Visa Denied

[Clownies 2]

Aw, for fudge's sake! Being denied for having smoked, or still smoking, pot, is absolutely ridiculous and hypocritical!

yes minyas wife.. its normal practice for jamaican embassy that if the medical is clean, but applicant admits to having ever used, this means denial..

Aha! The only thing that gives me pause here is that it seems the medical was written incorrectly or falsified(?). If the OP admitted to pot use more than 2 years ago, and now the visa was denied because of it, it makes sense. But the way I'm reading it, the OP admitted to drug use 2 years ago, yet mysteriously the medical form states that OP admitted to recent(2 months ago) drug use. 2 months ago looks worse than having smoked 2 years ago.

Something else...if it is normal practice to deny on medical grounds if there's admitted drug use, why would it matter if the date is 2 months or 2 years? Why would the medical interviewer write the wrong date?

can't try to figure it out.. there has been instances the medical interviewer ADMITS to putting wrong info, but still no recompense..

the date really doesn't matter in the end.. all that matters is yea or nay...

I don't know if it was the Jamaican Embassy or not but it is from my understanding never give any information that is not required to obtain the Visa.

It might sound like that, but it is the law. We don't have to like it, we just have to follow it. Or not, and deal with the consequences.

Is there NO POSSIBLE way she can file a waiver???

If she has children from a USC who won't let her move to JA and she needs him here, does that not qualify her for a waiver...??

If 1 charge of possession for marijuana under 30grams is inelligible for waiver, I do not understand why admitting to using it 2 years ago isn't.

Think positive. Reapply using a I-130 in 3 years after establishing his being clean and he will get a IR-1 10 year GC when he comes to the US.

Get working on what has to be done to prove him clean for immigration purposes.

At least Jamaica isn't that far away!!

I don't think the panel physicians are testing your blood for trace amounts of pot, but anyways. He admitted to drug use, bad move. I feel horrible for you and I hope you can find a way around this.

No, I think the OP said her husband tested clean, but at the time of the medical interview the husband admitted to using more than two years ago, yet it showed a recent date with the heading admitted to last using marijuana.

They always put the current date when they admit it. It's something you will see pretty much no where else but the Jamaican threads on this board. They do not care when you used. If you admit to it, they write it down on medical and automatically deny.

OP, talk to Mrs. Palmer. Her husband went through the exact same thing. Now, 3 years later, he was just approved. She may be able to tell you what to do from here.

Good luck.

They ask the question at Jamaican medicals.

They test as well in Jamaica.
