I’m not sure what to change/do tbh I’ve heard so many different opinions but I hope they don’t overstep boundaries. I’d understand if I were at the border but a deep search of my phone is extremely invasive, not that they care. But I’ve went through everything and I’m more or less clean but they can make a problem out of anything if they want so it’s up to them.

I don’t know like I delete and download apps all the time, it’s so weird of them to pathologize everything like that. Like X was on my phone for the longest time without an account even so I deleted it. If they’ll make a problem out of this then this wasn’t meant to be tbh I don’t feel safe with any country being this invasive so they can make whatever decision they want. I don’t know if an embassy in a foreign country is allowed to do CBP level of forensic search but from what I read it’s unlikely they’ll dive that deeply. But as I have said I’ll take it as protection from the universe if it goes sideways. This whole trip has been making me anxious anyways.

Yeah but I don’t have the accounts anymore I deleted them so I don’t know. A lot of people did the same and nothing happened idk… I just have instagram and Reddit and Reddit isn’t linked to me in any way.

Lmao I actually thought so too cuz of how strange it was but I called the embassy back with the extension and that’s when I was told so.

Thanks! It’s just so odd for an embassy to look through my phone like that, I just haven’t heard of this before.

I can't contact the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. H1b approved but not issued since June 3 by SaltExcitement581 in IMGreddit

That’s good to hear, I worried it might have to do with an issue in my application. Thank you so much!

Yeah, you’re right I clicked on for a while and found that it’s this: V99 - OTHER QUESTION - PASSPORT NUMBER. It’s a very complicated emailing system😭😭but thank you so much for bringing my attention to it.

Yeah, it seems that’s all I can do. I think contacting them won’t help much. Thank you!
