YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUSCIS often investigates asylum applicants using open-source intelligence, including what you post online. 🕵️♂️ That means your public social media accounts are absolutely part of the review. 📱 Officers may look for anything they can label as a security concern, inconsistency, or justification to deny your case. ⚠️ Based on my experience inside the asylum office and now as an asylum lawyer, I believe they are often looking for excuses rather than reasons to approve. 🔍 You should lock down your accounts, use maximum privacy settings, avoid accepting friend requests from strangers, and avoid posting anything even remotely controversial, including criticism of the U.S. government. 🔒 For help protecting your asylum case, send me the word “consult” in a direct message. 📩
