based on flagged cases and evolving immigration trends.

5. How fast will I get my report?

Most reports are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Urgent requests can be accommodated upon request.

6. Is my screening confidential?

Yes. Your screening report is private and not shared with any third party. Your account access remains untouched — only public data is analyzed.
