Having visited Iran recently, you will not be admitted to the US without being vetted.

 

Even a Canadian by birth would experience that.

He said he has visited the USA before and during covid times so after his last visits to his home country

Well, perhaps that was overlooked during his other requests for admission.

 

I've seen travelers from VWP countries be denied entry due to travel to Iran, Syria etc, with their ESTAs being denied and B visas being the only option.  In other words:  they had to be vetted and interviewed by a consular officer.

What would a lawyer do?  No one has a "right" to visit the US.

I understand but I have the right to know why?

Exactly; I don't see any relevance; it can be an excuse but not the reason!

that only applies to those that are not Iranian and visit Iran; for Iranians,it is  mostly case by case and if anything  looks suspicious( in their opinion!)

You can take this to court.  
 

Rahinah Ibrahim spent over $3M determining why she was on the no fly list.  AFAIK she hasn’t been able to enter the USA yet.

Unfortunately I don't think that they are legally obligated to disclose the reason, especially if it relates to homeland security.

 

The vast majority of those denied B visas are denied for immigrant intent.  In fact, the consular officer is required by law to adjudicate all B application through the lens of potential overstays.

Agreed.  
 

OP might want to review the case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen who was denied entry into the USA at the request of the Canadian government.
 

Arar was enroute to Canada and attempting to transit via the USA. Arar was then sent to the Middle East to be tortured.  He eventually did get back into Canada and did eventually get compensation from Canada.  
 

But he got nothing from the USA, and the USA won’t promise to repeat the experience if he attempts to come to the USA.

Well i think its due to the adjustment of status. Get yourself fully prepare for the F3 interview and you will be fine i believe....

Good luck!!

You should be aware that CPB requires ONLY suspicion........ONLY..... SUSPICION.  They owe you nothing since you have no right to enter the US, nor were you inside the US.

^^^^This.  There seems to be a significant increase in the number of DS-5535's being handed out since about October of last year.  I'd definitely prepare to be handed that DS-5535 for when you do finally get an interview.  It's a LOT of information to gather.  

 

Clearly, there must be some intelligence that we're not privy to that is having an impact on who's being allowed into the US.  Unfortunately, your Iranian heritage generates a red flag. The way the DS-5535's have been going, even a B interview may still be denied by a consular officer.
