DS-160 Questions

[atiredshadow 0]

Hello!

To be perfectly clear: I am not in the process yet, I am just looking through everything and preparing things in advance as I am an anxious person and want to sort things out and have things ready beforehand.

I'm a Canadian citizen and thus have never had to file a DS-160 before, so seeing all the questions are very overwhelming. I have a few questions about things, specifically the social media aspect:

1. I understand that you must list all social media from the last five years of the date of the application, including deleted accounts. How would I go through listing accounts that I don't know the username of? I have been searching through my emails and found as many usernames as I can, but there are some that I don't have the username for and no longer have access to because they have been deleted.

2. For both active and deleted accounts, do you have to give only the current username (or last username used at deletion) or must you list all previous handles used? This is a problem for me as I don't remember all of the handles I've ever used and won't be able to access past username changes for deleted accounts.

3. This is probably a really silly question, but in the situation that you had an old account, deleted it, and then made a new account with the same username, would you list the account twice or note that you've had two accounts with this username, or just list the username and call it a day?

Thank you in advance for reading this and dealing with my anxious questions!

I'd probably list it once if it's the same username.
