How many elderly people of Japanese descent are living in LA? We would be happy to be a place of rest and relaxation for the elderly who use the Koryu Hiroba. We think the eligibility is from 65 years old and up.

Marriage after overstay, green card

Problem / Need advice

Hello. I entered the country previously on a tourist visa to meet my American boyfriend (now husband). My boyfriend became sick with an internal disease and while I was taking care of him, his visa expired and he overstayed. We later married in the U.S. and my husband is now healthy and he has a stable income. I have never worked in the US. I am applying for a green card, but I am paroling ？ because of my overstay and I think I will have to go back to the US Embassy in Japan for an interview.
I am quite anxious because Trump will be president for a period of time. I am worried that I will not be able to re-enter Japan ？ if I go back to Japan because of the alternative situation due to Trump being tough on immigrants.
I would appreciate your advice or anyone with similar experiences. Sorry for the rambling.

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example ：
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

Mr. Mucho,

I just looked at the following site

https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/faq

The TSA PreCheck ® application program I see that membership is only open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents.

I applied a long time ago, but the application guide only said "Bring your US Passport" and did not mention anything about LPR, so I thought it was only for US Citizen.

Ggrks,

＞ ＞ Also, I don't think there is a Global Entry benefit for LAX entry, only for immigration, since citizens and permanent residents are processed at the kiosk terminal with one entrance.

If you read and understand the above carefully, he is talking about "extremely fast" since "citizens and permanent residents are processed at the kiosk terminal with one entrance". But TSA Pre and Global Entry should not be involved in this process.


＞ By the way, customs also has a dedicated lane

Did the baggage screening counter also have a dedicated TSA Pre/Global Entry lane? I was waiting in line for several tens of minutes without seeing any signage for a dedicated lane. What was the sign and which side of the customs checkpoint were you facing?

Your choice of words is so off that I didn't understand what you meant no matter how many times I read it.
What is a kiosk terminal? ？ If it is the same flight, the arrival terminal should be the same.

My experience was also from the busy 2019s, but my colleague, an American, took a long time to leave the terminal after getting off the plane and was talking about how he wanted his company to take Global Entry, so I thought citizens had to stop by immigration after the kiosk as well. I thought citizens had to stop by immigration after the kiosk.

＞ But TSA Pre and Global Entry should not be involved in this process.

TSA pre check would not be involved in the first place. It's meant to facilitate security checks at departure. If you are right, the only advantage of Global Entry is that there is a dedicated lane for going through security checkpoints and customs.

＞ Was there a dedicated TSA Pre/Global Entry lane at the baggage screening counter?

No, I wrote that there was a dedicated lane for Global Entry. I thought TSA Pre check didn't have that privilege for entry in the first place, no? ？
What kind of signage says Global Entry and you can see it no matter how you look at it.

＞ Which side of the customs checkpoint were you on?
I thought it depended on the arrival terminal, but it is usually prominently located in the center.

My passport and green card have different last names.

Nice to meet you ！

I am married to an American and hold a GC. When we got married, I took my husband's surname in the Japanese family register. In the U.S., I kept my maiden name and switched my GC to 10 years, which I recently received after 3 years.
I recently renewed my passport with my new surname and my maiden name in brackets, but I am panicking ？ that it is a problem that my passport and GC have different surnames.
Would this be a problem ？
I thought I would keep my maiden name in the US, but should I not do that ？ ？?

Pensions in the U.S. after renunciation of permanent residence

Question
#1
  • 年金
  • mail
  • 2024/11/28 00:48

I am currently a permanent resident of OC. I am considering returning to Japan permanently in the near future and am considering giving up my permanent residence status.

I went to the Social Security Office today to learn about my future pension plan in the U.S. I told them that I intend to return to Japan permanently in the future, and they told me that if I plan to leave the U.S., I must become an American citizen or a permanent resident in order to receive my pension. I was reminded to be very careful because I would not be able to receive the pension unless I became an American citizen or a permanent resident if I planned to leave the U.S. I thought that I would be able to receive the pension from the U.S. after returning to Japan, even though there were tax issues, so I asked the supervisor to check again, but the answer was the same. I have been divorced from my ex-husband of many years and was shocked to learn that my own ji pension and the ex-husband based pension that I was told I could choose when I reached full retirement would all be invalid and I would not be able to receive them.

I know I shouldn't doubt this because I was told by the Social Security Office, but I have lived in the US for a long time and have almost no pension in Japan, so if this is true, I have a lot of things to reconsider. If this is true, I have to reconsider a lot of things.

I would appreciate it if you could share this information with me.

I am looking for a property in Irvine.

I will be stationed in Irvine starting in January.
I live with my 4 children, ages 4 and 2.
We are currently living in Chicago and had no choice of a house but a townhouse because Chicago is very hard to shovel snow.
Do most expatriates living in Irvine live in townhouses, apartments, or single-family homes? ？
I know there are advantages and disadvantages to each, but I can't imagine what it would be like in a different climate than Chicago.
Also, any recommendations on areas?
I am looking for rent within $5500.
Thanks in advance.
