I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ？
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay
even after obtaining US citizenship?

I'd like to know how to get a US passport without citizenship. Please tell me.

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

You can't get an American passport without citizenship.
It's a different dimension from the passport you originally had and maintained with Japanese citizenship. You can't be trusted because you keep saying random things.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.

It doesn't have to be difficult: NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is just an ordinary traffic violation. Speeding, jaywalking, passing under a certain traffic light, stopping at a certain point, and so on.
On the other hand, a CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is a ticket for a light violation, a cracked windshield, or any other vehicle defect that cannot be prevented, but you can fix the defect and go to the CHP to prove that it was fixed. No violation points will be given. However, there is a $25 fee.

I leave 50,000 yen allowance for each of my parents for a 2-3 week stay and 50,000 yen for living expenses as a thank you. If we go shopping together, I pay for everything.

I don't usually do anything in particular, and the only time I have the opportunity to do so is when I go back home.

The children are a 7 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. They speak English, but would like Japanese language care, and this is a one-time request.
Thank you very much.

From Green Card Application to Obtaining a Green Card

Problem / Need advice

I just recently applied for a green card by marriage through an attorney.
For those who have applied for a green card by marriage in recent years, how long did it take to get the work permit, travel permit, etc. ？
I am currently on OPT, but am concerned because it expires on 2/29.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, you are correct. Of course I have already informed my attorney of the approximate expected time frame, but I wanted to post this to ask about the experiences of those who have actually recently applied for a green card themselves. Sorry for the lack of words.

I joined the family in the summer of 2022, received my marriage certificate and immediately started the application process.
Eleven months later, my green card and work permit arrived at my house at the same time.
We were also supposed to receive our travel permits after fingerprinting, but we still have not received them.
We were also asked for additional documents due to incomplete paperwork （ That was a mistake on their part and there was no incomplete paperwork, but our lawyer provided us with documents to that effect ） so the process stopped there for about 2 months.
If nothing like that happened, we could get it within 6 months to a year ？.

We were US citizens ourselves and the wife's was F1.
We joined last March and applied straight away and finally received our EAD card and AP in November.

By the way, I got the interview notice right after that. I finished the interview last week and now I am waiting for the result.
Later we didn't go through a lawyer, so I hope it comes soon for Topi's side.

If they won't raise your salary anyway, just use the company. If they won't let you quit, that means you need them ！
Make money by pretending you're working by the hour.
What belongs to the company is mine.
If the pay is too small, make your money somewhere else.
Keep a good face to your superiors and you won't get fired.

I think the reason strange people come to you is because you can't say no
I used to get tired of putting on a good face to people I didn't like, but
If I don't like this person when I first meet them, I usually end up not liking them afterwards
I try to focus on people I feel good with. I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't leave early, it's a hassle to get involved with my friends and acquaintances

If I buy stocks, it's at my own risk.

Yes, that's right. It would be better if they did not start dating in the first place. It is true that such people do come close.

I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't get away from them early, it will be troublesome after they get involved with my acquaintances and friends
You're right. You can bring a friend without a car from the beginning and they say it's close,

stock self-responsibility. But I trust people right away. Whether it's an acquaintance or a brokerage firm.
You're not sure of yourself, but I'll be careful.
I will cut ties with people like #111 as fast as I can. I will not even enter into a light relationship here.

People leave not only because they believe in you or not
there are many reasons

I have been finding it troublesome to hang out with people lately
it's not that I have any bad reasons
I honestly feel that I have no reason to hang out with them
I have left people I have been hanging out with due to inertia
I only spend time with people I enjoy

I don't enjoy casual conversations with people I enjoy
I think it's time to reset

I think it's time to reset.

I was able to spend my holidays slowly
I started to think about starting something new
I started to learn a lot
I got to know people who share the same values

I only share things I can share

At my age, no one fits everything
We only share the parts that fit each other

I feel very comfortable

So I have only a few friends that I can call friends
but I like them this much I've come to realize that I like it this way.

My parents are pilots and say they make 10 million yen a year, but they are always saying they have no money, no money.
I live in an apartment for about 300,000 yen a month, and honestly I think it would be cheaper to move home, which is very silly. I've lived here for about 10 years now, and if it's 300,000 yen a month, I thought, why not buy a house from the beginning?
The main question is whether 10 million yen a year is too much or not. Please.

This couple seems to be adjusting their income by saving the husband from his part-time pizza delivery job once the wife starts working full time.
I'm sure there are people out there who make a good living while on welfare. But this guy has been exposing all of that on video until now. No, it would be fine if they were earning their own money and living that way without relying on assistance. It's like he said he was going to live in a low income apartment for the rest of his life when he didn't. And then he makes the statement that he doesn't want to breathe the same air ！ as the people at Walmart.

If you give free medical care to such people, there will be more such people in Japan. There are already many foreigners of that kind. China, Korea, Philippines and others. In Japan, once you get that qualification, there seems to be no check in the middle of the process.
So many of them come to Japan only when they need to rewrite or something, and then live in their home country
and receive only benefits from Japan. Since they have no income in Japan
they are tax-exempt households. Of course, they automatically receive corona and other benefits.

The law is also unmanageable because it was made when the number of gaijin in Japan was still small.
It is sometimes discussed in the Diet, but the Japanese do not like to change laws and precedents, so
it has been a cheat. It would be better if the laws were amended or changed
in line with the current situation, as in the U.S.

There is a theory that the Japanese are trying to keep the welfare and medical budgets in the red in order to use it as an excuse to raise taxes.

It sucks. Mean, self-protective, self-centered boss, expatriate from Japan is exactly like that. I still remember it.
Well, relatively speaking, Japanese expats are mean to local hires. When I bought something and couldn't fit it in and asked them to put it in like this. They scratched my car. I carefully carried my house so that it would not get scratched.
