If you come here, you will enjoy being immersed in Japan.
Some people think that there is nothing they can do because the purpose of coming is different.

If you decide to live in Japan, renounce your permanent residence
You can renounce it after you return to Japan. If you are in the U.S. and renounce, you become an illegal alien as soon as you renounce.

I have known people who received their GC renewal within 10 days of applying, and others who have been waiting for over a year.　When I filed my application （ 1.5 years ago ）, the USCIS website said that the decision was usually made within 18 months, but now it says that it is issued within 28 ． 5 months.　You cannot inquire about the status until 28 months have passed.　

It seems that the applications are not issued in the order they are received, but there are people who have been waiting for a long time as well ？.

In my case, I applied for renewal in early November 2021 and my new card arrived at the end of November 2023.
I personally contacted USCIS several times, but they were completely dishonest, so I asked them to contact me through a different route and I received my card in 5 days.

Hello, I have applied for a 10 year GC renewal and received it within a month.
I applied for a 10 year GC renewal and received it within a month, but I received the wrong Lastname, so I have not received a GC with the correct name for 7 months after reapplying.

I called USCIS and they told me to send back the wrong GC, so I sent it by mail and what a surprise, the same one came back.

It is really annoying because different reps ask for different things.

Can I return to Japan with expired GC? ？

Is it enough to show the USCIS website as proof ？ If anyone has any experience, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share it here.

Thank you very much.

＃ Are there really people who were able to return to Japan and come back to US with expired GC ？

You never know how it will turn out depending on the mood of Japanese immigration officer and US immigration officer.

Thank you for each information.

Those who went to Japan while their GC was being renewed （ those who are waiting for renewal GC card ） could enter the US because they had a Re-entry permit.

At any rate, even if you have an expired GC, if you are in the process of applying for renewal, you can enter and leave the U.S. by making an appointment at an immigration office and getting an I-551 stamp in your passport.　　When I went to the immigration office last year, once I entered the building, it was very busy and I didn't have to wait long.　The I-551 is a stamp indicating that you are a permanent resident of the U.S. and is valid for one year.

At any rate, the Japanese immigration inspector would have nothing to do with it.

So you could successfully enter Japan, but
you don't know if the inspector leaving to return to the U.S. will say
this permanent resident status has expired.

Examiners do not check permanent residency in the destination country. You are disturbing me by writing all the right things.

I checked the USCIS website again, and as shown in the link below, it says that you can enter the US with an expired GC.


Then I don't have to worry about the expiration date of GC for entry.

In my case, I lost my GC, so I don't have GC regardless of expiration date, so I -555 seems to have been necessary.

You don't show the examiner your Permanent Resident Card when you leave Japan. Not everyone who leaves Japan goes to the US.

If you don't have an entry stamp with which you entered the country
how did you enter the country, you will be considered a suspicious person.

That is not true.
The examiner scans your passport and it shows everything.

＞ If you acquire foreign nationality before your Japanese passport expires
＞ you will have dual nationality until it expires, a simple idea.

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.
