The United States Mission in Nigeria has announced that all applicants for F, M, and J non-immigrant visas must now adjust their social media account’s privacy settings to “public.” F, M, and J visas are non-immigrant visa categories issued by the US government for individuals coming to the country for educational and exchange purposes.
The mission stated that applicants in those categories must now set their personal social media profiles to public, as part of a new visa requirement. The development was announced via the United States Diplomatic Mission Nigeria’s official X page on Monday, noting that the update took effect immediately. “Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J non-immigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their personal social media accounts to ‘public,'” the post read.
