Medical Denial?

[Mr. Smith 0]

Hello! My name is Sara and im from the US, and me and my fiancee Micahel from the UK have filled for the Fiancee visa. We have been waiting now for 5 months since our first Notification and are starting to get nervous about the steps to come since hopefully we will be earring something soon!!

My main concern is the medical exam. My fiancee was hosplitized for anxiety about two years back. He also has a history of using drugs. He has fully recovered and has not had any issues for a long time, and on his record it only shows that he was treated for anxitey, and hasnt touched any drugs for years. But I am just so terrified that this will cause him to fail his medical exam and in case cause them to deny our visa!!

Does anyone have any experience with failed medicals? Or know if this is gonna be an issue for us!? Any advice would be amazing!! Thanks so much!

Hi Sara. I am going to move your post from the Canada Forum to the UK Forum. They'll have more insight into British medicals over in that section. I can tell you that drug use is grounds for refusal so if it's not a part of his life then I wouldn't mention it.

All the best, and welcome to VJ.

Firstly why is this in the Canada Regional forum?? This belongs in the Embassy/Consulate forum or UK forum.

If there is a record of the drug use on police report, this may cause a problem, as for anxiety hospitalization, the standard is if the medical condition poses a threat to others then may be denied on medical grounds.

Hi,

This thread my also help shed some light on the whole drugs issue, while it seems at the outstart of the thread that it is a denial based on drunk driving, please read further along in the thread - and good luck!

Drug use is a bit of an iffy subject. If he admits to it then it can be reason for denial. If he doesn't and they find out he lied then that is another reason for denial. Basically do as much research as you can then make your own choice about what you will do.

If there is any record anywhere of his drug taking I would go and get yourself some legal advise
