I am a student visa status holder who recently married an American. My partner says that we can apply for permanent residence by ourselves without using a professional firm or a lawyer. I know that the company is not a lawyer, but they can take care of the procedure for you, and I think they know how to do it cheaper than a lawyer, so even if it costs a little more money, I think it's better than doing it yourself.

I also did the translation of my family register myself. I took my family register, ID and the translated one to Ups and had it notarized. $ I think it cost me $30. I also found a hospital and went there by myself. I got my green card in 2020, so I think you can do it by yourself. Good luck !

Seeking information !
I recently heard a rumor about a vehicle sale.
They are
people posing as individuals and wanting to buy cars from far away.
They seem to be posing as a couple, but they have expertise in cars, and they are knocking down the price for various reasons, asking if the car's 00 has been replaced recently ? and
so on.
Everyone, let's exchange information and be careful.

After obtaining my US citizenship, I kept a Japanese bank account using my parents' address in Japan.
My parents passed away a few years ago, and they kept the house, but now the house is going to be sold.
So my parents' address is no longer available.
There is no option to use the address of relatives or friends.
Please let us know your experience if you are able to keep it otherwise.
The bank is one of the city banks.

There seems to be some uncertain information written down, but for your reference, I will paste the recent publicity pages of the FSA and the Japanese Bankers Association as follows.

In my case, my bank is Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, and almost every year since November 2020, I have been asked to fill out ・ and return a "Confirmation of Purpose of Transaction" form. In my previous comment, I once wrote that I have never been asked my nationality by the bank, but that is incorrect, and you need to fill in your nationality on this confirmation form. If your nationality is not Japanese, you are required to submit a copy of your resident card to confirm your status of residence. In my case, I have already returned my residence card, so I did not submit a copy. In addition, I have never been asked for my number card information and have never submitted any information.
I have honestly reported ( the current status of my remittance transaction information to the U.S. I have regularly remitted Japanese pension funds to the U.S. ) and have never been unable to remit funds because of this. In my case, I have been using the same account at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank since ( 40 years ago ) before I came to the U.S. and up to the present, so my transaction record may have been evaluated.

Then when I go to Singapore from there, I leave Japan with my Japanese passport,
and show my Japanese passport when I enter Singapore as well, is that correct?
Does it mean that I only use my American passport when entering the U.S.?
