I hear that you should have 10 times your annual income saved before you retire.
Did you all save that much before you retired ??

With an annual income of $ 200000, that's 2 mil.

I'm also worried about medical expenses in my old age, so I might as well make Japan, with its low cost of living, an option.

> Social Security has a limit on how much you can get no matter how high you pay ?

That ! ? "no matter how high you pay" is impossible.
Social Security, I believe, only covers up to about $80,000 of your entire annual income. So, no matter how high your income is, there is a limit to how much you can spend. Naturally, there is also a limit to the amount of money you can receive. The maximum amount you can get is about $ 4,000 per month. ( The numbers are random, as they are more than 10 years old. )

It is great that you are in your 30s and worrying about it now.

In my case, it was a low-flying self-employed life, but real estate rose steadily in value, which helped me to build assets.

I see, that makes sense. If there is a limit to both the amount you can yield and the amount you can receive, it wouldn't be unfair. I was taking it easy until recently, I was a little impatient with the coaching. I think I will save enough to not be a burden for now. Thank you.

2500 $ You can rent a one-bed apartment for a few hundred dollars depending on your income. You must be elderly and low income, though. If you are over 80 years old, you have a big advantage, so you should apply for it now.

But if you get to that point, you may choose to go back to Japan, but the climate here is hard to beat.

Obstetrics and gynecology with Japanese language support

Please let me know if you know of an OB/GYN with Japanese speaking staff in the Irvine, Anaheim, Walnut, Covina, Diamond Bar, or Chino area !

I just recently found out I am pregnant.
I go to Torrance for my internist, but it takes over an hour from my house on the highway, which is too far for me to go for a prenatal checkup, so I am looking for a closer location.

Kashiwabara OB/GYN is temporarily closed, and Suzuki OB/GYN has a referral page on the web but is not listed on Google maps.

Thank you very much!

However, I would like to refuse because she is a girl of her age and I will be gone for the weekend and she will be left alone, but is it 'legal' for a mother to leave her daughter under 16 years old alone for a month in an apartment where another man lives? ?

Global Entry Entry

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.

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 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. )

The following site will do the application on your behalf.

Find out what you need to do to apply yourself. First, check the requirements at the following site, and then look for blogs and other information from people who have actually applied on their own.
https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/procedures/zairyu_eijyu01.html
The important thing is to explain that you have enough income after returning to your country and that you have a guarantor such as a relative in Japan.
Good Luck!

Social Security name change, etc.

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • Ai
  • mail
  • 2024/03/01 09:43

I have a question for those who have had a name change, such as registering in the US, or have had similar experiences with SSN, DMV.

I was in the US on OPT which expires 2/29/2024 and I married a US citizen in the US in November 2023. I am currently in the pending period of obtaining a green card.

Since I am on OPT, my driver's license will also expire on 2/29 tied to that, so I went to the DMV with the I-797c I received in the green card application process and the EAD for my life until 2/29, hoping to get my license before it expires.
They accepted those two as documents for renewal of my license, but to my foolishness, I had forgotten to change my SSN name and was told that I could not renew because my name in the system was still my maiden name.
(I-797c was issued with my new last name. )

I panicked and went to the Social Security office to try to change my name, but was told, "Your current EAD until 2/29 has too little validity left to change your name." They also did not accept my I-797c and Marriage Certificate.

I tried to apply for AB60 because I need a car to live without, but one DMV said, "No, because it's a pending green card period and you don't qualify as someone who can apply in the first place." Another DMV said "I-797c can't do it, you need to bring your I-797" etc. I am confused.

Long story short, my question is
・ Is there any way to get a license under these circumstances?
・ Once the I-797 arrives, can I use it to rename my SSN ? Has anyone had such an experience ? Will I have to wait endlessly for the new EAD to arrive … tears

Rough question Sorry for the sketchy question, but if anyone can lend me some wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Are you waiting for a Work Permit ? I hear a lot of people say they got it right after applying for a GC.
With this, you would get a new expiration date for your SS. 

I think you can change the name on the license at a later date. Licenses < generally can be renewed > within 60 days of expiration, but there may be exceptions.

I think you can change the name on your license or SS by submitting a change of name form later. You could try Online if it's a bad idea.

Divorce in Los Angeles

Question

I am a Japanese woman living in Los Angeles with my American husband and we are considering a divorce.
We were registered in Japan and did not file for marriage in the U.S.
I checked with the ward office and the Japanese consulate in LA. I checked with the ward office and the Japanese consulate in LA and they said that if you do not have a certificate of residence in Japan, you cannot get a divorce in Japan, even if your country of marriage is Japan.
So, first divorce procedures are done in the U.S., then once the divorce is finalized, the documents are sent to the Japanese Consulate, and the Consulate forwards them to the Japanese ward office, and the divorce is finalized in Japan.
★ All the conditions for a simple divorce are met except that the other party does not want to sign the divorce papers.
In that case, which form needs to be filled out / and submitted?
Please let me know if anyone knows. Thank you in advance.

If you have a W-2, you can go to IRS.com and choose a free tax return program that suits you.

If you are not sure, you may want to email the IRS and explain your situation and ask what kind of documentation will be required to prove that you were in Japan last year.
Even if you have not been in the U.S. for 6 months, if you have some income in the U.S., you will need to file a Tax Return.

If you do not do a Tax Return this year, you can do a Tax Return going back 2 - 3 years, but if you have a Green Card, you can only leave the US for 2 years ? If you are in the US and not working, you do not need a Green Card. If I stay in the U.S. and don't work, I don't need a Green Card ?.

For a tax return of < first year > with GC income, the tax return treatment is completely different depending on the date of GC acquisition and the date of entry into the US. This makes it very complicated to add Japanese income to your tax return and receive US benefits. I have sent you an email for more details, but I think you should ask a tax accountant who is familiar with Dual-Status.

# Tax Return is required if you have some income in the US even if you are not in the US for 6 months.

Green Card holders are required to file the same tax returns as US citizens no matter where they live in the world.
