So I was close to get a job as a 911 dispatcher. I made it all the way up to lie detector. The SGT told me when it was over with that he didn't see anything alarming but he still had to make a report.

I got a phone call one week later telling me that the offer has been withdrawn.

My concern is.. my husband is not a citizen. Does that matter? He is a resident. My record is clean. I have never stolen, I tried MJ once but that's about it... I am a good person but the only think I can think of is the immigritation thing...

Is that possible?

If there were several people up to that point, they may have picked someone else?

Husband is not a citizen, but is he here legally ?

And where did the one time use of pot come up, that is a no no to some depatments

Oh the MJ I was 15 and tried it. I admitted to it but I don't even smoke or drink. I seriously have a good head on my shoulders but as a kid I tried it once.
My husband and I went through the Immigration process and he is now a permanent resident but we are currently waiting for a couple of years so he can be a citizen.

I was the last one to get the job. I was it! I had it! UGH! I am disappointed :(
