denied fiance visa

[Steve&Ema 25]

Maybe it was more than just marijuana that they found in his system?

^{People do get through this but they had to prove to the US government that over a year period of time they had not used any drugs.}

^{Where did you get the information that he could re-apply after a year period of time, if the embassy told him this than that is the case for him. This would be the case if his medical showed illegal drug substance in his urine or blood. That would also be the case if he admitted that he has used illegal drugs in his adult life.}

^{Going thru the next process you'll will have 3 issues to overcome, one that your relationship is still valid, and two that the Beneficiary has taken steps to discontinue his use of illegal drugs. The third would be that your income could qualify for a household of 3 individuals.}

he was told to reapply by the interviewer and my income will double by next year so it will be more than enough to qualify for 4 people (I have a daughter) and he's more than willing to do what ever it takes to be with me I just want to be sure we are getting all our ducks in a row

To be fair, I've also never read anything about the medical being a drug-testing session either, but I would have assumed so without being told.

Why would the US government tell you what they are testing for, that would null the point of testing.

i read tons of person accounts trying to find out exactly what happens at the physical and no one mentioned it

Generally those who fail the medical don't come back and report it to the board, so you don see many cases here on VJ. But this is a know fact by those who have been here on VJ for 5 years or more. Some countries claim they are not tested, but that is a myth they just wasn't part of the group that came back negative.

It use to be a 3 year ban, but 2 years ago the government shorten it to 1. So celebrate the fact that you'll only have to wait a year instead of 3.

One thing that I have noticed and maybe why people haven't mentioned is. I don't think every applicant is asked these questions about drugs at the interview.

Seems too make sense you come up dirty and they ask to see if you will be honest or not. Cuz obviously if its in their urine or blood its recent (I believe what 60 days if in blood, 30 if in urine).

All you can do is prepare for the next year, and file again in a years either as a fiance' or married couple.I am

sorry for your delay, but that's all it is not a denial.

so getting married is okay then? I just don't wanna get married then find out it would have been better to wait

[Darnell 8,478]

you could think of it this way -

he has to wait a year, regardless.

you could get married and file, with an interview popping up right around the year mark from the last medical exam.

what are your thoughts?

that's what I was hoping for his medical was July 10 we were thinking I go there in march get married I come home start my petition and everything should fall after his original medical and interview dates I just wasn't sure if my petition would be considered if he was still in the year period after his denial

you may want to consider going for a urine drug test every month for the next year... then you would have some documentation of being drug free for the whole year..

Very good idea...even though it be at couple's own expense, but at least they would be building evidence he's consistently trying to get clean and hasn't failed a drug test since the visa refusal.

I'm not saying they should outright tell us, but I would have thought testing for drugs was one of the reasons for the medical. The US takes a hard line against drug users.

OP, if you are going to get married in the UK next March, please make sure you obtain the correct visa to do so.

where can he go to do that? Are there companies that do it or would seeing a drug counselor be able to do that as part of treatment?
