The United States has implemented more rigorous assessment criteria for H-1B visa candidates, particularly those in tech, social media, and finance. Consular officers are now directed to examine applicants' resumes and online activities for any ties to censorship, content moderation, disinformation management, or similar practices.
Individuals found to engage in restricting free speech rights within the US could be classified as ineligible. This policy is applicable to both new and returning applicants.
This action highlights a growing emphasis on free expression and seeks to tackle worries regarding the alleged suppression of conservative viewpoints on digital platforms. It builds on previous enhancements in visa scrutiny, including those for student visas, and coincides with new H-1B fee measures.
Republican officials contend that the strengthened vetting process is a response to what they perceive as ongoing efforts by some entities to suppress or limit online discourse in critical areas like elections and public health.
