Attorney General Marijuana Announcement affect visas?

[EternalPhotocopy 0]

My husband has never been in the US and was denied due to a small marijuana possession charge in 2006. They said we could file a waiver but I don't have much hardship. Does the new announcement have any bearing on my husband's case? Are they really going to keep him out of the country over something that the Dept of Justice just announced not to prosecute? Was this announcement directed at immigration officers as well? Can they really enforce this law so unevenly? Yes, I realize that federally the law remains, but the ATTORNEY GENERAL is the one allowing the states to go about their businesss and my husband was not accused of selling the drug. Any ideas? This is all super frustrating. I saw an episode of COPS last night where the officers helped a lady get back her stolen marijuana plant in the state I live in and I couldn't help but feel as though this all is incredibly unfair.

I watched that show and it was a rerun

The application of laws is sometimes befuddling to me.

Hope you sort it out.

Until federal laws makes a drug legitimate and takes it off the list you are banned, so far all they have said is they will not hassle states with less restrictive views
