Using a lawyer is a lot of work, but handling it yourself is easy, quick, and inexpensive, so
I highly recommend it.
I felt sad when I renounced my Japanese nationality, but I will never forget how grateful I am to be a former Japanese citizen.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If there are no problems with the application, I don't think you need a lawyer.
If there is something to be worried about, I would consult a lawyer.
If you are worried about your English, an agent, not a lawyer, will suffice.It is looser than green card. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

The content itself is at the same level as a basic driver's license application
If you understand the GC process and have a US university degree, you can do it yourself
Even if you use a law firm, the actual difference will be handled by a barrister
I am an engineer, not a law specialist.
I'm an engineer, not a lawyerI've retained a professional immigration lawyer twice for H1B
but the documents were too sloppy
I applied for GC by myself
I saved $10,000 in lawyer fees
I'm not a lawyer for GC to CitizenI'm a lawyer for GC to Citizen. No particular reason to fail ( unless you have an arrest record ) Self will not be a problem

After getting Citizen,
you only need to make efforts to renounce your Japanese nationality ( you know what I mean ~ )This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

By the way, ⒌,000 for citizenship is a rip-off

Nobel Prize and all
I think it is the stupidest action against the national interest
to try to get a good pure Japanese who left Japan and is working abroad to submit
papers for renunciation of Japanese nationality due to taking US and other nationalities
Hey Consulate ?
A good example is Otani
If he signs a long-term contract in the US and gets permanent residency or even citizenship
will you deprive him of his Japanese citizenship
I will be disappointed if he becomes an American
If the Japanese government continues to act without considering such things
the country will fall further and further
It is one idea to make a special exception to allow dual citizenship for pure Japanese, and a good policy while protecting the country can be made ?

I'm sure that you are trying hard but can't submit it. I am sure that you are making an effort but cannot submit it ~ because your Japanese is weak.
I guess you just have to keep trying to deliver it.
If you are going to pretend equality under the law, why do some have dual citizenship publicly?
I don't know if you are 18 or 21, but forcing people to make a choice based on their age is also discrimination based on age
There are restrictions on drinking and smoking based on age, insurance rates for the elderly change based on age, and tax rates change based on income, all of which are discrimination ?
In addition, there is a discrimination against those who are born in Japan. 966> Incidentally, there is a rumor that people who were born in Japan and have a family register
can easily apply for naturalization again
even if they renounce their Japanese citizenship

The Ministry of Justice does not deprive a person of nationality.
jIf you do not renounce one of your nationalities, you will remain in dual nationality status, and Japan considers this a violation of the Nationality Law.
But even so, it is as if they do not charge you with a crime unless there is something special about you.
