As usual, there are countless immigration topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll do the same in my answers!

What if you have deleted social media accounts? It's possible to state that you had them with whatever identifiers, but do you have to prove their existence in some way so they can check an archive (assuming it was Twitter)?

If I understand you correctly, there's no obligation to maintain access to deleted social media accounts or to archive them.

Are those "Donald Trump is a rancid, orange Turnip" posts coming back to haunt you? Me too.

I'd brave it out and stick to your guns.

After all, facts are facts.
