wow, i have another question!

my husband had his medical the other day (in london) and was given a blood test for alcohol & drugs. he wasn't expecting it because he had drinks the night before and a beer with his dad before going into the medical! then the dr. asked him if he'd ever been convicted of drink driving and my husband stated he had, but 10 years ago.

did anyone else out there get asked this? did it come up at the interview? does anyone think this will be a problem for receiving his spousal visa?

paranoid!

He got convicted for drinking? Why? It is not illegal to drink. I don't think they will be worried about him drinking alcohol and no, it did not come up at my interview and back then, I also had a few drinks every now and then. I'm addicted to strawberry margaritas with whipped cream on top. Hehehehe

For some reason my link to the USCIS site for crimes of moral turpitude doesn't work so take a look at this:

That's a great link. I was worried about them today, but it should have been okay.

I would reccomend no drugs or alcohol the night before a medical exam. Why give them a reason to refuse?

No drugs the night before an medical exam???...What great advice!!!

I would say that if you rountinely use drugs, not to ever plan on getting a visa.

I finally got rid of the never ending money drain. I called the plumber, and got the problem fixed. I wish her the best.
