okay, asking fedi for academic advice~ I'm probs overthinking this, but thought I'd ask anyway: Is it a red flag if I say sorry for slow research progress due to visa stuff?

so context: I've was hired as a postdoc back in Sept, but my contract is stated to start only once my visa is approved, and due to messups by the uni, this got delayed by 2 months. In the meanwhile I've been paid and working under my phd advisor, while working on my research with my postdoc advisor in my free time

anyway, as my PhD advisor is the one who's paying me, his research takes priority, and my updates to my postdoc advisor over the months while waiting haven't been as consistent as I have liked

I haven't received any complaints or anything from them, but from what I understand, hiring a postdoc as a junior faculty has some risks,because you're also busy with reaching tenure and stuff and you don't want to dedicate too much time to managing a postdoc etc. so being aware of that I feel like pressure to demonstrate that hiring me was a good decision and like that I won't let them down?

I sent my postdoc advisor a message saying that the visa stuff was done, and sorry for the slow progress and that I will be sure to pick up the pace once I've moved, but didn't get a response so now I'm overthinking it --- like is saying this suggesting that I'll need a level of micromanaging that is too much? or like does it imply that I view them as too performance oriented? or...
