Even if you continue to have a Glynn card,
if you can apply for citizenship, you can apply and you won't have to deal with the once-a-decade hassle.

I am not an American, so I don't have to worry every time I go to Japan.
Ex-Japanese, so it is convenient to speak Japanese from the time I enter Japan.

＞ It's not like, I'm an American, so nothing bothers me every time I go to Japan.

Then it doesn't matter. If you are concerned about it, you should check it out with your own eyes and ears, instead of relying on other people's posts.

He asks others if they have anything else to do, while he comes here for a change of pace, just as he has breaks at work. I come here for a change of pace, as if I have a break at work.

He seems to have a convenient mind.

I'm with you, but it looks like I didn't have to renew my old green card.
I know someone who didn't have to renew his green card
but they switched to the once every 10 years system.

Also, Citizen's application was $400.
This application fee seems to be going up a bit.

In my case, it was written on my green card that I did not have to renew it, but every year when I returned to the U.S., the immigration system changed and I was told that I could not enter the U.S. without renewing it, which I ignored for about 3 years.

Furu-chan, I'm glad you finally received it.　When the time comes when I can inquire about the status of my application, I too will submit an inquiry （ complaint ）.

GCs issued 1979-1989 are still valid without expiration date.　No need to renew.　More than a decade ago, a bill was decided to invalidate this as well, but it seems to have been forgotten without ever deciding when to implement it.

Sometimes when you enter the U.S., the officer will say, "This is not valid, you need to renew it," but they will let you enter because it is valid.　As you can see below, it is still valid.　If you find it more convenient to use the new digitalized GC, you can renew it.　Not being able to use the kiosk is inconvenient, but having to renew every 10 years is also inconvenient.

Older Green Cards or those without expiration dates
Green cards issued between 1979 and August 1989 do not have expiration dates and do not need to be renewed unless you wish to use Global Entry kiosks at international airports in the United States. you will have to get a replacement card. GE kiosks cannot read the old format Green cards.

If I renew online once every 10 years, is there any problem if I use the 10 year old photo as it is
for my green card photo?
When you leave Japan, if the airline counter staff compares your photo with the one taken 10 years ago,
they may not say it out loud, but they may think in their gut that the person at the counter looked cool 10 years ago
and the one taken 10 years ago looks very tired.

The Green Card holders are foreigners, unlike U.S. citizens, so they must abide by U.S. government policy.

Not once in 40 years did American citizens think about it? I guess it is because the goal is to return to Japan eventually, even after decades have passed. There are many, many Japanese who think this way.

Even if they become an American citizen, they go to Japan and get a Japanese passport and say "I am a dual citizen. They are not afraid to say, "I am a dual citizen.

It is natural for a former Japanese
to come to Japan to learn Japanese even though he/she is an American citizen.

Topic.　　　　'My wife and I applied last year on January 25, 2021, and my fingerprints were taken on March 20 of that year. And within 10 days I received my Green Card."

My wife's Permanent Resident Card arrived about 2 weeks ago. The expiration date of my wife's Permanent Resident Card that I received was September 28, 2032. My wife had to wait 16 months （ ？ ） to get the visa because my visa expired in March 2022. It was really a long wait.

My I-90 application date Jan 25, 2021 Approval date Mar 30, 2021
My wife's I-90 application date Jan 25, 2021 Approval date Sep 28, 2022
