Have I just messed up?

I just had my medical at a clinic in london for my spouse visa.

The Doctor asked if I had ever done drugs while holding the speciman jar and I thought I should be honest just in case I was tested.

I told her I had smoked weed recently and that 25 years ago I had coke and MDMA.

She tested me for drugs and said that they will do a random test for weed at a later date to make sure I am not an addict.

Am I doomed?

Normally it is a 12 month ban.

There are two issues, the medical aspect and the criminal aspect. Doctor does not make the call, the Consulate will when you interview.

Have you done any Rehab? If not something to look into.

If proven that you are an addict, then yes you are doomed or considered inadmissible. . If not, most likely a one year ban.

However, you can check this link for a much detailed info:

As someone who has closely researched this topic, which includes DUI, drug use....

What class did you receive post-exam? a Class A, or a Class B?

Here are the fully inclusive technical instructions regarding mental behavior and substance use/abuse:

http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/pdf/mental-health-pp-ti.pdf

As others have mentioned.... If there was not enough evidence to support classification, your application will be put on hold until that evidence is available. Typically a clean urine for 1 year.

Class A = inadmissable

Class B = admissable with waiver

* You can fall into a CLASS A if you use any controlled substance AND you have 2+ symptoms of substance use disorder

* You can fall into a CLASS B if you use any controlled substance AND you have a substance-induced disorder

EDIT: there is an option where someone has substance use and has less than 2 symptoms, but I cannot find any correlated data on the internet regarding this. Maybe this is when applicants have to wait the 1 year to prove they are clean?, I am just assuming here.

I would highly advise asking a nurse-friend to read through that manual with you. It will help you to understand where you might fall along those categories. I am thankful that I stumbled across this document --before-- my wifes appointment.

Please let us know the outcome, because I am in a similar situation. It sounds like your wife will be even more pissed because there will likely be a delay and you may even also need a waiver.
