SEOUL: The US Embassy in Seoul resumed accepting applications for student and exchange visas but requested that applicants make any private social media accounts public, prompting some South Korean students pursuing studies in the US to seek the help of “digital undertakers”.
On June 20, the US Embassy in Seoul announced that it will resume taking in applications for its F, M and J non-immigrant visas, saying it will conduct “thorough vetting” of applicants’ presence on social media.
