Particularly when it comes to the medical test, the green card application procedure might be intimidating. Take a minute to relax if you're worried about how your previous choices, like using marijuana, may impact your future. These concerns are not unique to you. "Will a past history of smoking marijuana affect my chances?" was one applicant's anxious inquiry regarding the mandatory medical test.
 
Three weeks ago, the applicant, whose spouse is filing an I-130 and I-485 application for permanent residency, stopped consuming marijuana in order to get ready for the process. His worry? His $3,000 application might be derailed by a possible drug test since THC, a component in cannabis, can remain in the body for weeks or even months. So, is a drug test part of the Green Card medical exam?
 
Here’s the clarity: For the I-485 Adjustment of Status, the exam is designed to ensure you meet health-related requirements that protect public safety. It includes:

A review of your medical history
Evaluations of your physical and mental health
Proof of vaccinations

Fortunately, a regular drug test is typically not necessary. Any history of substance misuse or addiction is the main focus of medical professionals. Previously using marijuana recreationally or casually usually doesn't cause any issues.
 
Does THC in your System Matter?

Although THC can remain in your body for weeks, quitting lately (say, three weeks ago) demonstrates your resolve to improve. Civil surgeons want to make sure that there are no lingering problems that might affect your health or your ability to reside in the United States, not to punish you. You should be doing well if you have quit smoking and don't exhibit any symptoms of dependency. Without the tension, you can still go forward. The secret is transparency. Immigration experts say that disclosing prior usage demonstrates accountability. By quitting before the test and even being ready with an answer if asked about their background, many applicants in comparable circumstances have successfully completed this phase.
