I hear that you should have 10 times your annual income saved before you retire.
Did you all save that much before you retired ？?

Obstetrics and gynecology with Japanese language support

Please let me know if you know of an OB/GYN with Japanese speaking staff in the Irvine, Anaheim, Walnut, Covina, Diamond Bar, or Chino area ！

I just recently found out I am pregnant.
I go to Torrance for my internist, but it takes over an hour from my house on the highway, which is too far for me to go for a prenatal checkup, so I am looking for a closer location.

Kashiwabara OB/GYN is temporarily closed, and Suzuki OB/GYN has a referral page on the web but is not listed on Google maps.

Thank you very much!

Global Entry Entry

When I entered the U.S. from Europe using Global Entry the other day, after having my picture taken on the monitor, the officer called my name one by one and I was allowed to enter the U.S. immediately. When I asked why I had never been treated differently before, I was told that everyone says so.
I don't see the point of receiving a global entry...
I know there are quite a few people in the U.S. with name discrepancies, but do you all use Global Entry? ？
I'm thinking about lining up with the examiner's example from the beginning.

Social Security name change, etc.

I have a question for those who have had a name change, such as registering in the US, or have had similar experiences with SSN, DMV.

I was in the US on OPT which expires 2/29/2024 and I married a US citizen in the US in November 2023. I am currently in the pending period of obtaining a green card.

Since I am on OPT, my driver's license will also expire on 2/29 tied to that, so I went to the DMV with the I-797c I received in the green card application process and the EAD for my life until 2/29, hoping to get my license before it expires.
They accepted those two as documents for renewal of my license, but to my foolishness, I had forgotten to change my SSN name and was told that I could not renew because my name in the system was still my maiden name.
(I-797c was issued with my new last name. )

I panicked and went to the Social Security office to try to change my name, but was told, "Your current EAD until 2/29 has too little validity left to change your name." They also did not accept my I-797c and Marriage Certificate.

I tried to apply for AB60 because I need a car to live without, but one DMV said, "No, because it's a pending green card period and you don't qualify as someone who can apply in the first place." Another DMV said "I-797c can't do it, you need to bring your I-797" etc. I am confused.

Long story short, my question is
・ Is there any way to get a license under these circumstances?
・ Once the I-797 arrives, can I use it to rename my SSN ？ Has anyone had such an experience ？ Will I have to wait endlessly for the new EAD to arrive … tears

Rough question Sorry for the sketchy question, but if anyone can lend me some wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Permanent residence renewed for 10 years

Hello. I have a question regarding the renewal of my 10 year permanent residency. My wife and I applied last year on January 25, 2021, and our fingerprints were taken on March 20 of that year. And my Green Card was received within 10 days. However, my wife's I-90 is still under examination and she has not received her Green Card. It has been 14 months since I received my Green Card. Is this a common case ？?

If I am in the process of applying for an I-90 extension and never leave the US, such as Japan, can I just do nothing and wait for my Green Card even if it takes years ？ Sorry for the basic question.

My personal opinion is that the fact that Topi's wife has been fingerprinted means that she has completed the document review process. Maybe the proof of fingerprints has not been properly processed in the I-90 Application. Since USCIS has already been contacted, I am sure some action will be taken. I guess we will have to wait and see, but if there has been no response in the two months since the last contact, why not contact them again and say that the ＜ fingerprinted ＞ application has not yet been assembled.　The process times seem to be mixed and hit or miss.

Topic. I applied last year on January 25, 2021, and was fingerprinted on March 20 of that year.I checked the USCIS Home Page and it showed that I entered the Green Card issuance process yesterday, September 29.It took exactly 20 months since I applied for the 10 year extension.　 （ Here is the reference data for those who wrote in this topic. ）

We have approved your Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, Receipt Number IOE92974XXXXX, On September 29, 2022, we ordered your card to be produced. We will mail your card to the address you gave us.

Finally, it shows like this.

I also applied for renewal in January 2021, same as Tobiman, but my 12 month extension expired in July this year and I got an Infopass(1年延長 ）), but yesterday I received a new I-797 from USCIS and it says 24 months extension from the expiration date. I check the USCIS website every week, but still no progress. By the way, I have not been fingerprinted or photographed.

Good morning TJR and Pancho. I feel bad because my wife's permanent residence extension was Approved before yours. But I am hot. I was wondering what I would do if it was rejected.

My wife and I applied for permanent residence on January 25, 2021, fingerprinting was done on March 20, 2021, and only my permanent residence was received at the end of March 2021. However, my Green Card has arrived but I have not opened it yet. I have not told my wife about the Approved 10 year extension of my Permanent Resident status in order to avoid upsetting her.

I am wondering what is the Expiration Date of my wife's Green Card and my Expiration Date which will be received soon, I will report back when the Green Card arrives.

My Permanent Residency was filed from H-1b-1 Visa, category 3. It took 9 years from application to approval for permanent residence. My wife's permanent residence was in addition to my application which was pending.
My first lawyer was a Korean lawyer who used to advertise frequently in Free Paper with the slogan "We are on fire ！", but they may have been trying to hide their mistakes in the application process, and before I knew it, they withdrew my Permanent Residence application without my permission. We had hired a lawyer with a catchphrase of "". I had paid $ 10,000 for the fee, and it ended up in vain.

The next German lawyer I was referred to was very kind and very dedicated to me for a low fee, for which I am very grateful. After all, I had to wait 9 years from my application for permanent residence in 2002 until 2011 when it was granted.

I warned the sales person of Free Paper several times to stop the damage to Japanese people by the Korean lawyer who was frequently advertising, but the ads continued to appear after that. I heard that the lawyer has disappeared, but it is really important to choose the right lawyer at the beginning.

Shipping Liquor to Japan

I would like to send wine, whiskey, and other alcoholic beverages to Japan as a gift
but I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that can ship them. ？
From my research, it seems that there are restrictions on regulations and licenses
and I'm not sure if it is possible to mail them. I am pondering.

Also, I am assuming shipping from home, not from a winery or brewery.

Thank you!

Hello, I am a high school student in the United States. I have heard that it is normal to obtain an F1 visa to study at a public high school in the U.S., but I have heard that the F1 visa only allows you to study for one year. However, I would like to know if it is possible to study in the U.S. with a visa other than an F1 visa, or if there is another way to study in the U.S.? I heard that it is possible to study in a private high school for more than one year, but the tuition fee is...
