Did they ask you other questions before your relatives? I agree with aother comment here that I don't think rtd without pr, or relatives in the US are the main factors. You should focus on your travel plan and your background next time. Having a stable work may help a lot. In the worst case, you could go to the US when you get your citizenship. Good luck.
US B1/B2 Visa Questions

Yes he asked me how did they go and their status. Yea I should wait the citizenship
i know this couple who applied for B1/B2. The Consulate canceled their appointment saying that reschedule again after you get PR. they did not refuse the application but just canceled the appointment from their end. this happened 1/2 months ago.
did it happen to anyone here?

Happened to us some years ago. The nice thing about this was we didn't have to repay fees for a new app.
When we finally did PR, we then finished the booking (which was on the tail end of covid times so involved some considerable frustration and waiting). However, the appointment itself, in Toronto, went quite smoothly and quick, and we got the visa.
i hope they also don't have to pay to reschedule the appointment. but i m pretty sure they need another DS-160.
its been a while, my recollection is we did indeed need a new DS-160 but we didn't have to pay any additional fees to reschedule. (Perhaps because it was cancelled by them on their end?)
Owwww wow, the officer also said me when refused my visa, “the rule is strict “
Since Trump has come back into office securing a visa as a protected person or refugee has become much harder. This may change under another administration.
For anyone still digging through this in 2026: Toronto has become extremely strict with interviews lately.
I went with an RTD, and they grilled me for about 10 minutes about my history. I also had an older issue on my record that was stressing me out badly, and I was scared I’d get a lifetime ban if I said something wrong.
In the end, I asked Green Evans-Schroeder for an opinion. They’re based in Arizona, but they really know their way around visa legal issues. It helped me a lot because I didn’t freeze up when the officer started asking questions.

This is really weird. It reads as if in the middle of the interview, when you got stuck, you got up and made a call to the lawyers... but I'm pretty sure you can't do that in the middle of an actual interview.
That's quite vague and quite impossible to draw any reasonable sort of conclusion from - what was the nature of the actual issue?
What was the advice they gave? Not asking for confidential details of course, but just the general overview and gist - knowing this is important when judging the quality of the lawyer's advice.
Hello everyone,
Has anyone made a mistake in a child’s name on the U.S. visa appointment profile after paying the MRV fee?
The DS-160 information is correct, but I accidentally reversed the first and last name in the appointment system. After correcting it, the system is asking for a new payment. Any advice on how to fix this without paying again?

Never faced such issue, but you can call on US Embassy and discuss about the issue , hope they will do correction as per original name entered at first instant.
It's been a while since I looked at this but is there a way on their site to submit a feedback request or something? Might be worth trying to submit the explanation of your issue to their website technical support, in case the staff there can pass along the message to someone who can fix it.
Otherwise, if you can't get through on the phone and the above doesn't work (or doesn't exist, who can say with the current admin) it does seem that as long as the DS-160 and passport are correct, the staff at the appointment - at least in the before times - can quickly and easily correct the profile data on the spot without charge.
After all, this must be a very common thing that they see all the time..
Thank you. I emailed them explaining the issue, and they replied that the case has been escalated to the appropriate department for investigation and resolution.
