Can USCIS question details from my social media accounts?

Yes, it can. In processes such as EB-2 NIW, the U.S. government takes the review of personal information seriously, and that includes what is publicly available on your social media. The main focus remains your qualifications and the relevance of your work, but USCIS has the authority to review public content and request clarifications whenever it deems necessary.

This review serves to confirm the integrity of the process, verify background information, and ensure consistency between what you declare and what appears about you publicly. It is not a reason to panic, but it is a good reason to be careful.

• Review what is public and check that it aligns with the information in your petition.
• Avoid contradictions between your online profile and the documentation you submitted.
• Maintain a consistent and transparent digital presence.

A consistent online conduct helps build a credible case. If you have questions about something specific in your profile, seek guidance from an immigration professional and verify information through official sources.
