US Marriage Visas (K-3, CR-1, IR-1) Thailand: Issues Regarding Marijuana

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing US Marriage Visas. We are specifically discussing this in the context of Marijuana and/or Cannabis. 

So, what are we talking about here? Well in Thailand and we have done a number of videos on this channel regarding this topic, there has been some relaxation of the laws and regulations surrounding Marijuana or Cannabis, Hemp and products associated therewith, cultivation here in Thailand. Again I would not by any stretch of the term say it is legal but let's say they are deregulating the legal environment surrounding the Cannabis crop if you will. 

That stated, American law remains what it is and the Immigration Nationality Act still places heavy restrictions on travel ability for those who have been involved with Marijuana usage, possession, sale, trafficking etc. For this reason, those that may be immigrating to the United States, even if they have never been convicted of a crime involving Cannabis or Marijuana, mere involvement depending on the facts of the situation with Cannabis or Marijuana, again usage, sale etc. procurement, cultivation, all of this could have an impact on a possible Visa application for example for a K-3, CR-1 Visa or an IR-1 Visa to the United States. If the applicant has ever been involved with Cannabis or Marijuana that can have tremendous negative consequences on a case. 

For this reason, if you are looking to immigrate to the United States and you have these issues arising in your past, it is probably a good idea to contact a legal professional to gain some insight and guidance into how best to proceed.
