US wants social media details for visa applications!

This is the only thing that could draw me back to my blog I guess :)))

Boss has been on my case to go to the US for at least half a year now. In fact one of my ex-managers and I had a bet on how much longer I can put off that trip to the mother-ship when I told him that I had never returned to the US after I moved back home for good. I "tried" opening a DS-160 in April, that is to say, I made a half-hearted attempt, filled my name and date of birth and then saw all the details they needed and just closed the application after saving the number. They want to know all details from my F-1 visa to the Green Card I abandoned, all the countries I have been to in the last five years etc etc etc. And NOW they also want this? I feel maybe getting a diplomatic passport or even investing a million dollars and getting a green card instead is a much easier option than applying for a visa And worse, this is when I don't even want to go :( 






It has been 14 odd years since I stood in a US consulate line and I am so NOT looking forward to it...
