"The United States will resume processing visa applications for foreign students but requires social media accounts for review, aimed at ensuring comprehensive vetting."
"Consular officers will review social media to assess students for any signs of hostility towards U.S. cultural and governmental principles."

This regulation aims to enhance screening processes by identifying any signs of hostility towards U.S. principles.

The urgency is palpable as students scramble for visa appointments ahead of the academic term.
