Hi Im a British citizen and was refused my fiance visa at the Embassy in london Admitted to taking cannibas way back in 1996 at my medical a urine sample for drug screening was taken and obviosly came back clear but was told on the day of my interview that I was still a drug abuser and so refused my visa and banned from travelling to the USA for 3 years under the VWP and was told by the offical who interviewed me that I would then have to prove I was clean.Does anyone know how I can do this been clean for 10 years now and passed random drug test so how can I prove it in another 3 years.Now my US girlfriend is coming to the UK hopefully on a fiance visa so When the 3 years is up and Im able to prove im clean will they allow me to travel again under the VWP as i want need a fiance visa or is that me off it for life

This is much too complicated for an online forum, you should contact a qualified US immigration attorney.

By the way, you may want to check the following

http://www.usvisalawyers.co.uk/article7.htm

In particular

"2. Criminal and Related Grounds:

Excludable on criminal and related grounds are the following:

1. Aliens convicted of, and those who admit having committed either
1. A crime involving moral turpitude (or an attempt or conspiracy to commit such a crime), or
2. A violation of (or a conspiracy or attempt to violate) any law or regulation relating to a controlled substance.

Exceptions: an alien will not be ineligible for a visa if the alien committed only one crime involving moral turpitude and if
1. the crime was committed when the alien was under the age of 18 and the crime was committed (and the alien was released from any confinement imposed for the crime) more than 5 years before the date of application for a visa or admission to the U.S., or
2. the maximum penalty possible for the crime did not exceed imprisonment for 1 year, and if the alien was convicted of such crime, the alien was not sentenced to a term of imprisonment in excess of 6 months.
"

You may also want to post in the following forums. There are some US immigration attorneys who occasionally post there. Good luck.
