Visa expiring but not ready to move!

[hannah3737 0]

Hello, my husband has recently got his CR-1 visa, however it is expiring in April and due to several problems/issues we are unable to move right now! I've seen people write on forums before, "just go for a day, get your visa stamped and then leave". Is this possible? We are planning to move asap, but I don't want to do this and then send off any red flags. I know that I have to go with him, and we also have to provide an address for the greencard to be sent to, which is no problem, as I have family in the USA. Has anyone done this, or have you heard anyone talking about it?

Thanks so much,

Hannah

You dont have to move. Just stay where you are and you can start the process over.... Or you can do what my mother and father is doing right now. Come to the USA to activate your status and then go back to the UK. You can return within a year and not require an reentry permit.

Think about this: if you were planning to travel to the US to attend a wedding, but were not ready to move, you would have to activate the visa even though you were not moving at that time. Generally, once you have activated the visa you should complete your move within 6 months.

Should complete the move within 6 months from the date the visa was activated..? The visa is valid 6 months from the date it was issued. The immigrant can travel to the USA and then depart to completing what ever business he has to deal with.

Thanks for your replies! You have definitely made me feel more at ease about the situation. I think we are going to go over to USA a couple days before the visa expires as you both said, and then return to the UK for a couple months just til we can get everything sorted. I have family so I can give them that address and they can mail the green card there. Lets just hope it all works out!
