I would like to ask about my case for the US visa. Here are details about my case: In 2014, the first time I applied for a visitor visa, I went with my auntie to the interview and I got approved.
In 2015 I renewed it so there was no problem at all. In 2016, I also renewed my visitor visa in March. Then in July, since I graduated from my international high school in Viet Nam, I applied for a student visa to the US. However, before that, my uncle, whois American, wanted to adopt me but we need to go to the US Embassy and sign a paper.
They didn't let us do it for some reason, then called me to cancel my visitor visa, and refused my student visa in the interview. I’m studying abroad in Canada right now and in second year in Computer Science. So for the summer, I applied for a US visitor visa to visit my auntie and uncle. I went to the interview, the guy asked me many questions about adoption but he said your visa is approved and it will take 2 weeks for your passport to come back. Two days later I went to check if they issued me the visa, and the status was ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS. And yesterday I checked again, it said REFUSED.
Can somebody tell me what happened or what to do please?

It seems plausible that you failed to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent. Basically, all applicants for US non-immigrant visas (including B-1, B-2, and F-1) are assumed by default to want to remain in the country permanently; and it is necessary for applicants to show that they have substantial ties to their homeland and are likely to return there after their visit. This can be done by having a history of visiting other countries and returning home; by having a stable job in your home country; by having family there; by owning property there; or other ways.
In your case, the fact that your uncle was planning to adopt you is probably what led to your visitor & student visas being cancelled/refused. The immigration officers probably viewed this as evidence that you were planning to stay in the US after your visa expired. Once your first two visa applications were refused, further applications were likely to be viewed skeptically at best.
At this point, you have been refused a visa three times, and further applications are unlikely to yield you a visa unless your situation changes. I would highly recommend that you read the answers to this question and take it to heart.
