Q: Hi I am In h1b visa .... Went to emergency room through 911 for marijuana overdose in Las Vegas where it is legal.
I live in New Jersey and I visited Las Vegas and used recreational marijuana ... I fainted in airport and 911 was called . I went to emergency room . I told them that I used marijuana . They got my details and Ssn from me . Now my worry is ,whether 911,airport officials or hospital will be reporting this incident to uscics or fed or homeland security that I used marijuana ? Will there be any issue in my future h1b extensions ,green card or obtaining us citizenship? I am worried please advise is there any possibilities of trouble in future ? If so what should I do to tackle it ?
