The US has reinstated student visas, but only...

The U.S. State Department has resumed the student visa process, which was suspended in May, but will now require students to consent to monitoring their social media usage.

According to the Associated Press, the US will review applicants' social media activity to determine whether they have an aggressive attitude toward the United States, its system of government, culture, national values, or institutions.

If an applicant does not provide access to their accounts, the visa application is likely to be denied. The State Department says that every visa decision is a matter of national security. Anyone seeking a visa must demonstrate that their visit to the United States is for the sole purpose of the visa.
