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 ？ ？?

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 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.

The other day in Los Angeles, I was driving on a one-way street with three lanes in each direction, and a police car came up behind me with its lights flashing, but I couldn't change course to the right immediately because there was a car alongside me on the right, and then the police car approached right behind me, so I thought I was being stopped, so I pulled over to the left corner and I pulled over to the left corner and stopped. In fact, the police car seemed to be heading toward some crime scene, and as a result, I ended up blocking the path of the police car. As the police car passed by, a police officer shouted something to me, but I didn't hear it because my window was closed and it was only for a moment. The police car then drove away. I was not given a ticket or asked to show my driver's license at the scene, but I wonder if the police or the court will send me a summons to appear in court later in this case. I would appreciate it if someone who is familiar with the procedures for traffic violations could let me know.

For status adjustment, I am going to take a medical checkup for a green card in the US. It seems that I need an English translation of my immunization record, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to get a blood test for antibody check without the record instead ？ I heard that insurance does not cover this medical checkup, in that case, how much was the cost ？?

I used to be able to leave it on the sidewalk and they would
pick up large furniture and electrical items with me, but,
I hear now I have to take it to a specific place.

I bought a new refrigerator, and I'm
scratching my head about transporting it and discarding the old one.

Anyone have any good ideas?

Shohei, congrats on #46
I left the Angels and can't go to the games
I gave up on the Dodgers because the tickets would be too expensive

Yesterday's game was pretty empty in the outfield and the infield
Why is it a Sunday game?

Ticket price is too expensive ？
It's too hot ？

I gave up watching the game because parking is too much trouble, but
I'm willing to go if I can buy tickets at reasonable price.

How did you get tickets and what is your plan to go
？

Any advice or parking tips ？
