A noncitizen is inadmissible if a consular officer or the DHS has “reason to believe” that the noncitizen[179] (or, in some cases, the noncitizen’s spouse, son or daughter[180]) has at any time been an illegal trafficker in any controlled substance.[181]  There are only a few available means to waive inadmissibility under this ground.[182]
