  1. Incorrect information - He can file the paperwork once he has his green card, but the processing time for that preference category is lengthy. Once he gets his citizenship, it will be a briefer wait. However, he can file the paperwork as a green card holder, and get the process started. Then once he gets his citizenship, the preference category will change and the visa will be available sooner.

  2. A joint is not major, the are more concerned about trafficking, and based on your post he was not a repeated offender. He was at the wrong place wrong time he should be ok, don't stress it. Honesty is key.

    You can only speak to your specific country - In Jamaica, yes, it can be considered a major factor - there are members who have been denied over a criminal charge for possession, even for just a joint.

  3. He needs to find out exactly what his police record says, and I would talk to an attorney in Jamaica about it - did he go to court? If it wasn't his, and he was innocent, then he should have fought it - Simply being arrested for something is not a crime, it's the outcome of that arrest that will determine what occurred - you need more information about exactly what went on, and not just word of mouth from him - an immigration attorney cannot help you now - I would delay the interview and talk to a JA attorney about making sure his police record is clear
