Will admitting the use of using marijuana result in the denial of admittance to the US?
We are curriently in Ciudad Juarez. My husband admitted using marijuana 13 years ago and only once before entering the US during his medical exam. He has no criminal history and we had a 601a waiver approved in the US. I am worried that his admittance of this will cause a denial. Please advise on what the procedure is on this issue?

Yes, this wil be a major problem. He may get a denial, but you will likely have to appeal or file another Waiver.
