Re: Unknown ban and I-129f visa
I've seen a lot of cases like that from people from the Philippines, and not too many from places like the UK. I'm not sure why it makes such a difference, and especially at the US airport! I actually had not read a case yet where someone was refused at the airport for past drug use. But I'm holding onto that fact that there are people who are approved even with past experimentation.
As for the second one, that is crazy. I do not understand how this system can be so flawed in that sense. Thank you for sharing these.

No such thing. What is really written in the passport?
Too late now, perhaps, but what did he do with the previous passport?

It would seem that it is very unusual for someone to be tested or asked about past drug use, this is London.
Unless there is some specific reason.
Other Consulates, you can guess which ones, it is common.

I'll ask him for the code again and report back
He lost the previous passport about two years ago

Since you were a camp counselor, I would assume that the person the camp director called for you to speak with was not USCIS or the border agents but the agency which placed in that counselor position.
If that assumption is correct, then the agency might well have a record of your drug useage and reason for your dismissal. Did they make it known to the USCIS? No clue.

Re: Unknown ban and I-129f visa
To the OP: just because a visa is cancelled doesn't mean you automatically go out of status.
Personally, this whole incident sounds like a total bullshit scare story from whoever was running this 'camp'. If an offence had been committed the police would have been called. They would have dealt with it formally. Speaking to some mystery person on a telephone, then talking nonsense regarding 'cancelling a visa' (which as Ian notes they have no power to do, only the Federal gvt can do this), makes me think the whole thing was their internal disciplinary process.
Personally I would simply answer the questions asked when undergoing the visa process as truthfully as you can remember, and see what happens.
I think you'll be fine, FWIW.

Hmm, I think I was asked about drink, I do not smoke anyway but guess that may have been relevant for the X Ray.

You all have made me feel immensely better, thank you. Here's to hoping he isn't asked about drug use! I personally thought maybe it was just a scare tactic as well.
I've read that "have you ever abused drugs" is on thr questionnaire and it's only if you answer yes on the questionnaire that you're asked further questions about it. Since this is serious stuff I'm also going to assume that by "abuse" they mean use.
The fiancé went to bed without giving me the passport code, sorry. Darn time differences.
