also i see in the google sheet doc that most of the cases were in the fiance/spouse/eb categories and non were in the family based categories, f1, f2, f3, f4 etc. Are these categories more likely to be served a ds5355 compared to family based categories?

This thread is freaking me out. I have my F1 child of a US citizen interview soon(maybe in the next couple of months). Im am Chinese born but I have been a Canadian citizen for 25+ years. Over the last 10 years I've been backpacking/travelling around the world and been to many different countries (40+). I lived in some for a few months as well (as a tourist) I didn't even know this was an issue. I never been to any of the countries that are part of the "muslim" ban by trump however. Any ideas what I should do to avoid getting stuck with a ds-5355 notice? Somethings I have question about: 1. Is being linked to China also a cause of concern as being from "muslim" countries? 2. How would US immigration officers know my history of travel to raise any red flags? 3. My guess is I should get a new passport so it won't show pages of different stamps from different areas of travel, but will a brand new passport raise any red flags as well? 4. Were any of you guys asked your history of travel before being issued your ds-5355 notice?
