he was coming to live in the US as a student, not just visit.
It is offensive in this case because it wasn't anything he did that lost him the visa, just social media connections said.
More generally, I know that my social media is important to my wife's visa in a completely different country, and the government may interview our friends and family. (I view it as offensive, invasive; but it does normal that the government would indeed interrogate perhaps excessively immigrants, even temporary ones)
- masonic 7y agoit wasn't anything he did that lost him the visa You don't know that, nor does the NYT, not does the Crimson. None of these reporters saw any of the social media activity firsthand, nor do they claim to in the articles. My guess is that he "liked" text or image(s) that for some reason raised concern.
