:help::help: My finacee was denied her visa today. At her medical they asked about drug use and she said she took some kind of drug 4 years ago to get thu a rough time in her life and she was denied her visa because of it. Any thing I can do to fix this and get her to us? I have never felt so bad in my life, all my hopes and dreams are gone.
Sorry to hear about your situation. My fiance recently told me she was arrested for drugs when she was younger in thailand. She is very worried that she will be denied her visa as well. She is trying to find an answer to help her get thru the process. I really want her here with me and will do whatever i can.

Sorry to hear that but sometimes honesty won't make you any good. I just wished she never been that truthful.

I dont want to discourage you but if its really about drugs that would be hard to fix it anymore even though you tell them you have have using it 20 yrs ago.

I don't know why but thats the way it is especially in the Philippines.

Hi larry..

Im so sorry about this.. to tell you honestly I felt bad too when I saw this post. I will just want to share to you, what I’ve seen in the show “CITIZEN PINOY” by ATTY. MICHAEL GURFINKEL. There’s one Filipino-American whose working in the US for 10 years. He send an application for a petition of his wife. When his wife was interviewed in the USEmbassy, she admitted that she used drugs 10 years ago. At that moment, she was denied.

This Fil-AM Man, went to the show CITIZEN PINOY and personally asked Atty. Michael Gurfinkel about his case. Atty. Michael, said there’s no way to appeal since its Drug Issue.

Anyway, I don’t want you to feel more bad Larry.. Try to check some legal assistance regarding this matter.

I’m really sorry about this. :(

Thats exactly what i am saying since it is a Drug Issue and a country like Philippines. :wacko:

Go get married in another country. Maybe its too late now since Manila already denied the visa, but I'd investigate the possibility.

A K-3 marriage visa will process at the country where you get married, not in Manila. Flights to Hong Kong are cheap and short from Manila and she doesn't need a visa for short stays. She would only have to go twice, once for the medical and once for the interview.

I think USCIS will retain a record of the petition. If they applied again it will come up in their computer records.

We're denied, too. Just this month. But it's not hard for us 'coz we haven't processed any papers yet before we got denied. It's ok. There's still hope. Don't give up. Believe in ur love w/ each other. We can do it :)

Exactly...Even if you get married in another country, they wont let her through at the US borders.. So the only option is you go live in her country or another one besides Canada or United States.

I dont know why you didnt find out before the interview though. A "true" relationship involve to know about our partner's past life..But hey they say love can be blind.

I"m so sorry for your situation Larry...May God help you go through it. (F)

Shabu - methampethamine is illegal in the Philippines and even just a possession of 1-gram if caught can put you in jail for years and not just rehab. And it have more complications and far worst than marijuana or cocaine.

Panel Physicians (SLEC or even in other countries) cannot deny an applicant based on the medical results. That is written in the Technical Instructions for Panel Physicians. All they can do is put remarks about their findings (Category A, B then put remarks like will need further evaluation in the US or will continue treatment/rehab in the US/upon arrival - if the case is medical or psychological in nature). In cases of drugs and highly communicable disease (those written as reasons for visa ineligibility), panel physicians can just place their remarks/findings and it is up to the CO/Adjudicator to give the applicant the good or bad news.

Here's the site for Classes of Aliens Ineligible for a Visa and Waiver of Ineligibility from the NVC website:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/ineligib...ities_1364.html

Good Luck!

SLEC is the front line for the US Embassy. They're not just doing a medical exam, they're checking you out and can effectively cause a denial with what they report to the Embassy. My wife worked in a meat shop and had a few small cuts on her hands and arms from slipping with the knife when she cut meat. The SLEC doc was asking her about it but she didn't understand why. I told her they were just wanting to know if she was suicidal. One of my wife's co-workers applied for a K-1 and lied about having children. The doc was very curious why she had stretch marks if she didn't have any kids. We'll find out today if she got busted at the Embassy.
