This is for a friend. Does a gambling problem and drugs (weed smoking) qualify as extreme cruelty or abuse by a USC spouse?

You'd have to be a bit more specific. A gambling "problem" to your friend, may not be a problem to others. Some may find a compulsion to do the lottery every week a "problem". I can't see how a person smoking weed would qualify as extreme cruelty or abuse, unless they are refusing to share!!! lol

It qualifies as being a douchebag, but not as "extreme cruelty" (which surely has to be a form of physical violence) or "abuse".

well lets not beat around the bush... Are you asking about how to rehabilitate a gambler, or how to ditch a USC and stay in the states?

waiting-1,

A good attorney can make anything sound like abuse or extreme cruelty, if you are the client and that's what winning the case requires.

Opposing counsel (if there is one) will make the same thing sound like true devotion.

The judge or jury (or the USCIS?) will decide which is most credible.
