CO will assume you are a highly addicted weed smoker that took a break to pass the medical. CO "knows" you will likely resume your evil drug use once you enter the US. And to support your habit you will begin selling drugs to little old ladies and school children to support you drug use. It is YOUR burden to prove them wrong. As many have said here: Good luck

I have nothing to prove. I already know the classification I got. I used a lamp to look through the envelope and scrutinize what is on the paper without opening it. My classification is NO APPARENT DEFECT, DISEASE OR DISABILITY. No box mentioning SUSTAINED RECESSION of drug use, CLASS A or CLASS B, nor boxes such as DRUG ADDICTION or DRUG USE are marked. NOTHING WRONG. The only issues I saw were that my EYES condition is marked ABNORMAL because I have vision problems in my right eye. Also, the doctor marked the box that indicates ASTHMA because I've always had a RHINITIS problem all my life, but overall he said I had NO MEDICAL PROBLEMS preventing me from travelling and wish me A GREAT TRIP just as happened with the JA guy

Admitting drug use in the past is not the only aspect a doctor has to entitle you as a DRUG USER or DRUG ADDICT. They see your hands, your teeth, your tongue as well as your x-ray, which would show the effects of abuse drugs such as marijuana. They take into account the signs on your body, so if I were an actual junkie, he would have noticed that!

Well, in my personal case, my national ID # is the same number used in my passport. However, my passport book number is different. I don't know how things work in your country, but I believe each new passport has a different book number. If your passport has a book number and you included it on your DS-160, then, I assume that's the passport you should use as I think that expect to stamp the visa on that passport. If your passport is actually in a terrible condition, which you think could cause problems in your process, then I suggest you to change it. Nevertheless, you should have changed it from the very beginning, I mean at the time of submitting the I-129 Form.

Anything you post seems in one way or another to have a reason for some so-called-know-it-all to claim you will get a denial. Every case is different. It all depends on the day of the interview and how both parties, the CO and the applicant handle the situation.

In Bogota, no. The interview takes place inside embassy grounds, but outside. You walk up to a sealed window in which the CO sits on the other side, and you have to pick up a phone to talk to the CO. Your fiancé can stand next to you, but he won't be able to know any of the questions the CO will ask you, just your responses to the questions. There are actually 2 windows you go to: the first one you hand all your stuff in to the Colombian consul, and then you have a long wait until they call your name. The second window is where you have your actual interview with the American consul. Be prepared because it is all outside still and it does get a bit cool there.

Thank you. It's gonna be my 4th time at the Bogotá embassy. It can be very cold. Well, I thought he would be asked questions

Most of times, a petitioner doesn't involved at beneficiary's interview for a K-1 visa. A few of those did experience though, I read there was couple got denied because the answered did not match between the petitioner and his beneficiary. I believe she's from Cambodia.

As myself, the CO did not ask any question to my fiancé since the interview had taken place in a small room. There are some benefits if your fiancé is coming to your interview. It gives you strength, you have a company while you're waiting, and share the good news when you are approved. Also, when I told the CO that my fiancé was with me, he stopped give me questions and after that I got approved. He then asked me to get my fiancé, bring him inside, and congratulated us for the visa approval.

I'm tired of the DENY verb. It seems anything you post seems to be a reason for someone to tell you you will get a denial.

My fiance is coming down to Bogotá for my visa interview and I would like to know if he will be asked questions and if so, what kind of questions we can expect from the CO.

There are things the Dr wont tell you. And I'm sure you probly didn't get to "spy" everything in the envelope.

Only the CO will get to see that.

Final point; you admitted to have used "drugs" before. you probly just stopped cuz you was aware of your interview coming up.

Like i said, you admitted to have used "drugs" before, that's a red flag!

The doctor actually told everything about my check-up was great and my result a very visible...You can clearly see i'm not classified as CLASS A or CLASS B...You assume knowing nothing about my life...

I'm not the CO, but lemme think what he'll think;

You are an addict, you stopped (paused) cuz of your visa processing. once you have it approved and you migrate to the US, you'll start (continue) your abuse and probly promote it, while they don't want that.

Well, we all know they legalized it in Colorado, we can't but just play by their rules.

Hope and pray for the best outcome in your case. ...sorry but.... i see a denial coming yo way!

My medical results dont say I use drugs, they actually say there is NO APPARENT DEFECT, DISEASE OR DISABILITY. the boxes for CLASS A and CLASS B are not even marked, nor the boxes that indicate any drug use.

Maybe but you still have that monkey on your back. What will you say if asked at the interview?

Well, that's a question they almost never ask if your medical test doesn't indicate anything. But if they ask about that, I will probably tell the truth and see what happens as far as I know the CO would order a new medical check up to verify the results I hand over at the embassy

*woman, but yea I totally understand. You'll be fine, don't worry.

