My passport and green card have different last names.

Nice to meet you ！

I am married to an American and hold a GC. When we got married, I took my husband's surname in the Japanese family register. In the U.S., I kept my maiden name and switched my GC to 10 years, which I recently received after 3 years.
I recently renewed my passport with my new surname and my maiden name in brackets, but I am panicking ？ that it is a problem that my passport and GC have different surnames.
Would this be a problem ？
I thought I would keep my maiden name in the US, but should I not do that ？ ？?

In my case, it is a bit opposite.

・ Japanese family register → I have a marriage notation but chose to keep my maiden name → I thought my husband's name would be written in katakana
・ Passport → maiden name ＋ （ husband's name ） ＋ Name and Name and
・ Green Card → Surname

I have been to Japan many times with this.　I have been to Japan many times with this.

It was a long time ago.　
When I did web check in to Japan, I could not do web check in because the name on the passport and the name on the ticket did not match.

Then, after going to the airport, I asked ？ how to avoid the error next time, and was told that I could issue a ticket with the name in parentheses, but then the name on my frequent flyer card would be changed and my existing mileage would be lost.　In the end, I am still having my ticket issued with only my husband's name.

But now that I think about it.　？
） But now I think... But the exact reason why it stopped giving me errors ？ ？ is because I always use the same place.　

But still, isn't it slow to get the GC ？
Does your husband also have your surname ？ or is it different ？ （ that's why it took so long ？ I guess it doesn't matter ？ ）

Nice to meet you. In my case, it is the opposite of the Lord's. I have kept my maiden name in Japan and changed it to my husband's last name in the U.S.
The last name on my passport and green card are different, but I buy airline tickets every time with the name on my passport and have no problems.
By the way, in the past I have never been pointed out that my name is different with regard to airline tickets, but
the other day I tried to switch to a driver's license with ID at the DMV and was unable to create it because my name was different.
（ If it is a regular driver's license, there seems to be no problem ） I hope this helps.

Pensions in the U.S. after renunciation of permanent residence

Question
#1
  • 年金
  • mail
  • 2024/11/28 00:48

I am currently a permanent resident of OC. I am considering returning to Japan permanently in the near future and am considering giving up my permanent residence status.

I went to the Social Security Office today to learn about my future pension plan in the U.S. I told them that I intend to return to Japan permanently in the future, and they told me that if I plan to leave the U.S., I must become an American citizen or a permanent resident in order to receive my pension. I was reminded to be very careful because I would not be able to receive the pension unless I became an American citizen or a permanent resident if I planned to leave the U.S. I thought that I would be able to receive the pension from the U.S. after returning to Japan, even though there were tax issues, so I asked the supervisor to check again, but the answer was the same. I have been divorced from my ex-husband of many years and was shocked to learn that my own ji pension and the ex-husband based pension that I was told I could choose when I reached full retirement would all be invalid and I would not be able to receive them.

I know I shouldn't doubt this because I was told by the Social Security Office, but I have lived in the US for a long time and have almost no pension in Japan, so if this is true, I have a lot of things to reconsider. If this is true, I have to reconsider a lot of things.

I would appreciate it if you could share this information with me.

I will be stationed in Irvine starting in January.
I live with my 4 children, ages 4 and 2.
We are currently living in Chicago and had no choice of a house but a townhouse because Chicago is very hard to shovel snow.
Do most expatriates living in Irvine live in townhouses, apartments, or single-family homes? ？
I know there are advantages and disadvantages to each, but I can't imagine what it would be like in a different climate than Chicago.
Also, any recommendations on areas?
I am looking for rent within $5500.
Thanks in advance.

I used to live in Chicago. It's a nice place, but cold. LOL
It depends on what part of Irvine you want to live in, how many bedrooms you need, and if you can drive … but the climate is pleasant and comfortable year round. There is a lot of entertainment, the beach is only 15 minutes away by car, and you can even go skiing in the snowy mountains if you drive 2 hours.

With houses, you have to do the renovations and maintenance on your own, which is inconvenient. With apartments and condominiums, it's easier because they take care of the maintenance. If you have young children, I recommend a place with a park.

I think it is by far the easiest place to raise children.

