I'm pretty sure the medical went well - here is my information on what happened:

Hi There, I think the medical went well. He did the standard medical part and then had to go to the psychologist which we expected because my fiance is returning after a 3 year ban for taking a few puffs off a friends mj cigarette *sigh* - Anyway, at the psych, which is like a hour walk away from the consulate, he asked him when he smoked pot last and he gave him the same answer as he did three years ago. This is extremely important to do, you must say the exact some thing you said prior to the ban.

Next the psych kept trying to twist things around by saying "well you told us that you were a heavy smoker of weed etc" and bf just stuck to his guns and kept saying the same thing over and over. Then the psych wrote down that my fiance had smoked weed and then experimented in middle school then he asked my fiance to sign it. I knew this was coming so I warned him NOT to sign that paper. A friend from this forum was given that option too at the psychologist to sign the paper, he didn't and he got his visa.

After that the psychologist started to chit chat about where my fiance is from, that he's been there etc and that was it.

The psychologist did not want to see his 3 years of urine tests he brought either. He said that those mean nothing to him nor the consulate - he said that the consulate only will take his medical opinion and that's it. Interesting. Also when my friend went to the consulate for his interview after the 3 year ban, the consulate didn't say a word about his so called "drug addiction" or anything, they didn't mention anything about it at all.

Tomorrow is the appt, I pray that he is able to get in for his interview and that it's quick and easy and APPROVED!

He didn't get his visa but he wasn't denied. They gave him a 221(g) form that says "Admin Review" on it. The interview went like this:

The interview was this: The consular asked "What did you say to the psychologist?", my fiancé replied, "I told him that I experimented once with cocaine and pot when I was 14 years old and that in December 2006 I smoked some marijuana". She then gave him the 221(g) form that says "Administrative Review". The consular then said "They have not made a decision yet on your case, come back in 6 months for another medical exam".

I called the US Senator's office and sent them all of the information and luckily the Senator's secretary is Mexican! She said she was familiar with Juarez and sent me a form to fill out immediately in my email. I faxed all back to her today and she said she would get to it today and that she would get back to me with some answers so that was one good thing.

My sweetheart flew back home again now for the second time, another $1100 down the drain.

If anyone knows anything about Administrative Review I would love to hear anything you have to say.

My signature is getting so long it's not fitting into the box anymore.

That's weird. I'm so very sorry to hear that happened. It should have been a breeze interview since he waited out the 3 year ban. I found it strange that they put him on AP but told him to come back in 6 months for another medical. Usually when put on AP - consulate will get back to you with the decision. Definitely get the senator's office involved. I might would have kept Edgar around CDJ for a few days to see what the Senator can do for you guys. Keep us posted.

Again very sorry. Hang in there. Allie

I can't believe this. I'm so sorry to here this, what an awful system, it just makes me so very angry :angry: :angry: . Please keep us posted. I'll keep checking in to see how things are going.

Thanks Allie and Stasia, yeah, It's very strange, I don't get it.

The part that puzzles me the most is that the consular only asked about what he said to the psychologist and then gave him that Admin review form. I can't wait until I hear something. Gosh I need a vacation, I think I may surprise my fiance in a few weeks with a visit, I gotta get outta here for awhile.

I wish they would move that consulate, I can't believe when they made the new consulate that they kept it in shitty Juarez, that place is a seedy dump and its so dangerous for people to go there.
