All content analyzed across 14 government-aligned risk categories. Scores represent safety (higher = safer).
Date: March 14, 2021 • Platform: Facebook • Type: Shared article with comment
"This border policy is inhumane and un-American. The world is watching and judging. [Shared: NPR article about border detention conditions]"
Why flagged: Direct criticism of U.S. government policy using charged language ("inhumane", "un-American") could be interpreted as anti-U.S. sentiment by screening algorithms.
💡 Recommendation: Delete this post. While policy criticism is protected speech for U.S. citizens, visa applicants are held to a different standard. Alternatively, if asked, prepare a response explaining your respect for the U.S. democratic process and that you shared the article out of concern for humanitarian values.
Date: Dec 28, 2024 • Platform: Instagram • Type: Photo caption
"Miami vibes are unmatched. Never leaving this place lol 🌴🙌"
Why flagged: The phrase "never leaving" could theoretically be flagged by keyword-matching algorithms as potential overstay intent, though context clearly shows it's humorous.
💡 Recommendation: Low priority. Consider editing the caption to remove "never leaving" or adding context. No action strictly required, but removing ambiguity helps.
Date: Sept 5, 2025 • Platform: Reddit • Type: Comment in r/immigration
"The H-1B lottery system is broken. It's stressful waiting months only to get rejected by an algorithm. The system needs reform."
💡 Recommendation: Borderline. This is constructive criticism rather than anti-U.S. sentiment. Consider deleting to be safe, or leave it — the tone is measured and factual.
Platform: Facebook • Type: Group membership
💡 Recommendation: You're a member of "Global Politics Discussion Forum" (12K members). The group itself isn't problematic, but consider leaving it before your interview to reduce surface area for questions.
