Immigration, fiance visa, does past use of drugs affect application
Hi, I'm in the process filing for immigration to the US (I'm a Canadian citizen). The process I'm doing is the Fiance Visa. During the medical exam, I admitted to smoking marijuana in the past. How can this affect my chances of being accepted? Is this something that they can hold against me during the interview?

Drug users are among those excludible from entering the US. See INA 212(a)(1)(A)(iv) (In general.-Any alien ... who is determined (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to be a drug abuser or addict, is inadmissible. ) The statutes can be found through www.uscis.gov .
How your past use of the drug would affect your petition depends on the specific facts of your case. You may want to review your facts and options with an attorney.
