Hi everybody,

i have read in different posts on visa journey 'red flag' what this word mean ?

I'm the beneficiary, i got my CR1 visa on the first week on October, im having some problmes with my husband since we got married and since we started this visa process , because of these problmes we had before to postopne the interview to have more time to may be find a solutions to the difficulties we are going through, until now things do not improve and im not sure what to do! to activate this visa and enter to USA with my husband , or to let it expire! I'm confused, and really I do not know what to do, i need your advice please !,

i have some questions, i appreciate your help, if i let my visa expire (the expiration date : end of january) what wil happens? do i have to give back the yellow envelope to the US consulate in my country ? do i have in advance to let know the US consulate im not going to enter to USA? im thinking about all kind of questions right now , because im tired and i can't imagine myself having more problems while i move there, and while i will probably be with no friends and no support

If the marriage lasted and the situation improved , after the visa expiration , Is there any other chances to get 'one day' another visa ? will my case draw attention and may be will considered as a 'red flag' !!??
Good luck to you

You do not need to notify anyone about not using your visa, you just don't use it. Once the visa expires, if you ever wish to immigrate to the US in the future you would need to begin the whole process from scratch, with your husband petitioning you again. Right now that's taking about a year.

It's not necessarily a red flag to receive an immigrant visa and then not use it, but I'm sure the interviewing officer would want to know the details at any future interviews you had.
