We talk about it a lot in this group, and since we have over 10,000 members, I think you can get some pretty specific advice.
Facebook has recently added an anonymous posting feature, so you can protect your privacy.

More than 10,000 Japanese living in the US are registered.

I also did the translation of my family register myself. I took my family register, ID and the translated one to Ups and had it notarized. ＄ I think it cost me $30. I also found a hospital and went there by myself. I got my green card in 2020, so I think you can do it by yourself. Good luck ！

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

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 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.

Yes, you cannot automatically relinquish your permanent residence when your GC expires.

To abandon, you must file Form I-407 with USCIS and have a final tax return as a U.S. resident.

Even if you have permanent resident status, you cannot enter the U.S. if your GC has expired or if you stay outside the U.S. longer than the term of your permit.

A long time ago, after taking up permanent residence, a person who had lived in Japan for 25 years tried to go to the US under ESTA and was not allowed on the plane. When he contacted the US Embassy, he was told to go through the GC waiver process, which he did.　The embassy （ or consulate, ） seems to be quite helpful about GC expiration etc.

You keep writing and not answering my question
I'm not talking about abandonment, I'm talking about whether you can legally live in the US after your visa expires

Also, there are many people who have their GC taken away at immigration when they enter the US and then deported. ？
You are also saying something funny.

I am a US resident.
I hope this has already been resolved ？

Puerto Rico is also treated as being in the US.

Puerto Rico is a domestic flight from any US airport, including Los Angeles, so
when you arrive in Puerto Rico or
when you return to another state,
you will not go through the immigration gate, so

no worries if you have ESTA or visa

If you have ESTA or visa, you will not have to worry. Same as Hawaii and Alaska.

I did a round trip
New York JFK ⇆ Puerto Rico with a friend who came from Japan to visit New York
We both treated as domestic travel. No problem at all.


*The same goes for the US portion of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.



*However, you should check whether or not you need a corona test for corona disaster
even within the US, as each municipality is different.
Not sure now, but from late last year to January
flights to Puerto Rico required proof of a negative corona test within 72 hours.
(This is because the government of Puerto Rico is requiring that. )

Whether testing is also required when returning to Los Angeles
depends on whether the state of Los Angeles requires it.

I don't know if it is true or not, but some Americans told me that there are interviewers who sleep with people who want to get visas （ and give them visas ） by doing sexual things with them, or by taking bribes. One of the people who said this was a wealthy old man who has met with highly educated presidents.

I didn't know that was possible.

The spoonful of the visa is different from person to person, even at the immigration of the airport, and also at the interview place in downtown.

But, as far as student visa is concerned, I heard a person who got a visa a few years after the terrorist attack said that in Tokyo they only get the i-20 visa, but in Osaka they get it for 5 years.

My friend was forced to have sex when she was 16 if she wanted credit at a local high school. When he grew up, he found out that many people had been victimized and filed a class action lawsuit against the school and the faculty. Cuomo also used his position to sexually harass her. Those in power do whatever they want. They are ready to cheat. Everyone is under siege and at their mercy.
