The New York Times recently ran an article titled “Facebook is Using You” by Lori Andrews. In the article it said that “material mined online has been used against people battling for child custody or defending themselves in criminal cases.
LexisNexis has a product called Accurint for Law Enforcement, which gives government agents information about what people do on social networks. The Internal Revenue Service searches Facebook and MySpace for evidence of tax evaders’ income and whereabouts, and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has been known to scrutinize photos and posts to confirm family relationships or weed out sham marriages….” (emphasis mine)
If you are applying for a green card or if you are filing any immigration case you may wish to review your social media accounts to make sure that everything is in order. The last thing you want is for your facebook account to give the appearance that your petition or your application is false in any way.
Your social media (all of it) should reflect that you love your spouse and that your spouse is a huge part of your life. If a USCIS officer scrolls through your social media and you are not mentioning your spouse at all how do you think that would appear to the officer?
It should be absolutely clear to anyone looking at your social media that you are in a loving relationship with your spouse.
In addition, you should avoid taking major political stances on social media. You may have an officer who is diametrically opposed to you politically and you could hurt your chances of approval with an inflammatory post.

Our experience was amazing. The process was smooth. Larry and Jason helped us every step of the way to get my husband’s temporary visa. When I started getting anxiety about how long it takes, what’s the next step or what if’s, I would call either of them and they had no problems giving me answers. Jason went with us to our meeting with immigration, and made us laugh the whole time. He really helped keep me calm as I suffer from anxiety very badly. A year later, I can still call Larry and ask questions about the next step. I’m very thankful I found these guys!!! Highly recommend them!
I met the love of my life in China. When I was looking for an Immigration attorney to help me get the K1 Visa for my fiance, I was so glad that I found the Law Office Of Lawrence Gruner. Attorney’s Lawrence Gruner and Jason Marachi gave us excellent representation throughout the whole process and got us through the process very quickly and smoothly. It only took six month’s for my fiance to get her K1 Visa and move to the U.S. with me so we could get married and start our lives together. And in another six month’s later, my wife now has her Green Card. I highly recommend this Law Office for your Immigration Law needs.
Thank you Mr. Gruner and Mr. Marachi!!
Lawrence and his legal team are stellar. They provided an affordable solution to our immigration related legal issues. My wife and I turned to Lawrence and his team from friends that also had a successful experience. Simply, we all agree that it was the right choice. Everything was completed as offered and his legal advice as a lawyer and a friend is always there. Thank You!
