What vaccinations are required for my child's enrollment?
Chickenpox ・ ・ ・ I was vaccinated once as a child and then contracted the disease. "I saw a notation that ""Had Disease" is not acceptable", but what exactly should I do? ?
Tuberculin ・ ・ ・ Should I have it tested and certified in Japan before traveling? ?

I guess you have not yet traveled ?

The fastest way is to show the following documents to your family doctor in Japan and ask him or her to type the missing information and provide you with a certificate.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18_Duf7cmaYp5tcZxPJoY7ig45Hnxw2sv/view ( This is from Irvine, but the required requirements are consistent with California public schools )
.
It is best to have the certificate issued in English, if possible.
You can google "Immunization records example" or similar to find a template for the form.

In the worst case scenario, it is possible to get a blood test → at a local hospital after arriving in the U.S. to prove the vaccine, but it is better to do everything you can in Japan and use it as a last resort if it does not work.

This is an experience from another state almost 15 years ago, but ours was fine with it because the mother-child handbook has an English translation of the vaccinations.

When we were going to enroll in elementary school, they used our MCH handbook as an official record. The school nurse rewrote the form in this booklet to make it easier for me, and I got her signature, so I have been using it since then. I have been using the color copy since then because it would be troublesome if I lose the original.
The date on the doctor's stamp was Heisei, so I remember the nurse asked me when it was in the western calendar.  I had done everything in Japan, but I was missing some kinds to enter a school here, so I had a summary typing done for free at a place run by the Health Department and got the record. I think the school can tell you where to go.

If the tuberculin test is positive, you will have to have a blood test or lung x-ray to prove that you don't "currently" have TB, so even if you get the proof in advance, it may not be very useful after all.
I don't think a tuberculin certificate is necessary for elementary school entry. We didn't need it either until my daughter worked in a hospital.

My daughter and I both work in the medical field, and a lot of people who had BCG in their home countries work in the US, so we are all used to it. Sometimes they skip that test and do a blood test or an x-ray because they are sure it will be positive.

If I did tuberculin, it would be positive, so I would have to get an x-ray every time and it would cost a lot of money.

It is tax return season. I would like to ask for your wisdom as to what kind of tax saving measures you are taking.
Almost all of my income is from my corporate job.

I have a 401k that is maxed out.
IRAs could not be deposited due to income limits.
My children's college tuition was also not deductible due to income limits.

Even if I don't make it to this year's tax return, I'd be very grateful for the help for next year.
- do freelance work and deduct expenses
- create an LLC and use income from salaried work to fund the business

Permanent residency after returning home

Question

Please let me know if you know of any.

I am currently considering returning to Japan. I know that I can return to Japan and still receive Social Security in Japan after retiring from the US, but what will happen to my permanent residency?

1 . Can I still receive Social Security in Japan even if I give up my permanent residence?
2 . If I want to keep my Permanent Resident status, do I have to return ? to the US once a year?
3 . If I stay in Japan without doing anything, will I automatically lose my permanent resident status?
4 . I have heard that the permanent resident status remains the same unless I voluntarily renounce it, but
if I eventually come back here with the permanent resident status after 5 or 10 years ( if I am still alive and well ) can I come back
with that permanent resident status? Can I come back with that permanent residency 。。。。

I am considering returning to Japan to care for my parents, but after they pass away, if I am still healthy, I would like to come back to the US. I would like to receive the pension in Japan, but I am wondering what will happen to my permanent residence after that... I have so many questions. If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Let me answer your question about Tutsan.
I also called the consulate and was told to remove my family registration before applying for a visa.
Then I thought about it and realized that removing one's family register is the same as renouncing one's nationality.
In other words, people born and raised in Japan don't have a piece of paper to prove their Japanese nationality.
The only proof that you are Japanese is your family register.
The family register department at the government office has no way of knowing that I became an American citizen unless I notify them, and I haven't removed my family register, so it must still be there.
I think that if I have a family register, it means I have a nationality.
Of course I know that Japan does not recognize dual citizenship.

So, back to the question, did you remove your family register to get the visa?
I guess it is correct to say that I did not.
I did not remove my family register because I was still attached to Japan, and I felt that my identity was there.
Also, there was a possibility in my mind that I might return to Japan in the future.
I have heard that the procedure of living in Japan will go more smoothly if I have my family register in order. Anyway, I'll leave my family register as it is for now and hope that Japan will soon accept American travelers without visa like before.

If a Japanese person changes his/her nationality to American and has to obtain a visa
to go to Japan,
the person who changed his/her nationality should think about what to do and come to a conclusion.

Some people cancel their trip, others have to go because of family reasons,
there are various reasons, so they should think about it and come to a conclusion.

But I don't see any posts from people who have cancelled their nationality and got a Japanese visa.

I got ripped off at a driving school a long time ago. The first time, he explained the angle to hold the steering wheel and traffic rules without driving 、 The second time, he drove around my house 、 The third time, he drove on the freeway 、 Soon after, he stepped on the gas pedal and brake under his own car without asking me to drive. The fourth time, he told me that I should make an appointment for the test next week, but I was still not a good driver, so he said he would cancel the test and I would have to practice again, and then he started taking more and more money from me. I should have asked my friend from the beginning. 

You don't have to go to a driving school, there are professionals who do it privately, so I think you should ask them. 。 It was in a thick free magazine like the yellow pages that used to be around, but they don't have books like that anymore.... LOL!

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.
