As a result, the Foreign Ministry teaches consular sections in order to add an additional appointment capacity of additional students or visitor ISA until further instructions have been issued, “preparing for the expansion of the required screening and review work on social media,” says e -mail.

In the e -mail there is no which additional steps are involved in the stricter social media -screening process, but that consular offices were instructed to refer certain students and visitor applicants to fraud prevention in order to receive an “obligatory social media check”.
The Foreign Ministry did not immediately answer a request for comments from FOX News Digital to the existing social media guidelines for applicants.
In the meantime, Rubio told the legislator on May 20 that he would expect the Foreign Ministry to have pulled thousands of Visa since January after the President Donald Trumps Introduction. This is of the 300 that the government had revoked at the end of March.
Rubio also said that his agency would continue to attract student visa and explains that a visa is not a right that it was a “privilege”.
“I don’t know the latest count, but we probably have more to do,” Rubio told the Senate legislators to supervise external affairs. “We will continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and disturb our university facilities.”
In the meantime, Democrats have said that the efforts of the Trump government to revoke Visa represents a violation of the proper procedure.
“I think it is a fundamental attack on freedom, because the proper procedure is the guardian of the gate to prevent a government from taking away the life or freedom of people, and freedom happens when they take away a visa without proper procedures,” said Senator Jeff Merkley, D-OR, RUBIO on May 20.
A student visa enables those outside the United States to study in an academic facility in the country for a certain time. In contrast, a green card enables a person in the USA who is not an American citizen to stay in the country.
