Medical Exam

[vlmora2009 0]

Something to share with everyone, my husband's interview for his visa is scheduled for Aug. 20 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Almost a week ago he completed his medical exam, we didnt know a drug test was part of the exam. My husband smoked some pot and his test came positive, everything else was fine.

None of the information given about the exam explains anything about a drug test. Has anyone experienced or knows anything about this? my husband was told by the physician who completed the exam that he will need to go and see a psychologist before his interview next week, and then the final decision will be up to consul at the embassy, and the might need to stay in Honduras for 3 yrs and go thru drug testing every 3 months, he smoked pot a party a week before the exam, we didnt realize that it will become such a heartbreaking situation, we had been waiting for this for almost 3 years. If anyone can shine some light into this I will truly appreciate it. We are devastated, he knows it was an awful choice but he didnt know it affect us this way.

you didn't think committing an act which is defined as illegal in this country would be looked down upon by the US Government ??

good luck to you...hope someone can shed some light on what you need to do next

It's a serious matter to the OP - and you guys both hijacked the thread with Off Topic style comments..

(And everybody loves sifting through giant quoted replies too...)

Our lawyer told us, before the medical exam, if you are caught with drugs in your system, it is a 3 year ban before you can come and interview again. Also during those three years you must be tested for drugs on a regular basis. Our lawyer said to make sure you did not use any drugs and NEVER admit to using drugs in your lifetime! If you even admitted you smoked 1 marijuana cigarette 15 years ago, you have lost your chance! When my husband went for his exam in Mexico last week he said he never useed drugs but did drink occassionally. He was then sent to the psychologist. If you admit to drugs, alcohal, have tatoos or body piercings,,,you are sent to the psychologist) She tried everyhting to get him to admit he has TRIED some type of drug at some point in his life (he stood his ground and said no ) And tried to get him to admit he drank more than just the occassional beer....but he didn't. They are very STRICT about these rules! It was a very deep interogation!

I am so sorry you did not know this and that no one ever told you!

Good luck

im sorry, but i dont see how tattoos could affect it or you could be sent to a psych. so many people have tattoos nowadays and its not illegal.

anyway, i agree on the drugs stuff but come on.. thats insane!

i guess maybe its in countries other than australia they discriminate due to tattoos?

weird indeed...

Thanks to all, for your positive comments. I am pretty aware of stupid choice of my husband and he is aware of it as well, in any way I am condoning the use of pot, I never done myself. We are just trying to find a solution. Once again thanks for your positive feedback.

No offense intended for anyone and while I agree, we all know that using drugs is a HUGE no-no... still, these people are about to embark on a really tragic, sad turn of events on their journey -- I personally don't think it's anything to laugh at or poke fun at or ridicule.

Yes, most of us don't do drugs and know that it's verboten in regard to immigration as well as civil law but still, seriously to laugh at someone's huge misfortune is really unkind.
