U.S. Resumes Student Visa Interviews — With Stricter Social Media Rules 【簽證快訊】美國恢復學生簽證面試，新增嚴格社群媒體審查規定

📣 Flash News: The U.S. State Department has resumed student visa interviews — but with a twist. All F, M, J applicants must now set social media accounts to public for screening. Hostile content or refusal, i.e. possible visa denial. Taiwan families, take note!
📣 快訊：美國國務院恢復學生簽證面試 — 但前提是所有 F、M、J 類簽證申請者都要將社群媒體設為公開，以供篩查。若言論被視為「敵對」或拒絕公開，可能導致簽證遭拒。台灣家長請注意！

The U.S. State Department will soon resume student visa appointments (F, M, J categories) for international students—but with a significant new requirement:
All applicants must now make their social media accounts public for government screening. Any refusal to comply or posts deemed “hostile” could lead to visa denial.
This update comes at a critical time for students planning to begin studies in Fall 2025, especially those still preparing visa documents or waiting for interviews.
What applicants should do now:

• Review your child’s social media settings and posts
• Ensure all personal accounts listed on the visa application are accessible
• Monitor embassy announcements for local appointment availability
• Prepare alternative study plans in case of delay

Many U.S. universities depend on international enrollment, and these changes may affect student flow. Staying informed and proactive can help your family stay on track.

美國國務院即將正式恢復學生簽證面試預約（F、M、J 類），但同步推出新的重大要求：
所有簽證申請人需將社群媒體帳號設為公開，供官方背景審查。
若申請人拒絕配合，或帳號中出現被視為「敵對」的內容，可能導致簽證被拒。

這項新規定對於準備2025年秋季入學的學生來說時機關鍵，尤其是尚未取得簽證或等待預約通知者。

建議立即進行以下準備：

• 檢查申請者的社群帳號隱私設定與過去貼文內容
• 確保申請表上填寫的帳號可供查閱
• 持續關注美國在台協會（AIT）簽證預約開放情況
• 預留備案方案，以防簽證延誤影響就學時程

美國許多大學仰賴國際學生，此政策調整可能造成申請流程上的不確定性。保持資訊更新、提早準備，將有助於留學計畫順利進行。
