So I am in some distress. the Knightsbridge medical seemed to go well, but the topic of drug use came up and the doctor needles at the question, "do you use drugs?" "have you ever used drugs?" then, "have you ever tried drugs?" and i was honest and said I had some 7 years ago in Amsterdam where i tried weed once. the doctor saw I looked worried about this and said there was nothing to worry about but she did write it down. then they asked me to do a urine drugs test.

I dont do drugs and I am sure I will pass the test. But have I screwed this up by being honest? Does London deny Visa or put one year probations on for that? Ive tried finding a similar case and the forums are terrifying or nothing happened... has anyone got experience with this in London?

Obviously the rest of my case is sparkling and I have no police records etc. I feel like I have messed up by being overly honest.

A big thank you... I was mildly freaking out having failed to find any trace of such accounts. I will now wait and see what happens!

Just an Update: Test came back fine (as expected!). Interview was scheduled about 1.5weeks post the medical.

I had my interview on Thursday and it was fine, and I was granted the K1 visa. I had a lot of stress over this; in the end everything was fine! Thank you for the example cases, they helped me a lot.
