Medical Exam

[jessilveir 5]

Hello, so I have a big concern! My fiancé went to do his medical exam in Mexico City and while answering questions he came across the "drug" questions. He had smoked weed like 2 or 3 time in the past, would there be an issue if he answered truthfully? Can he be denied? K1 Visa.

You must always answer truthfully. He may be subject to a 1 year ban where they may conduct random drug screening but, thats up to the medical staff.

So on the day of his interview in the embassy, would they deny him the visa? Is there a possibility?

Yes, there is that possibility of being denied/one year ban on the day of his interview depending what the medical exam results are.

As stated, its important to always be honest. Lying can lead to misrepresentation which can result in a lifetime ban.

If I read your post correctly, he has already had the medical and was truthful, right? (Good for him!).

If so, and he was not asked to do any follow-up appointments, you should be fine. IF the panel physician was going to find him to be a drug abuser and report that on the medical, he would first need to have a psychological evaluation to support that conclusion. If the panel physician doesn't find that he's a drug abuser, he should have no problem at the interview -- unless he also had an arrest/conviction for drugs.

Yes, he already had his Medical Exam & answered every question truthfully. He wasn't asked to go back for anything extra, just to go pick up his results and that's it. During the interview would he be asked the same questions that were asked during his medical exam?

Question! For his medical they had him tested for simple things, blood, urine, x-rays, eye sight, etc. At the end he went into a psychologist office and was asked about drug use, since he put on the paper the had used before. He stated that he had only smoked three time his whole life and that his last time was 2 years. Maybe I'm over thinking or worrying too much, but I just want be be ready for the outcome. Thanks!

It will be up to the officer at the interview. Be prepared for a denial. At the least it will likely be a recommendation for a waiver or requirement to take drug tests for a period of time.
