US Visitor Visa as a Protected Person in Canada

[cleo007]

when filling visa application form...did you select stateless as country of citizenship

No you are still techinically a citizen of your country of origin if you dont have a Canadian citizenship.

refugee/protected person is very different from stateless person

Hi,
I have a few questions about my upcoming visa interview. I scheduled the appointment about 1.5 years ago, and some things have changed since then:

• My passport will only be valid for 5 months, but the requirement says it needs to be valid for at least 6 months.
• I’ve visited a few new countries since filling out my DS‑160. How do I update that information?
• There’s also a new family member I need to add. How should I update the DS‑160 for that?

From what I understand, the DS‑160 on my appointment letter has to match the one I submitted originally, so I’m not sure if I can complete a new form. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.

You will need to do a new DS 160 with updated information and replace the existing one in the appoinment portal atleast 3 business days to your appoinment. For the passport 6 months is a requirement my advice will be apply for a anew one before then .They are very strict on that!

Thanks @cleo007 , but reschedule option is not appearing i still have more than a month for the appointment date.
Not sure how long it will take to have new RTD, do you think i should take a chance on the existing RTD, its 5 months and few days left (less than 6 months)

I'm not an expert in this area, but I think there's two parts here;
1 - Do they issue the visa on an RTD that has less than 6 months of validity during the visa appointment?
2 - If yes, then assuming that you're travelling on the same day you get back the visa on RTD, then that might not be possible since it's less than 6 months' validity.

Am not sure about your case but my brother had appointment last year, and he’s RTD was expired and they returned him from the document check table near to entrance. I think you will deal with those security table before reaching visa officer.
