K-1 - Drug Test

[Jlacuesta 0]

Does anyone know the new or updated US Embassy policy regarding drug testing? My fiancé did admit to me that he smoked weed last year (December).

Should we be concerned? do they do blood, urine or hair tests?

As far as you know they don't do drug testing. But they have your urine and blood, and they can use either of those to do drug tests in the back room without you ever knowing it.

I will never advise you to lie. My advice is to make your own decision as to what is best for you. But you should know factually that THC disappears from your blood 30 to 60 days after last use. So will it show up? You know better than we do about when you last smoked marijuana. Look at a calendar and decide.

Now let me tell you about my experience getting a Russian tourist visa. (I was there four times.) Each time I was asked point blank "Have you EVER used illegal drugs". Well there is no drug test as well as no drug arrests on my part, so I answered "no". I am not saying I used drugs; I am just saying there is no hard evidence I ever did. To make a long story short, I got all 4 visas quickly and easily.
