International Marriage Has anyone removed the alias concatenation on the passport ??

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • いちご大福
  • mail
  • Yesterday 23:13

I am wondering if I should remove my alias at the same time as I renew my passport. The reason is that it is inconvenient for me to not be able to check in online or use any kiosks in the airport. I am not divorced or anything.

Currently we have the following.

Japanese family register : Hanako Yamada
Passport : Hanako Yamada (Smith)

My documents in US, Grobal Entry, GC, SSN, license, credit cards all have my husband's surname Smith. I use my husband's surname "Smith" for all my documents in the U.S.

I always buy my boarding passes at Hanako Yamada. Whenever I check in online, I always have to go to the counter and get a boarding pass manually from the staff because they scan my passport and find that my name is different from my name. Every time I have entered the U.S. via Canada a few times, the kiosk also makes an error and I have to wait 30 minutes for the agent to call me.
When entering the U.S. from Japan, I get an error when sending my customs documents and photo through the Global Entry app, and the Global Entry kiosk also has an error. But if you show Global Entry, GC, and passport at immigration, you will be allowed to enter US without any problem. I was told that it is difficult to remove

but when I told the consular officer that I want to remove ( ), he said that I should not remove because my name will be different from GC and it will be a problem when I enter the country. It is impossible to change my Japanese family register name in time.
I called US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and was told that even if my passport last name and GC last name are different, there is no problem if I have a marriage certificate.
They said that Global Entry should change to Yamada. He told me that if I just change my name, I don't need to re-interview.

I am stuck with the consulate people stopping me. I am not sure if I should continue to use the alias or remove it.
Did you ever remove it because of the same problem? ? Did you regret taking it off? ?

It is inconvenient to scan your passport at online check-in or to use kiosks at the airport at all, but it is a hassle every time. And outside of the U.S., would it be a problem to have the aliases together ?

Please share your experience.

Kenmohororo ( tears )
Can anyone tell me where I can take it now ?
I would like Japanese language support.
I only work 1-2 times a week for a few hours, so I make less than $10,000 a year. So it is tough to find a place that is expensive.

I am looking for a job in a hurry.
I am really in trouble.
Please please give me some information. m(__ _)m

If it's a simple tax return, I think one way is to do it yourself with Turbo tax ! payment is last, ( if you don't agree, you don't have to Submit ) and it's easy to answer the questions. You can even throw your questions to chat gpt now and then and get them in Japanese. Good luck !

Especially if you don't have a second job or income across the country or state, you can download Turbotax and do it yourself. It takes about an hour if you have all the necessary documents & numbers, and the results are easy to get within a few hours of submitting.

ringo and turbotax

Thank you for your quick comments.
I've been throwing it all to my accountant for a long time and wasn't confident, but
after reading the comments from both of you, I feel like I should try it myself !.

The income is from one place and probably not too difficult for me, so
I will consult ChatGPT or Gemini and give it a try ! ! !

"What to do, I am in trouble " I was upset and asked for help, but
I will try it myself for the future.

Thank you for your comment ♪

He says he will not come back to the U.S. after he returns to Japan with the children. My in-laws are cooperating and making all kinds of excuses and I am not getting to see my children anymore. I am posting this in the hope that someone can give me information on a good lawyer in NJ or even NY who is licensed to practice in NJ. Thank you in advance.

How to deal with neighbor's sex noise

I am very annoyed right now.
The man next door who moved in about a year ago started making this noise last summer. Because of this, the person who lived on the other side of that man recently moved out. I do not want to move. Is there any way to deal with this ? I don't think I can count on the landlord. Because I have repeatedly told them to get rid of the mopeds on the property, which I believe were probably stolen and dumped, but they have been there since last summer or so.

That's a problem. Mopeds and this issue would be different. You should tell your landlord about the annoying noise. If it doesn't change after you tell them, consider moving out.
Landlords will seriously consider it when tenants are leaving more and more.

I'll report this to my landlord because I like my current room, the location and the price, and I don't want to move as much as possible. When this noise started, the dog from the house next door was barking in response, but he hasn't been barking lately.

You should record it first ! they won't take up the conversation without proof. I was also bothered by this for many years, FYI.

