    Well, that isn't quite what I said... This is a waste of time for USCIS. 
     
    We also don't yet know where the line would be drawn on anti-Trump posts. Of course I'm looking at a worst case scenario here, but let's be real, it's not too far fetched to imagine being rejected because you've posted some creative profanities alongside a photo of Trump.

    April 25 2018: EAD update: 'we are producing your card and will mail it to you'
     
    Received the alert at 5:20 this morning. Is this too early to crack out the wine?! Now let's see if they mail it to my new address or to the old one.

    This is an interesting topic and I see benefits to scouring social media, however...
     
    People who want to harm U.S. are simply not going to list their "terrorist" social media accounts, but would just submit separate social media accounts that make them seem normal.  They are not going to list email addresses that they've used for nefarious purposes.  Etc.  Bad actors are always one step ahead.
     
    Thus, this just potentially creates more wait time and potential problems for the rest of us.  
     
    And if they haven't already started, the next step could be to request access to social media accounts, etc. of the U.S. petitioner.  And then require access to internet browsing data from beneficiary and petitioner.
     
    And those who support the current White House administration should keep in mind that it will eventually change and at some point there will certainly be a more liberal administration that might not think kindly of some of your social media posts.  I'm a bit surprised that so many of you have so much faith in the government handling this info.
     
    This is not to say that I'm totally against this policy, but I think it's not so clear cut.

    The whole botched war in Iraq is a discussion that needs its own thread. That whole thing was disaster.

    What if they see I attended the Women's March and then that puts me on a list of potential troublemakers? What if I've posted in support of abortion and that goes against their morals? What if I have an Instagram full of photoshopped pics of Trump getting pissed on and they're not in the mood to laugh that day? Point is, they need to say what exactly they'll be using this info for, and who will be making those judgement calls. 
     
    ETA: Sorry, I just think a criminal background check is good enough, and social media monitoring is already ongoing and managed by other agencies. It doesn't belong in this process, it's too intrusive.

    This is too much. Any social media posts that pose any threat to the country should already be monitored. I'd like to know what would be a 'red flag' to them. Anything anti-Trump? Would that be a reason for denial?
     
    And if someone was posting anything 'dangerous', I can't imagine they'd voluntarily give up that username.
     
    Waste of time.
