As a follow-up to #8, if you are submitting
Adjustment of Status with I-485 (How to get a green card in the US ）),
I-131, Application for Travel Document
and
I- 765, Application for Employment Authorization
should also be filed at the same time.
I-131 is the document that #8 mentioned, which authorizes temporary departure from the country during the application process. If you leave the U.S. without this, the I-485 process will be over there.
The I-765 is the document you need to work on until you receive your green card.
You can read more about it in the link in #2.

I did my I-485 and other applications through an attorney. I think it is generally done through an attorney as well. However, if you look up I-485 DIY, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
However, based on the above discussion, I think it would be a good idea to consult an immigration attorney first to see if it would be better to continue with the Adjustment of Status process or to return to Japan and obtain an immigrant visa through an embassy interview.

Supplement.
I wrote that I entered the country in October 2018, applied for a green card with Adjustment of Status from ESTA in November 2018, and received my green card in the mail shortly after my couple interview in July 2019 at the Honolulu office of USCIS downtown, but I remember I remembered that I received instructions for fingerprinting in December 2018, so I made an appointment in January 2019 and had my photo taken and fingerprints taken at the Honolulu office of USCIS. The photo and fingerprints taken at that time were used on my green card.

First of all, Mr. HALE has already completed your application ？
Do you know which documents you submitted and all the document names ？ Do you keep copies of the documents you submitted ？
#9, Koji wrote "I- 131, Application for Travel Document, and you cannot leave the U.S. until the authorization document is returned to you.

"What should I do next ？?" but if you have submitted the documents and USCIS has received them, then you will have to wait.
In my case, after mailing the documents, I just had to wait for instructions.
If USCIS has received the documents, I think the next step is to have your fingerprints taken and a photo taken, as long as the documents are complete and everything goes smoothly.

Six years ago, my husband submitted his paperwork by mail. We mailed them with a check for the application fee.
If the check has been cashed and debited from the bank, then I believe the documents have been received by USCIS and the review process has begun.

I applied in 2018 so at that time there was no online submission option and I submitted my documents by mail.
Mr. hale did you file online ？ did you file by mail ？
https://www.uscis.gov/i-130
If you did online filing, you can check your case status. If you filed online, it says you can check your case status online, so you can check the status of your application yourself.

The estimated processing times for the I-130 are available on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

There is also a website where those who have filed green card applications with USCIS report their progress.

Same time as Mr. Hale, April 2024. Some have already received instructions for biometrics appointment （ photography and fingerprinting ） after filing I-130 and I-485 in April 2024 at the same time as Mr. Hale.

I have been living in California, USA for about 8 years
My F-1 visa has expired, I only have a valid I-20, but I rarely go to school
I have an I-20, so it is legal I am getting married to a Japanese permanent resident
Is there any problem if I register the marriage at the consulate? ？
and can I get my Permanent Resident status immediately ？ too?

Congratulations on your marriage.

＞ It is legal because you have an I-20
It is up to USCIS, a law enforcement agency, to decide whether it is legal or not, so I think you should not make an easy decision yourself.

＞ Is there any problem if I register my marriage at the consulate ？
Why don't you call the consulate in Japan and inquire about it ？
In the first place, diplomatic missions abroad are set up to support Japanese nationals living abroad. In the first place, Japanese consulates and consulates abroad are set up to support Japanese people living abroad.
When I first started living in the U.S., I had a lot of problems and things I didn't understand. I called the Honolulu Consulate and explained the situation, and they gave me valuable advice every time.

＞ And can I get my permanent residence right away ？
Why don't you ask USCIS how long it takes to get permanent residence?
In your case, your spouse, a Japanese permanent resident, will be your "sponsor" to apply for your permanent resident status.
In my case, my husband, who is a US citizen, sponsored my application for permanent residence.
My sponsor husband called USCIS and explained my situation at the time, and the person who answered the phone carefully explained all the necessary documents ・ and procedures.
I submitted the documents as instructed by USCIS and successfully obtained my green card.
Since your prospective marriage partner will be your "sponsor", I think the ideal procedure would be for your prospective marriage partner to contact USCIS and assist Ms. Minty in obtaining permanent residence.

I didn't have a number when I applied for my green card because my SSN was made after I received my green card.
Same thing, I got it by marriage. It may be different than already having one and not being able to get in, but in my case I had no SSN.

I had SSN card with Japanese name because I had SSN before marriage and I kept my SSN and applied for green card with
Japanese surname （ maiden name ） in my middle name and received green card with First Name+Middle name[(maiden name +Last name(My husband's surname ）)
I received my Green Card ！
After that, when I ADD my name to my husband's bank account, I changed my SSN name to the same as my Green Card, but it was easy to change.

I entered the country on April 1 this year under ESTA and got married in Hawaii with my boyfriend who is from Hawaii. I filed an I-130 to apply for permanent residence and USCIS sent an email to his email address saying that they received it, but I have not received a letter. I am entering the country under ESTA, so I only have 90 days to apply. ？ If so, what should I do next? ？ Since May has already passed and I am running out of time to stay on ESTA, I was wondering if anyone has applied for permanent residence under ESTA as well? ！ 🙇‍ ♀ ️

Does this mean that your child is not a US citizen but a green card like you ？?

Ten years ago,
my son applied for a Reentry permit to go to college.
The reason for applying was to attend school.
He got a permit for 2 years and then extended it for 1 year.
He could have extended it for another year, but he did not apply for it because he had decided to go to graduate school at that time.
He resigned himself to the fact that he would have no choice if it was taken away from him, and
My husband obtained citizenship in case it was taken away.
My husband became a sponsor and got his green card again
Strangely enough, we lived in Japan for 3 years and came back to Hawaii twice a year, and we have been able to keep our citizenship without being blamed by immigration.
We applied for the permit by ourselves both times.

Thank you for your quick response.
I guess we all think the same way. I am relieved.
I also decided to stay in Hawaii in case of emergency.
Since I haven't decided which country I will be based in, I decided to forgo citizenship so that I can continue to live in Japan as before.
I still feel that I can apply for re-entry by myself, right?
It is very difficult because there are many things I don't understand, but I am relieved to hear an experienced person's opinion.
Thank you very much for your valuable opinion. ‼︎

You can apply from Hawaii, but if you are entering the country as a tourist, you may be in trouble if your reason for entering the country is false.
I have heard that military personnel can get a VISA through the military earlier than usual, so I can't say for sure, but if you expect to wait more than 6 months between the time you apply and the time you get your VISA, you don't have to wait until January. ☺ By the way, I applied for a 10 year green card right after I got married because of the Corona disaster, but it took me 2 years to get it, so I got a 10 year green card from the beginning.

Kan, it depends on the immigration officer who does it. Sometimes they issue a conditional one because it's still less than 2 years old administratively on the date you apply, and sometimes they issue a 10 year one because
okay, fine. So saying it will take a long time to get it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a 10-year one. This is all luck.

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.

Then, if an ordinary Japanese passport expires, he loses Japanese nationality ？
Passport expiration, possession and nationality have nothing to do with it.

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.
