Lifetime Ban From Entering the U.S.?

[notmuch88tosay 21]

Hello,

I read a post here that admitting to prior drug use during the medical exam would result in a lifetime ban from being able to enter the U.S., with no waiver or forgiveness considered.

In my opinion that is cruel and heartless beurocratic stupidity.

To keep two people who just want to love each other, apart, because of that, is cruel.

Hollywood stars, rock stars and athletes are treated as if daily drug use is perfectly okay, welcomed and acceptable; illegal aliens sell drugs and are violent...

My question is, what else can result in a lifetime ban that we need to be aware of?

Parking tickets? Spitting on the sidewalk. Refusing to bow to a Government God beaurocrat?

Seriously, anyone have a list?

It doesn't hurt to warn the fiancee of all beaurcratic traps at the interview that could destroy her greatest dream and mine.

Admitting to using drugs is not a life time ban. Being convicted of drug usage, sale etc beyond 30 grams is a life time ban. Being convicted twice of using drugs can lead to a life time ban.

BTW, I am sure being convicted of MURDER will get you a life time ban.

It really depends on the kind of drugs that were used. Did u or your loved one used drugs is this why you are so upset? You can google this information.

The USA is indeed very strict. It can afford to be. Lots of people want in.

You're misinterpreting the law. It doesn't say that they will be banned. It says they are inadmissible. The US government doesn't want aliens with a history of certain crimes coming to the US. Most countries have similar laws. Some inadmissibilities can be be waived if it poses a hardship to a US citizen or LPR. Some automatically expire. Some cannot be waived and never expire.

There's a list of most inadmissibilities in INA section 212(a). Waivers are described in section 212(h).

Maybe the attorney that wrote the article was wrong ? I don't know. Here is more information on it.

The OP never said anything about a Conviction but asked about admission of use in a medical screen. So, not enough detail. We assumed Drug Conviction(s) but never said. I don't know. The OP did not fully give all/enough of the information when posting the Topic is my guess.

Are you aware that you post a link from 2007. That was 4 years ago, laws and rules have been modified since then.

It might interest you to look at the OP's Timeline.

Hey LIFE'SJOURNEY,

Thanks for the info.

Hi Hell0W0rld,

You asked:

"Did u or your loved one used drugs is this why you are so upset?"

Who said I was upset? Oh, yea, you did. And to answer your question, no, like I said in my post...

"It doesn't hurt to warn the fiancee of all beaurcratic traps at the interview that could destroy her greatest dream and mine."

Hey aorobert,

Thanks for your input and opinion. I agree.

Hey JimVaPhuong,

Thanks for the info and thanks for the link, it's always appreciated.

Hey Tim/Mav,

Noone in this family is planning on admitting to using drugs in a medical exam, but you never know what a woman will say. Like I said...

"It doesn't hurt to warn the fiancee of all beaurcratic traps at the interview that could destroy her greatest dream and mine."

Hi DaleFlorida,

Thanks for the link, I appreciate it.

Take care,

if u used drugs in the last 6 months it will come out positive at the blood test. if you admit it at the medical before they find out you might have your interview delayed for 6 months to 1 year and a new medical exam for a confirmation
