The U.S. Department of State has officially expanded its online presence and public social media vetting requirements for nonimmigrant visa applicants.

Key developments you need to know:

● Mandatory Social Media Disclosure: Applicants must accurately report all social media identifiers, handles, and platforms used over the past 5 years on Form DS-160.

● Public Profile Mandate: Disclosed accounts must be set to "public" prior to consular interviews to facilitate review.

● Expanded Visa Coverage: Enhanced vetting now explicitly covers foreign media representatives (I), USMCA professionals (TN), and their dependents (TD), building on existing requirements for students (F/M), exchange visitors (J), and temporary workers (H).

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: DURATION OF STATUS RULE BLOCKED! 🚨

Great news for international students (F-1), exchange visitors (J-1), and media representatives (I)! A federal judge has just granted a nationwide preliminary injunction, officially blocking the DHS rule that would have eliminated the flexible "Duration of Status" (D/S) framework.

What this means for you right now:

✅ The restrictive fixed-time limit rule that was scheduled to take effect today is officially on hold.

✅ Your lawful stay continues to be governed by "Duration of Status" (D/S), meaning you can remain in the U.S. as long as you maintain your academic, exchange, or professional programs.

✅ For now, you do not need to file formal Extension of Stay applications (Form I-539) with USCIS just to continue your current program!

While the lawsuit continues, this is a major temporary victory that preserves stability for the immigrant community and higher education institutions. We will keep monitoring this case closely and provide
updates as they happen.

As you build your life and legacy here, we want to ensure you have the resources and guidance to protect it. If you have concerns about your immigration journey and need to plan ahead, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

🚨 Important Update for International Students, Exchange Visitors, and Media
Representatives.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has introduced a new rule that would end "Duration of Status" for F, J, and I visa holders. This is a significant shift impacting international students, exchange visitors, and media representatives by replacing the flexible "duration of status" with fixed time limits.

We have broken down the details of this policy change and how it might affect your current status. Under this new framework, visa holders will no longer be admitted for duration of status, but for a fixed period indicated on Form I-94 (up to 4 years for F/J visas and up to 240 days for I visas). Crucially, extending your program with your school official (DSO) or sponsor (RO) on your Form I-20 or DS-2019 will no longer automatically extend your legal status. Your Form I-94 expiration date is now the strict, governing deadline for your lawful
stay.

As you build your life and legacy here, we want to ensure you have the resources and guidance to protect it. Stay informed and learn more about what this means for your future here:

Did you know there is a crucial difference between a "Notario" in Latin America and
a "Notary Public" in the United States? This common confusion often leads to devastating immigration scams.

● In Latin America: A Notario Público is a highly trained legal professional with authority similar to an attorney.

● In the United States: A Notary Public is only authorized to verify identities, take oaths, and witness signatures.

● The Danger: A U.S. Notary Public cannot provide legal advice, fill out immigration forms, or represent you in court.

Don't put your legal status at risk by trusting unauthorized individuals. Rely on licensed professionals who have your best interests at heart, like Torregoza Legal PLLC, the law firm for immigrants, by immigrants.

Protecting your family from immigration fraud requires vigilance and independent
verification. Before hiring anyone for legal assistance or making a payment, watch out for these major warning signs:

● The individual demands payments via WhatsApp, Zelle, wire transfers, or direct
deposits to personal bank accounts.

● They guarantee a specific outcome, an expedited process, or claim to know a
"secret" legal pathway.

● They refuse to provide a formal, written retainer agreement or detailed official
receipts for your payments.

● They claim government agencies like USCIS or ICE will contact you via WhatsApp to demand money.

Remember, U.S. government agencies will never ask for payment via text message. Always verify your attorney's credentials before proceeding. Visit our official website at https://www.torregozalegal.com/ for secure contact methods.

Immigration lawyers and organizations nationwide are seeing a massive surge in sophisticated scams targeting immigrant communities. Scammers are using social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to impersonate trusted attorneys and exploit families during their most vulnerable moments.

Please be aware of these alarming tactics:

● Fraudsters frequently target families with loved ones recently detained by ICE, falsely claiming a bond has been approved.

● They demand immediate, untraceable payments—often ranging from $5,000 to over $30,000—promising immediate release.

● Some scammers even stage fake virtual court hearings with accomplices posing as immigration judges.

At Torregoza Legal PLLC, we want to ensure your legal journey is protected. Read our latest blog post to understand how these modern scammers operate and how to stay safe. (Link in bio!)
