What you need to know about green card renewal

Any advice would be appreciated.

★ In order to renew my permanent residence, I need

① current green card
② Japanese passport
③ drivers license
④ finger print
⑤ Address and mobile number

Is this enough? ？
Do I also need to provide proof of taxation, bank statements, proof of payment of electricity bills, etc. ？
I would appreciate advice from someone with experience on what documents I need to prepare.

★ Also, can I leave the country once I receive a letter that my application has been accepted?
Or can I leave the country until the card itself arrives?
I am worried about my elderly mother because I don't know what will happen to her anytime soon.

If anyone knows, I would appreciate your advice.

このトピに対する皆様のコメントを読んでいて、便乗で質問させてください。すみません。

更新は基本、アメリカ国内でとなっていますが、オンラインで申請が出来るということは、日本から申請しても移民局は分からないということでしょうか。そしてもし指紋採取となったときは渡米するしかないと思いますが。。。。
住所もアメリカにあり、子供たちもそこに住んでいます。親の具合が悪く、私だけが現在日本にいます。永住権はまだ切れていません。パスポートのコピーも申請時には提出しなくて良いようなので、これだと日本からオンラインで申請しても、もしかしたらカードが1ヵ月くらいで届くのでしょうか？？？それともそれは無理な考えでしょうか。
出来る限り親のそばにいてあげたく、11月末に永住権が切れるのでどうしようか悩んでおります。

If an American citizen says "Green Card",
they will just ask which credit card.

I guess it would be better to ask at the US embassy in Japan.

You can just inquire and ask.

You should be able to apply from Japan.
After applying, you will receive a form I-797C at home as proof of acceptance, and even if you don't receive your green card at worst, as others have said, you can enter the country with that form.

I hope Biometrics will be exempted. Take care of your parents.

I am a beginner and looking for a cooking class near Torrance. I would like to learn general American food if possible, but if it is difficult, I can start with Japanese food. Do you know of any ？

Some "Showa-otchan" have posted something totally unhelpful to Topi.

TomTom,

I think you asked the wrong question.

If you live in the Gardena/Torrance area, is there a Japanese/Japanese American meeting place around there? Why don't you go there and ask such a question to someone nearby?

Well, this is totally unrelated to this topic, but my wife and I have lived in San Fernando Vally, about an hour drive north of Gardena/Torrance, for over 50 years. There are only two elderly Nikkei couples who speak almost no Japanese.

As for the main topic, "I want to learn about American food," there is a TV channel called KCET where I think I saw a program about menus that are commonly eaten in the US. It was a long time ago. Before that, what is "American food"? Hamburgers, beef steaks, beef stew, pork chops, fried chicken, are the only things that come to mind. There is a Norms Restaurant in Gardena/Torrance, isn't there? When I came here 50 years ago, I was single and used to go to Norms Restaurant often. At that time, I could eat anything I wanted as long as I was hungry. If you are a good cook, you know how to cook just by looking at the menu. I don't drink alcohol and I have a sweet tooth, so I often eat Pan Cake and French Toast. Sorry for getting personal.

I am currently working full time.

I would like to increase my income, but I am busy with my day job, so I don't plan to put that much effort into my side job, but which is wiser, to make up to $ 600 without tax or to increase my income as much as possible in a year even with tax? ？
If you can advise me, please let me know.

【ご報告】　航空券間違えて買ってしまい野球観戦が。。。

上記のタイトルでご相談したものです。
その節はたくさんのアドバイスありがとうございました。
無事、当日ボブルヘッドゲットできました！

結局ロスに住んでいる友人が助けてくれて
空港への迎い、荷物の預かりなとをしてくれた結果
16時にはスタジアムに到着でき、17時にはゲートを通ることができました。

荷物も手荷物のみ、飛行機も前方の席の確保などできることはしましたが
飛行機がオンタイムについたこと、渋滞がなかったという点も大きかったと思います。
宿もスタジアム近くにとりましした。

正直台風の影響があって日本国内での移動の方が大変でした。

みなさんのアドバイスも大変参考になりました。
どうもありがとうございます。

I recently moved to Irvine.

I have had thyroid problems for 10 years since I was in Japan and need to go to the hospital here as well.
If anyone has been to a hospital for the same thyroid related symptoms, I would like to get recommendations for a hospital.

If not, you need to write down the costs incurred so the reader can understand.

I bought a wrong airline ticket, and I couldn't go to the baseball game....

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • スズキ
  • mail
  • 2024/07/30 06:53

Can anyone please give me some wisdom?

Because I bought the wrong airline tickets
I may not be able to make it
to the Dodgers game ＆ to watch the Dodgers game or to the distribution of the Ohtani Bobbleheads.
I hope to arrive at the airport at 2pm and be at the ballpark by 4pm. We will not be renting a car and will be moving by public transportation.
I have suitcases so I cannot go straight to the stadium
Lockers near Union Station are open until 5pm, so
pickup will be the next day.
I haven't gotten a hotel yet, so at worst I'll stay at a hotel near Union Station, but I'm trying to avoid staying near that area due to budget concerns.

We don't need to be there at 4pm since the doors open at 5pm to begin with ？
What is the best way or place to leave suitcases ？
What time can we leave the airport in the first place if we plan to arrive at 2pm ？
I could bring a knapsack at Angel Stadium （ but I need to check it in at the stadium ） but at Dodger Stadium ？
if it's possible, can I bring a change of clothes and leave my suitcase in the locker and pick it up the next day ？ or is that too much to ask?

Any advice or ideas?

I used to live in LA until a few years ago, but I am now back in Japan.

I don't have an address in the US at this time, but I need an address in the US to receive mail.

I know there are some business services such as a rental address service ？ but it would be helpful if there is a place where I can do this online or other procedures from Japan.

I would appreciate it if there are people who have kept an address in Japan after returning to Japan, or if there are people who know more about it.

Dear MAMI

Some banks such as Chase and US Bank can change your Japanese address.
Otherwise, the only way is to sign up for a mail forwarding service such as shipito.
For US citizens and US residents, it is difficult to open a non-US account due to FATCA.
I know someone who uses a forwarding service
if they can't come to terms with their parents in the US, etc.
