I think the corona vaccination is now required when renewing or obtaining a green card.
Has anyone ever had any other vaccinations but not the corona vaccine and passed the Weiver to the green card ?
Thank you very much.

I have a dual citizenship/nationality question. I have an emergency need to go to the U.S., but I only had a Japanese passport, so I applied for an esta as a Japanese and entered the U.S. as a Japanese. I thought it was "outside of the U.S.", but it was recently pointed out to me that the meaning was different. I can't do anything about it because it has already happened, but I would appreciate it if someone who knows about this issue could share it with me. By the way, I was able to enter the country without any problem.

If you want to return to Japan permanently, you should remain a GC with no hassles.

Whether "・ ・ ・ problems later" is decided by higher-ups

During a permanent residence interview, a stupid interviewer complained that he didn't have an I-94, but
the I-94 had been discontinued.

Hello.
If you know anything about this, please let me know. I have decided to marry my US citizen boyfriend and apply for a green card. I am embarrassed to say that neither of us is financially able to afford it, and we plan to have a joint sponsor. Because of these concerns, we would like to apply for a green card with the help of a lawyer. Please let me know if you know of any good lawyers or lawyers with good reviews that you all have asked for.
I am thinking of budgeting 1000-3000 for attorney fees only $. Thank you in advance.

In the past, people used to apply for it even if they didn't work in the restaurant and had the paperwork signed.

When it came time for the interview and he had to submit the confirmation documents again, he had them signed and he got it successfully.

2 . $ 660.
3 . Perhaps the documents will be sent to your contact address. I don't think that notification by e-mail is the first step.

In case you are wondering, I applied last September and still have not received it.

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.

And my Green Card was received within 10 days. However, my wife's I-90 is still under examination and she has not received her Green Card. It has been 14 months since I received my Green Card. Is this a common case ??

Then, if an ordinary Japanese passport expires, he loses Japanese nationality ?
Passport expiration, possession and nationality have nothing to do with it.
There are many Japanese who will never have a passport for the rest of their lives.

No fingerprints, no signatures, no re-taking of photos.

However, I would like to know if it is possible to study in the U.S. with a visa other than an F1 visa, or if there is another way to study in the U.S.?

As in Japan, if your parents are not paying taxes in the U.S. as a resident, you could not attend a public high school exchange student for more than one year, could you?
I think you would get more up-to-date information if you look for study abroad groups on the Internet or Facebook and exchange information with students.

By the way, the Los Angeles Unified School District has a FAQ on their website, so please use a translation tool to read it.

I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ?
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay
even after obtaining US citizenship?

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.
