They would check. And if it turns out you have another email you didn't report, which is somehow linked to some other digital asset of yours, and therefore traceable, then you'd have a bigger problem.

They will not spend that much money looking at a Visa applicant. Shit, we barely spend that much time granting high security clearances.

Heard of software?

Yes. What software are they using at State / DHS to do this? Is it any good? Will it read Arabic? Russian? Do they have access to Llms? The answer is almost always no.

I guess I don’t really believe Palantir’s marketing?

The requirement forces you to keep the profile public when appearing for the interview at least.

Presumably if they find out that you have an account you didn't share, you're out.

They make applicants list the accounts and then check them.

And what if you don't list your social media accounts?

Then the applicant has defrauded the US. Lying on an immigration form is a criminal offense.

Yes. People don't take this seriously enough. I personally have known people who have been arrested and tried because of innocent things they did not disclose in their application. The charge is essentially "Lying to officials".

Of course, the US wanted them out for other reasons, but this is the simplest charge to bring against them.
