Questions, answered.

Since June 2025, the U.S. State Department requires consular officers to review every F1 applicant's social media before the interview. Indian applicants are being refused at 61%, the highest rate in a decade. The interview is no longer where you get rejected; the digital review is. This audit shows you what the officer will see and gives you a chance to fix what is fixable, before they see it.

The audit itself runs in a few minutes once your data is uploaded. The cleanup work that follows (deleting, editing, unfollowing) is the real time investment, and it varies depending on what we find. Most users finish the cleanup over a focused weekend. Run the audit well before your interview so you have time to act on the results.

Yes. All traffic is TLS 1.3 encrypted. Data is stored on SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure. Your data is used only to run your audit. We never sell it, share it, or use it to train AI models. Your audit data and uploaded exports are auto-deleted 90 days after your audit completes. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, LinkedIn, and Reddit are scanned automatically from your data export ZIPs. WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord have no usable export, so we give you a platform-specific checklist to run through on your phone. Those are the nine platforms that matter for F1 vetting.

No. Be skeptical of anyone who promises this. Your visa decision depends on many factors: your finances, your school choice, your interview performance, the country-specific approval rate, and the individual officer who reviews your case. What this audit guarantees is that your social media will not be the thing that sinks you. We eliminate the digital risk surface so the rest of your application can stand on its own.

You can absolutely do this yourself. The audit is faster (74 risk categories scanned in minutes versus hours of self-review), more systematic (pattern matching plus AI review against documented rejection patterns, not just your gut), and more honest (you know what your past self posted; we surface what you have forgotten). If you have already done a thorough self-review and feel good about it, you may not need this. Most applicants do not.
