Updating depends on the person who does the data entry

you are in Iraq and were asked to do ds5535 and this document takes extensive security checks especially since you deleted your social media

they still have to research and find what was deleted so i would think your AP will be long

all you can do is wait as all this has happened in August

Thank you

Why did you delete all your social media profiles? That would raise questions about whether you're worried what USCIS might find on them.

Actually I deleted them because my fiancé wanted me to delete them I didn’t have anything to hide I tried to get them back but I couldn’t 

my question is that in the ds160 None was chosen for my social media 

then i mentioned my social media identifiers in the ds5535 before I deleted them and told them i had and I’ve deleted them long time ago but less than five years 

would that be considered as misrepresentation?

always read the instructions as you will see that if extra information is needed use a separate sheet to explain

 

• If you are unsure of the answer to a question, please provide a response to the best of your knowledge. For example, if you are unsure of an exact address, provide the city, state, and street name if you can recall them. U.S. Department of State will consider all the information derived from the form in its entirety. • Failure to answer every question will not necessarily preclude visa issuance, as the application is considered in its entirety. • If you believe a particular question does not apply to you or your circumstances, please write "not applicable" or "N/A." • If you need more space to respond to a question, please write the rest of your response on a separate sheet of paper. • Aside from your name, date of birth, and visa classification, please only provide information not included in your current visa application. For example, if all of your children are listed in your current visa application (Form DS-160 or DS-260), you do not need to list them again.

 

Explain that your attorney answered no to the question as you told him u had deleted all social media

 

 

but the DS 5535 wants last 5 years

and then explain how you were able to keep in contact with your fiancee without social media as that will be the next issue/ i know there is a drop down list but they ask for all social media as these instructions say :

 

Please provide your unique user name for any websites or applications you have used to create or share content (photos, videos, status updates, etc.) as part of a public profile within the last five years. (You do not need to list accounts designed for use by multiple users within a business or other organization.)

 

By definition :

 

Social media are interactive computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.^[1][2] Users usually access social media services via web-based technologies on desktops and laptops, or download services that offer social media functionality to their mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets)

Yea my attorney chose none to the question of social media but then wen i got ds5535 and i was asked again about my social media then i gave them my identifiers of my social media before I deleted them , would they consider that as a misrepresentation because my attorney chose none in the ds160? Or not

Im sorry, I don’t see a timeline and would not want to give you advice as Im not familiar with your form.

I would ask on your sub forum. 

Most answers are given based on the information you provide. If you want an accurate response than filling your timeline and submitting a new post would likely give you the most accurate information from the most knowledgeable on here and the opinions of others that have went before you. 

Good luck my friend. 

I don’t understand wat do u mean

We submitted the new ds 160 and it asks for screen names for any of the major social media sites. Not really much to it and a small section on the form itself. 

We put in his FB, Reddit, and any other.  You have went through the whole process and want it to be private? 

It does not ask for passwords and such so I don’t get the reasoning as the Affidavit of Support and packet is much more in depth. 

I understand wanting your privacy but privacy does not exist much in this process which is understandable with what we are asking. 

Good luck on your journey but I would definitely redo ds 160 for the visa. 

We all have a decision and hope the best for the both of you. 

I would not risk it. We are at Interview stage but they may ask the same thing everyone else here is. 

 

 

Hey guys i hope all u doing well 

i have question .. my attorney chose to put “none” in my online ds160 for my k1 visa but after the interview i was asked through email to provide answers for questions that used be known as ds5535. Then I answered the questions and actually I answered about my social media accounts that I mentioned the identifiers of my accounts. So would they deny my visa? Cuz in initial form which is ds160 my attorney chose none and I mentioned my identifiers in ds5535 by the way my attorney asked me if i have any social media i told her I’ve deleted them

Just to clarify for anyone reading this and contemplating not filling in their social media details, if they have social media - please read the screenshot below. 

 

Do do you have social media? (Yes or no). If you have not used social media within the last 5 years, select none. 

 

It does not, as any point, say ‘if you have not used social media within the last 5 years or if you just don’t fancy telling us about it, select none.’

 

If you select ‘none’ and you have social media, you just lied on your DS160. On one of the questions they use to conduct security checks. 

 

I would say that’s probably not a smart move - and if you are found out, it looks incredibly suspicious that you’ve chosen to keep that info secret (plus, if you lied there, how do I, the  interviewing officer, know if you’ve lied elsewhere in the form too?).

 

So yeah, please note that filling in that section is NOT OPTIONAL...and lying really isn’t recommended, for anywhere on your form, unless of course you want to be denied your visa.

What does “ last case updated “ mean if it updates literally everyday? Im put in AP because of my travel history.. i have been to Iran 9 times and to india 6 times and to Syria 3 times and these countries are suspicious. Would they deny me if i have been to these countries? Because they emailed me about my travel history lol

You must provide what they have asked for.  As you may know, nothing is ever "deleted" on the internet.

So i added my identifiers and platforms and told them I deleted my accounts long time ago. Actually, i gave them what they have asked me for. But will they retrieve my data ? If so it sounds great because I tried to get them back and I couldn’t 

Hi guys i hope ur good ...

I have ds 5535 and they asked me about my social media platforms and identifiers. Actually three months ago I’ve deleted all my social media because my fiancé didn’t want me to have and she didn’t have any social media. What should I write? Should i write N/A? Or I should write the identifiers before I deleted them? 

Please help me they want my social media used during the last five years 

But they didn’t send me anything yet i mean any question yet

Thank you. Yes, additional background checks would be the norm rather than the exception. It's just a waiting game for them to finish at this point. Best wishes.

Sounds like it went well, but there is additional processing to be completed before they can issue the visa.

I'm guessing the questions being asked are a DS-5535 (even if it isn't always labeled exactly as such) for background checks.

What country?

Iraq Baghdad 

Hello my friend.. i hope ur fine and doing well. 

My interview was on August. All the documents were fine. I gave them what they asked me about. Then my name was called by the consular officer to the interview. The consular asked me some questions about me and my fiancé. She kept saying perfect and well done, then she gave a paper to print my name and sign it because she told me u will need it when you enter the usa. At the end of the interview, she gave me a white paper it says 221 g she told me we will send you questions through your email and after that it will take time and then we will provide you instructions how to do ur medical exam 

my case status is administrative process . Im really so worried about that! Is there any advice? And what does that all mean?
