Marriage after overstay, green card

Hello. I entered the country previously on a tourist visa to meet my American boyfriend (now husband). My boyfriend became sick with an internal disease and while I was taking care of him, his visa expired and he overstayed. We later married in the U.S. and my husband is now healthy and he has a stable income. I have never worked in the US. I am applying for a green card, but I am paroling ? because of my overstay and I think I will have to go back to the US Embassy in Japan for an interview.
I am quite anxious because Trump will be president for a period of time. I am worried that I will not be able to re-enter Japan ? if I go back to Japan because of the alternative situation due to Trump being tough on immigrants.
I would appreciate your advice or anyone with similar experiences. Sorry for the rambling.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)

I think you are applying to immigration within the US, in which case if you were married to a citizen, overstay would not have been an issue. \If you are married to a citizen, then overstay was not an issue. The way to go for an embassy interview in Japan is to apply to the national visa center, not the immigration office, so the application documents and waiting time are totally different, but what is the situation like? If you have already applied, you would have been able to apply under the same conditions as a marriage with a normal citizen, regardless of overstay.

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

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. This text has been translated by auto-translation.

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.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Server Chip

- summer
- 2024/10/25 09:13
I am currently a lunch server at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant is open all night with no lunch break, but servers rotate with dinner servers at 4:30pm.
Since there is one server for both lunch and dinner, each server gets a tip.
However, the customers around 4:30pm are more subtle; it is the lunch server who is in the middle of the meal, and the dinner server who takes the check and lowers the plates.
The dinner server gets a tip for that customer.
Is this a normal part of the server duties ? I have a few questions about the subtleties of the shift times.
I do not place a check on a customer while they are eating before I come up, as it is against the rules.
Please let me know if there are any differences in calculation between Japanese and American restaurants.

That is correct. It can be disruptive for a new employee to challenge an existing rule. If the current rules are considered fair, it may be wise to follow them.
If you feel there is room for improvement, it may be beneficial to have a quiet discussion with your manager or to exchange ideas with other colleagues.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Thank you all for your answers. The tip is of course split with the kitchen staff at the time. It is not the sole responsibility of the server.
However, since only servers rotate between lunch and dinner shifts, the kitchen staff is not affected.I am a little uncomfortable with the service I give being passed on to other servers as I believe the service I give is included in the customer's tip, but I will try to come to terms with it somewhere.

The explanation apparently lacks consistency. It is understandable that there is some confusion as to whether each server receives tips directly or whether the restaurant collects them once for distribution with the kitchen staff. Perhaps it would be best to reconfirm this frankly with the staff.

I don't know if it's the same person or not, but there was a topic about buying a house in Japan and wanting to live a Japan-US hybrid life, but if you have $250,000 to send, why don't you ask an expert instead of asking questions here ?
Some questions here get lame responses, so I'm not sure if that's helpful ?

While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.
Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.
Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.
Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.
Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.
It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

For checks over $5,000, you can still cash them at a bank, but there might be a hold on the funds for a few days1
. Here are some options:Visit the Issuing Bank: Go to the bank that issued the check (the bank of the person who wrote the check). This can sometimes expedite the process1
.
Your Bank: If you have an account, you can deposit the check there, but be aware there might be a hold on the funds1
.
Check Cashing Services: Places like ACE Cash Express, Check Into Cash, or Money Mart can cash large checks, but they may charge a fee1
.
Retail Stores: Some large retailers like Walmart offer check cashing services1
.
It's a good idea to call ahead and confirm their policies and fees. Do you have a preference for any of these options?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)

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.

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.

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. This text has been translated by auto-translation.
