Going for cr-1 visa....In my affadavit I stated that my husband (before I met him) that he was a drug user for a five months period in 2004. The DS-230 asks if he "admits violating any law relating to a controlled substance" I have to answer yes since they already documentation of the confession.

Question is can they deny you a CR-1 visa on grounds that you admit to previously using drugs. (No criminal charges or arrests)

If I could be anything, I would be a tear.

They are obligated to deny the visa. His admission of drug use makes him inadmissible to the United States under INA 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(II). The INA makes no distinction between admitting a crime and actually being convicted of the crime.

After the visa is denied you can submit a hardship waiver request.

If anyone is reading this thread....I would like to give an update because I spoke to my lawyer. Being that I wrote it in MY affadavit very vaguely (didn't specify how much drug was used, how many times he used, and I wasn't witness to it) AND he was unaware that he was committing any crime....she advised to check no.

If I could be anything, I would be a tear.

If any of us here at VJ give you such advice, we get suspended. Therefore, it's always good advice to consult with an immigration attorney if you have a case that appears to be complicated or involves a waiver.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

+1 to this. What the lawyer is advising is a misrepresentation (i.e., a lie). Since the truth would affect the outcome, the misrepresentation is material. Material misrepresentation is a crime. Nobody here can advise you to do something illegal because it's a violation of the terms of use of this website. Your lawyer can advise whatever he wants, but if you get caught then you would have to suffer to consequences.
