US Embassy Warns of Visa Consequences for Indians
The US government is cracking down on visa rules.
If you overstay your visa, you can be banned from entering the US again.
Also, if you support violence or celebrate the deaths of political figures online, the US may not give you a visa.
They will be checking social media to see if people are behaving badly online.
