Choosing not to provide social media information

[TeaOhEnWhy 4]

During visa scheduling processing, they ask for social media information if any. My beneficiary chose not to provide her social media information, her reasoning was she has been hacked in the past and therefore does not feel comfortable providing that information online. Is this okay or does it raise flags?

Seen from a 3rd person I definitely would think. What is she hiding?

That is my concern as well, that interviewer would see it that way, hopefully that can be cleared up during the interview.

Did she misrepresent the fact that she has social media identities?  What other information did she choose to refuse to submit?

Simply left the social media parts empty.

That's not so good.

They can not force her to divulge her social media details. Or any other information.

But you should still be honest that you have it if asked about it?

Thank you, for clarification application fee has already been paid and interview date schedule, just wondering if this will be brought up during the interview.

Something I learned a long time ago and it continues to be true today. He who has the gold makes the rules. You don't have the "gold"  and therefore you may face stiffer penalties from the one who has the gold.  

 

Oh I see you have another post about not understanding why you need to fill out a I-134 when "most" of that information is contained in the I-129f. Your building yourself a reputation.

They don't have to issue a visa when mandatory information is omitted.....I would expect there to be some questions......

My thought too. If left blank it invites for questions about it.

As noted, they cannot make you divulge any information. But at the same time, that doesn't mean there are no consequences either.

It will be interesting if they will treat it as non-disclosure or an affirmative "I don't have any" (which could be misrepresentation).

She doesn't have an issue with divulging that information at interview, did not want to provide it online.

But it's like geowrian says it how they look at they information being left out.
