Has anyone been Reinstated after Green card abandonment?

I am a Japanese citizen in my 50s and have been living in the U.S. with a green card. I would like to return to Japan to take care of my parents, and after their death, I would like to live in the U.S. again with a green card. My parents have no chronic diseases and are in good health. In other words, there is no expiration date on their residence in Japan. I understand that I can only provisionally waive for about 2 years to temporarily return to Japan with a green card. If anyone has ever re-instated after living in Japan with a waiver, I would appreciate your advice.

If you are returning to Japan to care for your parents without setting a time limit and then returning to the U.S. again, I think it would be best to first obtain U.S. citizenship and then stay in Japan with a permanent residence permit, as recommended by Showa Ototsuan. Once you let your green card lapse, it may be difficult to get it again. ( I don't have any experience with this, so I don't know for sure. )
I am a citizenship holder ( I became a citizen about 15 years ago ) but I returned to Japan about 10 years ago for the purpose of returning permanently. At that time, I first entered Japan with a short-term ( 3-year ) visa and applied for a permanent residence permit after entering the country, which was granted in about a year. I remember that I did all the procedures by myself and it was not so difficult. However, after 4 years, I decided that I could not live in Japan and came back to the US. ( I now live in Hawaii )
From my experience, I believe that Japanese immigration control is kinder to "ex-Japanese" and not as strict as the US green card system. I think it is advantageous for U.S. citizens to travel between Japan and the U.S. in situations where the length of stay is not very predictable. However, it depends on when you return to Japan, and whether you will be able to obtain citizenship by then. In my case, I remember it was about a year after I applied. ( It was quite a while ago, so I am not too sure. )

You should consider which is cheaper.

> Park and go near the consulate versus the amount you pay at the notary public. You should consider which is cheaper.

Showa Otouta-san has a Japanese passport, so he can prove his survival at the consulate.
Baikinman can't prove his existence at the consulate because he has already returned his Japanese passport.

Use your head and understand the difference.

If you also return your Japanese passport and clear your mind, you don't need a notary or consulate like Mr. Baijinman, you can prove your survival just by showing your electric bill.

You should consider which is cheaper.

Nice to meet you. I have started a terrarium. ? It looks easy, but I don't really know how to do it. Also, do you have any recommendations on where I can buy plants and other items in LA? ? When I watch YouTube, I see that Japanese stores have a good selection. I wonder if there are specialty stores here ?.

I had no idea what a terrarium was, so I googled it and found that it is a thing that creates a super miniature natural world inside that glass aquarium.

I don't know where you can buy them because I'm not interested in them at all, but those glass aquariums are in pet stores that sell killifish and tropical fish. There is a large pet store near my house called Petco that sells tanks of various sizes and shapes. Is that soil special? I would use soil from my own garden, but looking online, it seems that this is not just any soil.

I carelessly made a left turn in a NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION and was given a TICKET. I do not clearly understand the meaning of "NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION" in the contents of the ticket.

It doesn't have to be difficult: NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is just an ordinary traffic violation. Speeding, jaywalking, passing under a certain traffic light, stopping at a certain point, and so on.
On the other hand, a CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is a ticket for a light violation, a cracked windshield, or any other vehicle defect that cannot be prevented, but you can fix the defect and go to the CHP to prove that it was fixed. No violation points will be given. However, there is a $25 fee.

Thank you for your reply.
I am a resident of the WLA area. Since my children have long since grown up, I have no one to play the piano
and I have lost touch with both my piano teacher and the tuner who referred me to you.
Even if I wanted to give up the piano, it has not been tuned for a long time, and
the piano itself has become a burden.
Even if I let it go, I wonder if it would be better to have it tuned.

I just visited a Ramen restaurant on PCH. Smart Final in Redondo Beach.
I love this place because the ramen is very good and the people working there are very nice.
I don't have a problem with the restaurant, I have a problem with the bad manners of the customers. It was a female customer in her 50s. She was there with what I assume was her husband.
The woman said in a loud voice for everyone to hear,
"Waitress girl, you ? go out of your way to speak English and brag that you can speak English ? a little better pronunciation and brag 。。。。" Here in America, I was just responding to another customer in English. It is normal to respond in English to customers who speak to you in English.
Why are you saying such mean things ?
Are you venting by saying it ?
And your husband is the one who can't stop it and is listening.

I felt sorry for the child who worked so hard.

I don't know why there are so many Japanese ladies who say things like that.
I wonder why ?.
