He was with marijuana before.

OP confuses right and privilege.

I'm interested in this green card that was "offered" to the OP but declined (surely it was applied for on the basis of certain eligibility criteria, rather than "offered", which makes it sound like they are handed out in the street to passers by like restaurant coupons) and what his/her status was for the several years he/she lived in the US (presumably without a green card as this was declined).

I forget the precise name of the visa I was on, but it was along the lines a temporary resident visa, which also did not allow me to work. The green cards were granted (as promised) through my fathers employer and should have been over and done with in 2010, but by the time the process was finalized in 2012, I was preparing to set sail..

I've actually just checked online and the visa was issued yesterday.. One less thing to worry about Thanks for the input though lads.
