Do they do a drug test for the interview for green card?

[Cardinal6669 10]

Or before the interview?

Want to know if I should stop smoking weed or not.

[Bondgirl0078 3]

Omg...lol

[Boiler 43,622]

Don't forget to offer the IO one.

Will it pass the security check at the local USCIS office?

[Alaska2012 462]

I guess it depends on how you plan to answer if you are questioned about drug use

Most likely not tested but if you plan on answer truthfully then why stop?

[MrsBonsu 138]

Are we being punked on vj?? ?

[Cardinal6669 10]

Well, I'm not going to go to the interview high obviously. I am just wandering if I should abstain or not.

The interview is not your problem. Your medical is where all your plans and dreams will come to an end.

Not sure how it works if you're going through consular processing but you have to go through a medical check if adjusting status. The physician would then fill out form I-693 to accompany your application for permanent residency. I would presume it's the same for consular processing.

In the medical form, the physician will have to certify that you do not have any class A or class B medical conditions.

Class A conditions include:

Tuberculosis

Syphilis

Chancroid

Gonorrhea

Granuloma inguinaleExternal Web Site Icon

Lymphogranuloma venereum

Hansen's disease (leprosy)External Web Site Icon

Mental Disorders (with Associated Harmful Behavior)

Substance Abuse

Since you are not allowed to read what the physicians says in the report, it is possible that it could cause a problem for you.

There are also potential issues with/about moral turpitude and such. I would abstain if I were you. And even better, consider quitting. If not, just wait a while. There's plenty of time to smoke after you are a permanent resident.

Good luck.

are you planning on lie-ing on the medical intake form or during the interview with a panel physician prior to an interview at the IV Unit ?

or have you been smoking weed since you got into the usa ?

[aruadha 58]

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you (he) is here (adjusting from a K1), then the medical is already done and he won't need another?

If you are still back in AUS, and need a medical then weed is a biggie. You can message me if you want, my husband came over on K1 from Melbourne.

Great reply from Dario2012. Don't understand why it's so hard for people to answer simple questions WITHOUT judgment here on VJ. Smh...

I admit, I try to answer questions without judgement or sarcasm, but this post would challenge a saint to reply without snark. Immigration is a serious business. If one can't figure out that they should not be doing drugs throughout the process, then I'm not sure any advice on VJ can help such a person.

Considering that smoking weed is still federally illegal, and it is also illegal in the state of Texas, you do the math genious.
