Green card holders with Japanese passport aliases

Question

I learned from reading on the internet that many people had the same experience.
When I went back to my hometown, I was instructed by JAL to purchase a ticket with Hanako YamadaSmith as my name on the ticket and passport. I have read that it is now possible to put a space between "Yamada" and "Smith". However, when returning to the U.S., the name on my green card, Hanako Smith, is different from my name on my green card, so I get an X at the immigration kiosk, which is a hassle. I was even sent to another room. It is not that I cannot enter the country, but it is depressing every time. I would like to know about the experiences of green card holders who have recently returned to their home countries. Is the situation still the same?

Some people work well and smoothly with no problems, others get X marks.

what you are saying is messed up
＞ even if the name on the green card and the name on the ticket are different I always get a ticket with my passport name （ my maiden name ）.
That's the airline's name confirmation, so it's obvious there's no problem
It's different from immigration

one just has to change the GC name, or rather, you have to change it.

I don't understand what you are saying more.

airline ticket ＝ it's a ticket ？
I'm just answering your question ？

if the ticket is irrelevant at immigration, does that mean you are taken to another room because you don't match your name with your airline ticket? ？

>1 just have to change the name of the GC, or rather, you have to change it
why do you have to change the name ？?

I see, you are the one who runs away. I guess the reason why you can't explain that you have to change it is because you have no evidence. I can't explain why I have to change my family name, but I have never had a problem with it.

>1 simply change the name of the GC. Or rather, you have to change it.
＞ Why do you have to change your name ？

Because the immigration office says so
Even if you have done so so so far, don't you think it is a good reason to send back to Japan, depending on your case? ？

It's important to understand that the legal name change must take place before you update the green card.

I have a Japan passport with Hanako Yamada
airline ticket reservation and issuance with Hanako Yamada
green card because I married an American
Hanako Johnson
and I have never had a problem.
She said she was called to another room only after she was caught for
DUI in the case of an acquaintance.
I don't know the details, just what my acquaintance said, so I don't need to make any accusatory comments.

Even if I said that ＃ 1'm in trouble because you're having problems
there are real people who say they're fine but they're not
something about 12 years in the US and taking Christmas off doesn't make me feel good.

You just wrote that it was fine from your experience ？ Isn't it funny that you call that insane ？.

In the end, I was able to enter the country every time. By the way, there has been no crime at all in the past. Then
I can enter every time, so I don't need to worry about it.

If I have to change my documents to match my name with my green card
I will not be able to enter , that's a problem.

Don't you think that's a good reason to send it back to Japan, even if you have been ？
It's important to understand that the legal name change must take place before you update the green card.

Married name in US and maiden name in Japan are both legal name.
It doesn't say it has to match your passport ？.

Maybe immigration has caught your eye.
If changing your married name to your maiden name in Japan doesn't interfere with your life, just change it.

I see, so there is a downside to having a maiden name (or an alias) in the passport. I was thinking of adding my maiden name when I renew my passport next time, but I will not do it.

I hope it's a last name issue, but
I know a guy who was sent to the other room with a top gangster because he has the same name （ alphabet ） and date of birth
and they always take him to the other room and ask to see his back I guess that's confirmation of something.

If you have a problem the next time you go and come back
ask the immigration officer what caused it and be prepared.
