Likelihood of K1 denial being pregnant and previous drug use.

[Camason 25]

Hey guys.

 

So I'm currently 8 months pregnant with my fiancées baby. I attended the medical in Knightsbridge London and was completely honest about my previous drug use of smoking marijuana. However, I did quit in 2009 and haven't touched the stuff since, partly due to my job in healthcare and the possibility of random drug tests. I was given a urine drug screen, which I know I'll pass 1000%. 

 

However, upon reading testimonials from here, it seams that even my admission to previous drug use will result in a denial. I'm completely devastated to say the least, as my fiancée will miss out on the most important time in his child's life. He will be attending the birth and stay with me for 6 weeks but will have to return due to his job.

 

On top of this I have a criminal record. I have a juvenile criminal conviction for going equipped for theft (not actual theft itself) for which I received an absolute discharge. I also have an arrest for disorderly conduct which I recieved a penalty notice for and also an arrest for Threats to kill, which I know on paper looks alarming, however, I recieved No further action for that. 

 

I feel like I'm going to be punished for my past

 

Are there any hardship waivers or anything that I could submit?

 

Whats the likely hood of me being denied?

This is of course all guesswork, but...

Assuming both criminal charges were as a minor/ a long time ago, I think your chances of getting a visa are decent, but there likely will be a delay of a year with random drug testing before they grant it.

Just as an update to this. I worried for nothing. Interview took all of 5 minutes. I was approved on the spot. They didn't even ask about my previous drug use or my criminal record.

If they would ask you about drug use you would say that you did use drugs before? Or just say no? meaning that saying yes could result in one year ban.

I was completely honest with them. I had to be because my previous drug use had also been mentioned to my personal doctor. I was worried in the medical that it may mention it so I was honest. I told the medical doctor I had previously taken weed on numerous occasions but that I had stopped in 2009. So it would have been 7 years since my last drug use. I thought it's best to be honest just incase it was something that had been put in my medical report that they had requested from my doctor.

Always, always, always tell the truth in this process. Whatever the consequences for your past actions, the consequences for lying willl ALWAYS be worse.

100% Agree with you. If they find out you lied you can kiss goodbye to any prospect of any visa to the usa
