[size="5"][/size] Hi I’m new here …….anyone have experience that had using a drug 4 years ago??
Because on June 1 is my medical and im afraid about it cause i use drugs 4 years ago? They can discover it??? ... Oh my god! I cannot stop thinking about what might happen in that day! all the forms and papers were done...only waiting for that day Please help me

WELL I DONT CONDONE USING DRUGS
HARMFUL THING
BUT I WOULD THINK YOU ARE IN THE CLEAR
AS FOR THE NON-DRUG, THE PLANT OF MARIJUANA
THAT WILL CLEAR OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM IN 2 WEEKS TO 1 MONTH
SO I WOULD THINK THAT DRUGS WILL SURELY HAVE CLEANED OUT IN 4 YEARS
I THINK YOU ARE OK

AND BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

How do you think they can detect drugs in your system from FOUR years ago? They can't.

Drug abuse or addiction is a visa ineligibility requiring a waiver. Therefore, if you are asked about drug use at the medical or interivew, be sure to tell the truth and make it very clear that it was FOUR years ago so there is no question that you are NOT a drug addict or abuser.

Take a look at this link: http://www.libertydrugtest.com/times.htm I would say you have nothing to worry about and would encourage you to refrain from drug use all together. Good luck with your petition

thank you so much for the really quick responses

Keep in mind that you need to stay well away from anyone who is smoking drugs, as that will show up in your system, even if you haven't used it yourself.

That is a difficult thing to answer during the medical. How old are you? We are always told to tell the truth. Use of illegal drugs (not only those categorized as drug addicts), even one time use can have a back lash. Illegal drug use is a reason for visa denial.

2 scenarios: A 50+ year old man applying for Immigrant visa (petitioned by wife), was denied visa because he admitted that during his teens (18 year old) he "tried" Marijuana once out of curiosity. Out of frustrations and anger, he said he would not go to this Country (US) anymore. -> this is my friend's relative.

A 24 y/o man (petitoned by his Mother) was denied visa because he admitted using drugs for years when he was younger. Now, he is banned from entering US, and all his family and siblings are already in the US. -> this is my co-employee's cousin.

Use of Illegal drugs is ground for Visa ineligibility/denial but there's a waiver for this.

Meth and Marijauna is usually cleared out from our system in a week's time, so refrain from taking any drugs/medications atleast a motnh before your medical. Also refrain from taking alcoholic beverages and smoking (if you do smoke) in the mean time. Drink lots of fluids, eat healthy foods, have a healthy life style.

IT WONT SHOW UP
AND DRUGS MAKE YOU FORGET
SO IF YOU CANT REMEMBER YOU EVER USED A DRUG
DO NOT SAY SO

DO NOT SAY SO!!

I'm not a drug addict ...I was just try before for 2 times but it was 4 years ago and yeah I do smoke I just stop smoking two weeks ago. I smoke 1 stick for one day sometimes 2. hmmm im kind of nervous now.
Well I'm 23 years old now. I use to taste drugs when I was 19 years old.

I plan not to say cause it was long time ago I already forget those dark side of my life..this things so stressful really i want this to be over soooo soon.

Good for you, cigarettes are the hardest to give up

Yeah your right but for me isn’t hard to give up cause cause cigarettes isn’t my habit yey eating hotdog is my hobbit lol just teasin..... peace

Yup. I have seen on these forums that simple "yes I tried marijuana once" turn in to a visa denial.

I don't even think that my husband's doctor asked him about drug use. There may have been one question about being an addict (maybe) - but I don't think so.
I don't suggest lying - but I do suggest answering only what you are asked - and no more.
It doesn't seem that they are interested in whether or not you tried a drug once, but rather if you were ever addicted.

However, every consulate may be different - I'm just trying to help.

Yeah I know you do and i want to say thank you....pray for me huh??!!!

goodluck

What on earth makes you think that??

if you cant remember
and it is difficult to remember 4 years back

DO NOT say anything
if they ask you and you cant remember
it is not a lie
SAY NO, I NEVER HAVE TRIED

agree