Rent means rent, so maintenance is the landlord's obligation.

Normal Homeowners Insurance includes Plumbing.

We have AAA insurance which includes auto, homeowners, and earthquake.

I've only used auto when I hit another car lightly.

I don't use insurance because I can fix things that are easily fixed by myself, such as house sewage.

The kitchen and bathroom sewage side of the house has a sewer line that runs to the street outside

Sometimes I have to dig up the yard, so I might use insurance for that.

We use AAA, but I haven't compared it to others, so I can't answer "recommended insurances".

You could go to various insurers from one end to the other and say what your requirements are and compare.

There are many different insurance companies, but I may not be able to comfortably give you a "recommendation" because the amount of payment varies greatly depending on detailed conditions.

Failure to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle

Problem / Need advice

  • 2024/11/11 10:55

The other day in Los Angeles, I was driving on a one-way street with three lanes in each direction, and a police car came up behind me with its lights flashing, but I couldn't change course to the right immediately because there was a car alongside me on the right, and then the police car approached right behind me, so I thought I was being stopped, so I pulled over to the left corner and I pulled over to the left corner and stopped. In fact, the police car seemed to be heading toward some crime scene, and as a result, I ended up blocking the path of the police car. As the police car passed by, a police officer shouted something to me, but I didn't hear it because my window was closed and it was only for a moment. The police car then drove away. I was not given a ticket or asked to show my driver's license at the scene, but I wonder if the police or the court will send me a summons to appear in court later in this case. I would appreciate it if someone who is familiar with the procedures for traffic violations could let me know.

As long as you're not blocking the path of a police car, you'll be fine, don't worry
I'm pretty sure they'll send you a kip if the school bus stops and doesn't stop when the STOP sign is up, though.

I understand your concern. First of all, please rest assured. Traffic violations usually result in an immediate ticket, but if, as you have indicated, no ticket was issued, it is unlikely that a citation or other order to appear will be mailed to you.

Medical Examination for Green Card

For status adjustment, I am going to take a medical checkup for a green card in the US. It seems that I need an English translation of my immunization record, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to get a blood test for antibody check without the record instead ？ I heard that insurance does not cover this medical checkup, in that case, how much was the cost ？?

If an English translation of the immunization record is required, a blood test for antibody check may be substituted even if no record is available. However, it is recommended that you check in advance, as specific measures vary among medical institutions and diagnostic centers.

Regarding the cost of medical checkups, if insurance does not cover the cost, the cost varies depending on the test and diagnostic center, but generally costs several hundred dollars. It is best to contact the diagnostic center directly for specific costs.

About 10 years ago, we bought an old two-door refrigerator that had been on the market for sale because a student who had studied in Japan wanted to get rid of it when he returned home. The refrigerator in the garage broke down and we asked City of LA to bring it back to us as mentioned above.

Until then, we used to cut watermelons and other large items in half and refrigerate them in their refrigerator, but it was very inconvenient when the refrigerator was out of service. Today I was lucky enough to find a house for sale nearby, with a good-sized refrigerator sitting in the open garage, ready to be seen.

I asked the homeowner about it and he said it was something he wanted to get rid of. I asked him, "Well, can I have this?" and he said, "Dozo, dozo," and I used my hand truck to carry it to his garage. Now I can gobble up cold watermelon again as much as I want. My wife was also very happy to have another place to chill some bottles of fine wine that she had received from other people.

Shohei, congrats on #46
I left the Angels and can't go to the games
I gave up on the Dodgers because the tickets would be too expensive

Yesterday's game was pretty empty in the outfield and the infield
Why is it a Sunday game?

Ticket price is too expensive ？
It's too hot ？

I gave up watching the game because parking is too much trouble, but
I'm willing to go if I can buy tickets at reasonable price.

How did you get tickets and what is your plan to go
？

Any advice or parking tips ？

54,
That is a truly unfortunate event. Fireworks accidents can be very dangerous, especially if you light them yourself. It can certainly be frustrating that young people don't learn, but education and awareness efforts are important.

Regarding the use of taxpayer money for medical care and disability certification, we need a system where society as a whole supports each other. It would also be nice to see more education and regulation to prevent accidents and injuries.
