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.

hello- Thank you very much for the information.
I understand that you have to apply online, get your application approved, and then have an interview at the airport when you enter the country. ?

They really take your money quickly.

I think it took at least 6 months to get preapproved after applying online. I remember how tiring it was to write all my work history, address, etc. as if I were a permanent resident when applying online. It's not easy to get. Because I thought they were checking my criminal background and probably everything. You can do the interview at a lot of different places, but I chose the L.A. airport.

I only use it twice a year and it's economy class, so I can get through immigration early without having to wait in line automatically, but I end up waiting with my suitcase, so I don't see much point. Personally, if I were someone who only had carry-on only luggage, it might be useful.

I think there was a TSA or something different to get through airport security quickly, but that was only for domestic... I know there are a lot of different passes on the site. But discovering the differences is difficult. I know it's hard to wait in the departure crowd ~. Will the price go up again ? I haven't received any updates at all.

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 ??

Then, if an ordinary Japanese passport expires, he loses Japanese nationality ?
Passport expiration, possession and nationality have nothing to do with it.
There are many Japanese who will never have a passport for the rest of their lives.

I renewed my GC online on March 3, a week later I received the paper for the 2 year extension approval, and then on March 22 I received my new GC.

No fingerprints, no signatures, no re-taking of photos.

If I could get it so quickly, I would have been happy to go through the renewal process a little later since it was valid until August.

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.?

As in Japan, if your parents are not paying taxes in the U.S. as a resident, you could not attend a public high school exchange student for more than one year, could you?
I think you would get more up-to-date information if you look for study abroad groups on the Internet or Facebook and exchange information with students.

By the way, the Los Angeles Unified School District has a FAQ on their website, so please use a translation tool to read it.

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?

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.

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.

Hello.
If you know anything about this, please let me know. I have decided to marry my US citizen boyfriend and apply for a green card. I am embarrassed to say that neither of us is financially able to afford it, and we plan to have a joint sponsor. Because of these concerns, we would like to apply for a green card with the help of a lawyer. Please let me know if you know of any good lawyers or lawyers with good reviews that you all have asked for.
I am thinking of budgeting 1000-3000 for attorney fees only $. Thank you in advance.

You may have a similar experience. From a man's point of view, it is like an old Chinese farming village story that if you get a wife from Asia, her adult children will come along and live with you. Therefore, if you are going to ask questions in a group, it would be better to have a Chinese or Filipino group with many years of expertise.

I wonder if the Esta is no longer available now that my student visa was denied ?
I would like to come to the US to visit my mother for a week or so, but will I still need a B2 visa ?

As #16 wrote,
Now that your student visa has been denied, you will most likely be denied entry even if you have ESTA.
Because ESTA is not a visa.
By the way, since your student visa has been denied, even if you apply for a B2 visa,
it will be denied unless you have a good reason. You will have to meet your mother in Japan or in another country such as Canada or Mexico. You would have to change your study abroad to some other country.

The esta is still valid, so there is a possibility that you can enter the country and stay for a week.
However, you can't go to a community college on an I-20 with the esta still in effect, so you will need to apply for an f-1 again.
As others have said, it is very likely that you will be rejected for the same reason, so it may be better to study in another country.
If you really have to try, even if it is just for appearances, I think your chances will improve somewhat if you emphasize that you have a job lined up after you graduate from the college and return to Japan, and submit a letter from that employer as well.
If you can get an f-1 visa, you can switch to a work visa or apply for permanent residence without returning to your home country after graduation from college. You may want to consult with an agent or something. I still wonder why the embassy knew that your mother was applying for permanent residence.

I was lucky enough to win the green card lottery on my second application last year, but I am still waiting for the interview notice after completing the biometrics ( fingerprinting ) on April 4 this year. I asked a friend of mine who won the lottery and he told me that he received the interview notice and the biometrics notice at about the same time, but I have not received the interview notice after almost a month … (;_;)
If anyone who has won the lottery can tell me when they received the interview notice, I would appreciate it! ! Also, if the interview schedule has been set, is it possible to confirm it online or something …?

I remember that there was quite a gap between biometrics and the interview.

In my case, my lawyer explained to me that I lost several weeks because the documents that were supposed to be delivered to the Los Angeles Legal Department were not easily passed on to the person in charge in the office. I think it is true because my lawyer accompanied me to the interview and complained to the legal department why the process was so slow. I know you are anxious because there are many circumstances, but I think you have to wait and see.
Congratulations for now !.