This is a counter-prescription for when I was in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, noise is out between 10:00 and 7:00.
Hawaii is the same way, so
report it to the management company and if it hasn't improved,
it's perfectly acceptable to call the police.
Also, as other users have said, preservation of evidence is important and
necessary when notifying the noise source of a breach of contract.
Also, nationality depends on race, but there is a good chance that
the police will only come once and
it will stop. In my case, the landlord terminated the contract quickly after two reports.
However, if it is discovered that you are the one who reported the incident, the same thing can happen to you, and you can get upset
because of your race and nationality.
The strongest recording is a video with a clock and date and time.

Thank you all for the adbus !
I have to record it and leave evidence, and the noise standard has to be exceeded. And it could go to court ! ?
If it goes that far, this case may be at the unpleasant sound level of noise.

Hello
Please let me know if you are a green card holder.
I tried to apply for Global Entry, but it was rejected because the name on my passport is different from the name on my green card. ?
If you know how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
Thank you very much.

The difference in electricity costs between a stove oven and a toaster oven ?.

For example, I can use the stove oven to bake a turkey for hours on end, but
I'm worried about using a large oven to bake a couple of slices of bread , or a pizza for a few minutes.

Which oven would cost less electricity to bake a frozen pizza, a stove top oven or a toaster oven ?
Would my electricity bill be different if I used the convection function to make fried foods ?

What do you think? 869> What do you think ? I would be happy if you could share !.

I would love to know too. Since the oven has more space than the toaster, it would take longer to heat up the oven itself first. The toaster heats up in a matter of seconds, so I think this alone makes a difference in the electricity bill. We don't use a toaster in our house, but we have a two-layer upper and lower oven, the top is a regular oven but the bottom has a convection function.
The top is about one-third the size of a regular oven and the bottom is about two-thirds the space of a regular oven, so I always use the top when baking small items, but it takes less time than baking in the regular size open.
When I bake a smaller turkey or whole chicken, I also bake it on top, and it takes about half the time that the internet says, so this alone should lower your electric bill.
In my opinion, a toaster would surely be cheaper than this, but I would love to hear what others think.

Please be aware that the PSYCHIC who calls out to you in or near Beverly Center that your head is foggy is a scammer. I live on Melrose. There used to be a store on Third Street but no longer. I was told to prepare $ 500, roses and a raw egg for a ritual called exorcism and to sleep with them for a week.
A mysterious reading began saying God is listening to you. One of the questions asked me how much I had saved and told me to prepare for the next time, $ 2800, 28 years old, because I was 28 years old. I went into the store with everything recorded on my phone and investigated ahead of time.
I started to overreact to the theatrical reading and the bill was ripped in half ! I was so surprised, then with a yelp ! I broke a raw egg and a little black snake came out. I know it was a trick, but I couldn't figure it out the whole time I was watching. I was so surprised when the back door was slammed with more and more bangs ! and I had to go and I was staring at the little snake coiled around the snake the whole time I was gone, but it was so vivid I couldn't really tell if it was a puppet or not. After that, I was told that the torn cache and snake would be taken to the church and the show was over. Looking back, I had no knowledge that I could take the bill I had torn in two to the bank, stick it on, and put it back together if I could use it. I felt like I had been cheated
out of a cheap theatrical show. The look on his face when I told him I only had 100 in my property $ lol I should have just collected the torn bill and left. Later, when I was shopping at the Beverly Center, a young girl approached me in the same manner with a PRADA bag and a feathered look. I asked her about it and she said your head is clouded. She said something about a guy who wasn't good for you, and I thought, "Oh, this is one of his guys. The girl must have been calling somewhere and gave him my description. Why did you listen to her in the short message? I got a message like you are my client and I knew it was a scam and I sent her a message saying you are a liar and that was the end of it. I ran into someone who got scammed around and $ paid about 3000. He said he paid but nothing happened.
I can't forgive him for trying to cheat a genuine Japanese person by putting an ad in a Japanese-American newspaper ! I can't forgive him for being a fraudulent psychic who wears branded goods and lives a life with a cool air and looks like he has a good sense of humor.

I am looking for a place to request a TAX return and am asking about one.
I am thinking of hiring a firm called Okihara U.S. Tax Accountant's Office, but there is no address listed on their website.
Google maps shows the Irvine area, but without a specific address, I am not sure if it is really a good idea to hire them.
Please let me know if you have requested this service before.
Thank you very much.

I googled Torrance address was the only one I could find.

Either way, some places don't list their phone numbers on their internet sites because of the risk.

If your English is not good, you can start by asking a friend or other person who speaks English to call "phone information".
