Since my mother has gone to the trouble of marrying an American citizen, is it not possible for her to acquire citizenship?
I think it is possible to bring the children over after citizenship.

I hear that citizenship can be acquired quite quickly by marrying an American citizen.

I wonder how many years it would take.
If it took 10 years, the marriage would be dissolved.

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 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 ！.

If you have a CA license, take two different payment statements for things like electricity or cell phone that come in every month that have your address printed on them at the DMV

You should pay consumption tax and taxes to Japan and contribute to the economy and welfare of Japan before saying you are in favor of dual citizenship.

Yes, I think it would be better not to claim too many rights as a person who does not pay taxes in Japan.　Also, I am afraid that if dual citizenship is allowed, people from other countries might be able to become Japanese.

If you can get benefits just by paying the minimum health insurance fee, which also makes you pay taxes, then it's a win-win situation
And when you shop in Japan, you can show your US passport and get a sales tax exemption
It's great!

If the first person has 4 family members, then the last 3 will be cut off. If the second person is a married couple, then there will be one less person
If you are number 19999 in a quota of 20000, there is no chance even if you are right
It depends on how many people are in this quota
Even if you tell your lawyer, you will not be moved up.
But if you do it by yourself, there is a possibility that you will be put off because of incomplete documents or something, so it might be safer to go through a proper agency
You won't be fine when you get your turn, you have to finish all the interviews and get your passport stamped by the deadline.
There are a lot of people who missed it because they didn't have enough documents or something.

Congratulations on your win!
I am a winner of Dv2022. I was in the 9000s and received my GC 13 months after the announcement of my win.
I also feel like I have been in the 19000 range for the past few years, but I am not sure if I am sure or not, so I am worried. At the time of the election, I had 3 months left on my visa, so I had the company renew it for 5 years. I can't solve this problem by talking to a lawyer about case numbers. I don't think it's necessary if you're not bothered by arrests, etc...I had a hard time with the amount of online entry work for DS260, but it's not too late to SUBMIT during 2022, case number-wise. It is important to save an overwrite and review it many times, once you SUBMIT it will be impossible to correct. \I got an email telling me to "get this document ready" before the interview. If the paperwork is incomplete at the time of the interview, it will delay the process, but as long as you have it ready by the time of the interview, you should be fine. I am looking forward to it. Good luck.

Do you know what will happen to Japan if you allow dual citizenship? Taro Kono and his son are immersed in China and Korea, and there is a problem with the Japanese terminal. However, even if Taro Kono doesn't say such a thing, the ruling party is all pro-China now, so I wonder if they will allow dual citizenship.

As far as I know,

you go to the immigration line and get in the US Citizen and Legal Alien line,

when your number comes up you go to the kiosk terminal and have your Japanese passport and green card image

and your picture taken. and your picture, take the slip with your picture from the terminal

to the inspector and give him the three items, he will say "Wellcome Back to the United States"

return your passport and G-card, and that should be it.


I don't know if anything has changed since Corona.

I married an American man in May 2018, applied for GC in June and got it down in March 2019. In my case, I hired an immigration attorney, who said it was exceptionally fast. I was surprised. The reason why it was so fast is because ① my status was changed from J1 visa. （ People on tourist visas are the slowest. Student visa holders are the next slowest, and E1 J1 holders are often the fastest ）. ② Because my husband had one job and had worked for many consecutive years and was a government employee, it was easy to check his background.
