What happens if your US visa, B1/B2 expires (unused visa) without travelling [duplicate]

What happens if your US visa expires without travelling? Indeed, I have already travelled to the United States before. But with another visa (this unused B1/B2), some family restrictions, my wife's death, prevented me from travelling during the two years of validity of my visa. Would it be a problem to get another visa now?

Nothing happens. If anything, it helps build the perception that you don't have immigrant intent.

An unused non immigrant visa does not cause any future immigration issues. If asked for a reason in the next interview, it is perfectly alright to mention the reasons you have listed here.

I'm sorry for your loss.

What happens if your b1 b2 visa expires?

The status does not end when the visa expires. However, you will require a valid visa anytime you seek entry into the U.S. If your visa expires and you are traveling internationally, you will need to get a new visa before returning to the U.S.

Can I stay in the US with an expired b1 b2 visa?

For example, if you are an Indian national, your B-2 visa is most likely valid for ten years, so its expiration date is far into the future. However, the expiration date on the visa does not govern your authorized stay in the United States. it merely allows you to enter the United States during that time period.

Can I stay in the US with an expired b1 visa?

If the passport containing your visa has expired, you may continue to use the valid visa provided that your reason for travel is consistent with the classification of visa you hold, and you carry a valid passport of the same nationality as well as the passport containing the valid visa when you travel.
