F, M, and J visa applicants to US must make social media accounts public, says Indian embassy
The United States Monday announced a new requirement for all individuals applying for F, M, or J non-immigrant visas: they must adjust the privacy settings on all their personal social media accounts to 'public'. The move is aimed at enhancing national security through more thorough vetting procedures. 'Every visa adjudication is a national security decision. 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' to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States,' the US Embassy in India (@USAndIndia) said in a post on X. In a follow-up slide in the same post, the embassy noted that the US has already been requiring all visa applicants to provide social media identifiers on both immigrant and non-immigrant visa forms. It added that this data is used in visa screening and vetting processes to identify those who may pose a threat to US national security and would therefore be deemed inadmissible. Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media accounts to public to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States… — U.S. Embassy India (@USAndIndia) June 23, 2025 The change comes amid the imposition of a new travel ban by the US government, which now completely restricts citizens from 12 countries and partially restricts those from seven others. These restrictions cover access to non-immigrant visas, including those for tourism, education, and employment, and are primarily aimed at countries in the Middle East and Africa considered high-risk for security and terrorism-related concerns. However, Indian nationals are not affected by the new travel ban. Despite ongoing tensions in parts of the Middle East, the US has clarified that India is not on the list of countries facing the restrictions. Applications from Indian citizens across categories, including B1/B2 tourist visas, H1B work permits, and F1 student visas, continue to be processed. India, now the largest source of international students in the US for the first time since 2008-09, had over 3.31 lakh students enrolled in American universities in 2024, overtaking China.

Armed men attack participants of procession in Bhopal, 20-year-old stabbed to death
A 20-year-old was killed after a group of armed assailants attacked him and others while they were taking part in a religious procession in Bhopal on Sunday night. According to police, Yuvraj Banskar, who lived with his family in Bhopal and was originally from Lalitpur district in Uttar Pradesh, was stabbed to death. Two others, Rohit Sen and Sanju Verma, were also attacked. Police have arrested one accused, identified as Piyush Soni. A senior police officer said, 'The main accused, Piyush Soni, was arrested on the basis of the statement of eyewitnesses. Two other men have been arrested. We are on the lookout for other accused persons as well.' According to police, the attack took place during a Shobha Yatra procession organised by the Yuva Hindu Utsav Samiti. The procession, which started from Sindhi Colony and was going towards Mata Mandir Square, was reportedly disrupted when armed men suddenly attacked people who were dancing to DJ music. The ensuing chaos left three young men severely injured. Yuvraj subsequently succumbed to his injuries. Following the incident, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh of the Congress and the party's state president Jitu Patwari visited Hamidia Hospital on Monday, where they met Yuvraj's family and offered their condolences. The leaders also raised concerns about the law and order situation in the city. Addressing senior police officers at the spot, Singh said, 'It is forbidden to carry any kind of weapon during a rally. Will you take action if I show you photos and videos of people carrying weapons ?' Sanju, who was a friend of Yuvraj's and was also injured in the attack, recounted the incident. 'We were dancing during the rally. Then someone else pushed Piyush, but he grabbed my collar. I slapped him. As we were leaving, he returned with his gang and attacked us. That's when Yuvraj died,' Sanju said.

Tharoor praises PM: Shashi calls Modi 'prime asset'; hails his 'energy, dynamism and willingness to engage'
Shashi Tharoor with PM Modi. (IANS photo) NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi , saying his energy, dynamism and willingness to engage remains a 'prime asset' for India globally. These remarks could strain his relationship with Congress party leadership. Tharoor made these comments in an article in the Hindu and it comes at a time when Congress has been critical of PM Modi government's foreign policy decisions. The party has alleged that Indian diplomacy is being 'shattered' and the country stands 'isolated' globally. Tharoor's supportive stance towards the PM appears to conflict with his party's position, potentially widening existing rifts between him and Congress leadership. Tharoor acknowledged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vigour and diplomatic engagement remain valuable for India internationally, though requiring additional support. These comments, made on Monday, might create tension within his party and further strain his relationship with its leadership. The timing of Tharoor's commendation is notable, as it comes when the Congress has consistently criticised the Modi government's foreign policy, claiming that Indian diplomacy is deteriorating and the nation faces international isolation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 미만이라면 이 매혹적인 게임을 하지 마세요 경복의 바다 게임 플레이 Undo In his article, Tharoor highlighted that the diplomatic efforts following 'Operation Sindoor' demonstrated national unity and successful communication.