Canadian girls are beautiful, nice and friendly

That's messed up. But then they go and legalize it in the US. I mean, I get that it's illegal and all, but it's so darn common and I just don't feel like having used it once 10 years ago deserves a denial and ban.

Once when I was crossing the US border, they pulled my bag out and said their dogs smelled marijuana on it (to this day, I can't figure out why). They started searching it and asking questions about my drug use and one of the first things the guy said to me was "Look, we don't care if you have used it in the past, just don't bring it into my country". That made me feel like these past run-ins with drugs wouldn't be so important. O well. Immigration is too subjective!

I agree. Way too harsh.

A) It's funny that you did that

B) I think you're fine.

HAHA I was freaking out, man. I've been with my fiance for 6 years and I just couldn't bear the possibility of getting a visa denial for that because I'm no junkie...

it means that you passed the physical exam and there is no medical reason for denial

Thank you, ma friend...:') I felt really bad because I told the physician I had tried weed once, but I told him it was only once. It seems he saw I am not a junkie or drug abuser indeed...

If the doctor did not put anything, then day don't say anything about it and see how it goes at interview. I mean what other options do you have, no sense in worrying about it now

That doesn't answer my question, sweetie. Read and tell me what that information means.

I managed to look through my medical check result envelope with a lamp and I could see the physician marked the box that says NO APPARENT DEFECT, DISEASE OR DISABILITY and didn't mark the ones that say CLASS A and CLASS B CONDITIONS.

I was freaking out about the results of my check up and how it could make everything result in a visa denial, but I think what these papers say is that I have no problems just as the doctor told me in the appointment. What do you think about it?

You admitted to using drugs recently.

Prepare for a denial.

What do you think about this:"I just used a lamp to look through the medical results envelop without opening it and I could see that the boxes which say CLASS A CONDITIONS and CLASS B CONDITIONS aren't marked, but the box that says NO APPARENT DEFECT, DISEASE OR DISABILITY ***is CHECK***! what does that mean? I could also see the doctor didn't check the boxes that talk about addiction and drug abuse. Do you think I am in good shape based on this information?"

Yes, as everyone has said, it's not the doctor that makes the final decision. I know hearing denial is scary, but stay positive. When is your interview?

Again, you might be okay, especially if you tested clean at the doctors. Just keep your fingers crossed the CO sees it that way too..

My interview is next Friday. Well, my point is that actually said there was no problem related to my health that could result in a problem for my process. He said everything (my blood test, x-rays...) was great except my right eye, which I seem to have a problem with, but he said it wasn't an big issue. I remembered he asked why I had done pot and if I had done it before. I said I did it because my roommates were doing, but I clarified it was the first and only time I did it.

Did you have to do a urine test? And issues that arise at the medical are not discussed with you. Your results are unknown to you, and then the CO will be the one to let you know of issues and if you are approved or denied. It is possible for you to be approved anyway, but you should be aware that you could be looking at a denial and 1 year ban for the drug use.

No, I didn't have to do any urine test. The doctor was very open about my check-up. He told me my X-rays showed no problem, that my blood test didn't show any issue. He told me there was no problem preventing me from having my trip. So why would he say that to me knowing that having used Marijuana could lead to a visa denial.

I had my general check-up today. The doctor asked me from one moment to another if I smoked weed and said I had smoked 6 months ago. He asked me if I had smoked before that and I said no. Do you think if that had been an issue, he would have told me. I got my results anyways and he actually said everything was great and even wished me a great journey. Do you think he hadn't given me the results if that had been an issue?

I have my interview on the 21st and all I think about is how long our journey has been. I remember walking to the airport with my boo and how we promised we would grow old together. I remember that day as though it had been yesterday. I was 19, now I'm 25 and I still think the same way. It feels so good to have a chance.

How long will it take for my passport to be at the DHL office after the visa approvl if I am in Bogotá?

Everything went smoothly. Actually, I thought it would take longer based on what I was told. They took a blood sample and then they did the X-rays. It took me about 45 minutes. I went there at 7 am. Remember to take your passport, passport picture with your name and case number written on the backside. Also, you shouldn't eat anything before they do the X-rays and take the blood sample. You must provide name of the physician your having your general check-up with as well.

All he needs to do is bring his US passport with him so he can go inside the embassy and be at the interview with you. That's all.

Thank Botera

Do I need to let them know my fiance is going with me?

I just noticed I didn't include that piece of information in my I-129 petition, but I did it in my DS160. What are the consequences of that omission in the petition?

I already have copies of my original birth certificate and the updated version as well as a baptism certificate which I appear with my original last names on. Both documents were issued after 2 years of my birth. The birth certificate was issued when I was 4 and my birth certificate when I was 7. What do you guys see in my case. What's the effect of this situation in my visa approval?
