“Extreme Vetting”

The proposal would be a significant step toward the “extreme vetting” of immigrants that President Trump promised to implement.

The new rule, if approved, would apply to “immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants who have been determined to warrant additional scrutiny in connection with terrorism or other national security-related visa ineligibilities.”

Among the new questions would be requesting social media profiles from the last five years — the first time that will be used in the application process — prior passport numbers, greater detail about family members, and longer personal history, including travel, employment, and residence for the last 15 years, instead of the last five that applicants are asked for now.
