Well, that gives us some hope, but I have heard the exact opposite, that it rarely results in anything but a 1 year ban. 

Please clarify something.  Was THC detected in her system during her first medical exam?

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

No idea - how would we even know? We haven't attended the visa interview yet and they never gave us our packet after the medical interview. 

 

She did take a urine test, but it was not stated to her directly if they were testing for drugs or not. 

 

As for whether or not it was likely she had marijuana in her system, it is possible, but I would guess not. While she did smoke 3 weeks prior to the medical exam, her use is so infrequent, I don't believe the one puff she took 3 weeks earlier would show up - but it is a possibility for 30+ days.

Are you suggesting that if she admitted to usage, even recently, but THC was not detected in her system, that this may be seen as a positive despite that admission?

No.  I was saying that a positive test would be a huge factor in whether a ban was imposed.  I'm not even sure if a drug test was done.
