I agree that it wasn't the best idea. But it's just Marijuana, not a hard drug. Plus it is in a few states legalized (not sure if just for medical reasons or not). Do you really think, they would reject one just for smoking pot? And didn't almost everybody smoked at least one time in ones life pot just for trying? 

There are so may "ifs" to whether they will or will not and it is up to the Embassy. I would suggest, which I have done, using the search function at the top right of this page and use "visa and pot" and you will get some hits that will be reading material. I'll post one that I found and you can look for others.

 

Good luck.

Thank you!

From that link onward is for everyone. Everything prior is for the Philippines. So you can follow the information and you will find that it helps once you arrive in the USA.

Use this link

to see an article that I posted titled: What steps does an USCIS agent take to adjudicate my case at USCIS.

Scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page to arrive at the article. If you comment please do not quote the entire article as it gets to be too much duplication if everyone is doing the same.

Hi I have the same problem that you. But you need to figure out if you need the letter to schedule the interview or get the medical exam, as i do. If you don't, check on the NVC web page  the requires you will need at your interview.

https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/iv-dv-supplemental/PRS-Paris.pdf

 

The other advise i can give you is to try to get in touch we other members of the forum which had had the interview already so you can ask them for a copy of their letter.

 

;)

Thank you so much for your answer. So I called them again, and this time a woman told me that on her computer my case ready, so we completed my account then she asked me to paid the fees and choose a date. I waited 1 month for a letter or email that’s I never received ! I scheduled  my interview just today! It’s weird I really thought that I will received a letter but finally I scheduled without any letter...

Did you received the letter or email? 

 

Also i wish you great things for your interview ! For you and everybody🙏🏼

 

Nay,

what is the first to set an appointment is it the CFO or the embassy interview?

This response to your question is probably way too late, but I scheduled my interview first and then CFO seconds later after scheduling the interview. My Filipina's POE was crazy because of the plane crash at Manila airport the day before. Things have settled down and she is save and sound in the USA now.

My fiancé had his interview today and he was approved for a visa! Im living proof you can come back from a noid! I was so down for a while about this process and then getting the noid for documents I inclosed in my original package was a lot on me. But the 1 year anniversary from when I lost almost everything in Harvey my fiancé was approved so it is a light at the end of this dark tunnel! I’m wishing everyone that is still waiting best of luck and don’t give up!

Congratulations to you and all those who have been approved!!! 🎉👏🏼🍾💕 I’m still waiting on my interview which will be on October 25th in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Unfortunately there’s between 3 and 4 months wait for the interview here. Building my patience every single day and hoping everything goes smoothly. Praying for all of us! 🙏🏼❤️💕

If you watch your Embassy calendar for appointments, at times some will be canceled. Maybe you catch one of those. Of course, this only works if you can schedule your appointment. If the Embassy schedules then I think you are out of luck.

I had my interview at the embassy in Frankfurt, Germany today and got my approval. I'm so relieved :)

Then you had no problems with the medical if you were able to secure an approval. Congratulations.
