Permanent residency after returning home

Question

Please let me know if you know of any.

I am currently considering returning to Japan. I know that I can return to Japan and still receive Social Security in Japan after retiring from the US, but what will happen to my permanent residency?

1 ． Can I still receive Social Security in Japan even if I give up my permanent residence?
2 ． If I want to keep my Permanent Resident status, do I have to return ？ to the US once a year?
3 ． If I stay in Japan without doing anything, will I automatically lose my permanent resident status?
4 ． I have heard that the permanent resident status remains the same unless I voluntarily renounce it, but
if I eventually come back here with the permanent resident status after 5 or 10 years （ if I am still alive and well ） can I come back
with that permanent resident status? Can I come back with that permanent residency 。。。。

I am considering returning to Japan to care for my parents, but after they pass away, if I am still healthy, I would like to come back to the US. I would like to receive the pension in Japan, but I am wondering what will happen to my permanent residence after that... I have so many questions. If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

If you have citizenship, you are no longer a Japanese citizen.
If you want to return to Japan legally, just do as the officials say.

So if a Japanese who became an American citizen
cannot be issued a visa unless he/she goes through the process of renouncing the cancellation of Japanese citizenship.
I'd like to know what people who have become US citizens and are going to Japan think about this.

＃ 130 ， ＃ 131

Are you an American citizen who is going to Japan?

Let me answer your question about Tutsan.
I also called the consulate and was told to remove my family registration before applying for a visa.
Then I thought about it and realized that removing one's family register is the same as renouncing one's nationality.
In other words, people born and raised in Japan don't have a piece of paper to prove their Japanese nationality.
The only proof that you are Japanese is your family register.
The family register department at the government office has no way of knowing that I became an American citizen unless I notify them, and I haven't removed my family register, so it must still be there.
I think that if I have a family register, it means I have a nationality.
Of course I know that Japan does not recognize dual citizenship.

So, back to the question, did you remove your family register to get the visa?
I guess it is correct to say that I did not.
I did not remove my family register because I was still attached to Japan, and I felt that my identity was there.
Also, there was a possibility in my mind that I might return to Japan in the future.
I have heard that the procedure of living in Japan will go more smoothly if I have my family register in order. Anyway, I'll leave my family register as it is for now and hope that Japan will soon accept American travelers without visa like before.

If a Japanese person changes his/her nationality to American and has to obtain a visa
to go to Japan,
the person who changed his/her nationality should think about what to do and come to a conclusion.

Some people cancel their trip, others have to go because of family reasons,
there are various reasons, so they should think about it and come to a conclusion.

But I don't see any posts from people who have cancelled their nationality and got a Japanese visa.

Is it considered suspicious to not have a driver's license in LA ？?

When I told an American that I did not have a driver's license, he said, "Are you an illegal alien? I am a permanent resident of the US. When I applied for a job at a Japanese company and told them that I did not have a driver's license, I was repeatedly asked why I did not have a driver's license ？. I live in Tokyo, Japan, and I don't have a parking space, and I just never thought about getting a driver's license.

I would appreciate the following questions.


1 I do not have a license and it is impossible for me to drive my car to court.

2 I live in Gardena and the location of this Jury Service is Los Angles, can I have it

transferred to Torrance court house ？? \모듈을 보려(You can get there by bus.) ）

3 Do I need a certificate of corona vaccination ？


I am in real trouble because Feb 14 is coming.

My gf circled "I don't understand English" and yet we were asked to serve on the jury.

So, on the appointed day, we went to the court and found that several times as many people as the jurors who would participate in the actual trial would be gathered, and we were taken to a large waiting room. After that, it seems that the presiding judge himself picks up the jurors from the list, and then a staff member comes to the waiting room and asks who and who not to come. My wife's English was terrible （ and her pronunciation was actually terrible ・ and her word order was bullshit ） and she exclaimed, "I don't understand any of the jargon used in court" and was told that she could go home.

In my case, I was once called to a civil court, not a criminal one, but I didn't seem to get picked up and I went home quickly. It seems that even if you circle "I don't understand English" these days, they ignore you and the judge summons always seems to come.

PCR test for entry into Japan, how to do it for free or at a low cost

I am thinking of returning to Japan possibly next month and will need a PCR test within 72 hours.
$ There are some places that will do it for about 100 ~ $ 200, but
if I do it and the result is positive, it would be a waste of money, to be honest.
I found out that there is a place called TTS that may be able to do it and there are some testimonials about it, but is there anything similar
in Orange County ？ （ TTS was not available in Orange County ）
. XPRESS URGENT CARE does, but
I'm not even sure if it is currently covered by insurance. I would be very happy if you could share some information with me if there is any place that actually does free or cheap
writing in Japanese format.

It would be impossible for them to write it in Japanese format because they cannot read it.

What about having it certified by Notary Public.

If you marry an American soldier...

I have lived in LA for many years and was denied entry a few years ago. I didn't get penalized like being banned from entering the country for a few years, but I think it will be difficult to get a visa in the future for a few years. （ I don't intend to apply for a visa or anything like that in the near future because of Corona at the moment. ）
I thought that marrying a US military person in Japan would be the most reliable and easy way to go to the US, and I have corresponded and met with US military people on tinder, but as I imagined, my personality does not match with US military people.
By the way, I live in Kansai, so there is no US military base nearby, and I don't have any American women friends.
There may be people here who married US soldiers and moved to the US, so I may be offended if I write this, but I was watching on Instagram for American women who dated and even married all US soldiers, and they all seemed like idiots, just as I imagined.
I am tall and have a body shape that is not Japanese, and I sometimes wear American-like fashions and am sometimes mistaken for half-Japanese, so I am popular with Americans and can easily meet American soldiers if I want to, but I don't think my personality is right for them.

Does anyone know any episodes of people who married American soldiers ？
Does anyone feel like you should never marry an American soldier ？?

If your goal is America, you better not do it.

If you get GC anyway, will you divorce? American soldiers are also in trouble because of corona infection, and they don't have time to deal with Japanese. There are no good people.
I wonder if I will be able to live independently in the US?

Having said that, I see many examples of Japanese men who do business here who also use that line.
For example, restaurant owners and many others.
The wives are non-Japanese (I think there are a lot of American Mexican women, I have never seen a white woman)
In other words, the wife is the wife of the man doing business, and the owner is a green card holder.
In such cases, it's a win-win
Love will happen naturally, if they live together.

You don't have to be an American soldier to have an affair.
Even royalty and even billionaires.
He said it's rude

The more money you have, the more you cheat

but even if you don't have money, you still cheat

If you're going to be cheated on, the more money you have the better.
