Aaron are u sure? I'm so scared and don't want to mess up again. They didn't ask for drug tests or anything because his test result was negative. They jus said when the ban expires....email them for another interview and schedule the medical.

You're not denied, just delayed??. It's disappointing but don't be afraid, just take some time to get your strength and hope back and keep pressing forward! I know it's easier said than done but be encouraged!!

I know n I'm calm...i jus don't want anymore problems. I appreciate some of u guys feedback n I will definitely take heed. Nothing to do now but make future plans n wait it out. Also, if any of u guys know...will they use the same info for the affidavit of support or will I need to bring 2016 tax info?

So when the ban is up and we do the medical and interview again..how do we answer that same question of has he river tried weed? If we say no..we are lying n he may be banned 4 life...they already have the first paperwork where he admitted to it a long time ago..so wat do we say the second time?

Majohn breathe.

 

When your husband goes to the new medical exam and they ask about past use he will be honest and say yes.  And then they will ask him how long has it been and again he will be honest.  Then they will see that he has not used since his last medical and he will be approved...all other factors remaining the same.  This is not double jeopardy.  He serves the ban once.  As long as he remains clean...does not use again it will be fine.

You will need to update financial forms and police record.  As I stated before, email the embassy near the end of the ban and they will instruct you.

See just like I said.  Yes I am sure.  My husband and I went through this exact thing with the KIngston embassy.

When you do the medical examination and if marijuana is found in your system, do the doctors tell you or you learn of it at the interview?

Actually this happened to a good friend of mine, her fiancé' admitted smoking hash, he was banned for 1 year, after a year, embassy called, told him get new physical, he did, they sent the results to embassy, he was called again, said bring your passport, he did, he was issued the visa.   He has been here now 4 years in USA.

No, doctors don't tell you anything,   The embassy sees the medical results before interview.   That is how they knew he lied.

Husband was denied visa because he just admitted to smoking ganja in his 20s. Drug test negative. He was banned for 1 year. Is there anything we can do about this? I need him so bad. Please help us

It's really unfortunate and I think they are really being unreasonable, I'm sorry I can't help you but I do wish you well and someone here can give you great advice!

He's not "banned." He was found ineligible as a drug abuser. He has to comply with the panel physician's instructions, which would generally entail showing remission through clean drug tests for a year. When the doctor is satisfied she will issue him a clean medical exam and you can go forward with your case. If it's been more than a year then yes he would need a new interview appointment.

Not unreasonable, they're going by federal law.

You serve a one year ban to overcome the inadmissibility.  Kingston embassy does not request follow up drug testing during that one year for these cases.  When the new medical exam is completed and results are received by the Kingston embassy they will make the determination to grant the visa or not.

OP, embassies can vary in their process of handling this.  You can private message me if you have any questions with Jamaica embassy.
