Asked 8/4/17 – Pharr, TX

I have a green card since March 2017.
I have a job interview coming up and they do take a drug test. I just wanted to know what happens if it still comes out positive? I smoked 1 month ago at a party to try it.
Will I be deported if I fail the test at my job interview? Will they report it to USCIS?

Answer

A private employer is under no obligation to report the results of a drug test to USCIS. I suppose anything is POSSIBLE, but I would not be concerned about this situation resulting in your deportation.
