Has anyone been Reinstated after Green card abandonment?

I am a Japanese citizen in my 50s and have been living in the U.S. with a green card. I would like to return to Japan to take care of my parents, and after their death, I would like to live in the U.S. again with a green card. My parents have no chronic diseases and are in good health. In other words, there is no expiration date on their residence in Japan. I understand that I can only provisionally waive for about 2 years to temporarily return to Japan with a green card. If anyone has ever re-instated after living in Japan with a waiver, I would appreciate your advice.

If you are returning to Japan to care for your parents without setting a time limit and then returning to the U.S. again, I think it would be best to first obtain U.S. citizenship and then stay in Japan with a permanent residence permit, as recommended by Showa Ototsuan. Once you let your green card lapse, it may be difficult to get it again. ( I don't have any experience with this, so I don't know for sure. )
I am a citizenship holder ( I became a citizen about 15 years ago ) but I returned to Japan about 10 years ago for the purpose of returning permanently. At that time, I first entered Japan with a short-term ( 3-year ) visa and applied for a permanent residence permit after entering the country, which was granted in about a year. I remember that I did all the procedures by myself and it was not so difficult. However, after 4 years, I decided that I could not live in Japan and came back to the US. ( I now live in Hawaii )
From my experience, I believe that Japanese immigration control is kinder to "ex-Japanese" and not as strict as the US green card system. I think it is advantageous for U.S. citizens to travel between Japan and the U.S. in situations where the length of stay is not very predictable. However, it depends on when you return to Japan, and whether you will be able to obtain citizenship by then. In my case, I remember it was about a year after I applied. ( It was quite a while ago, so I am not too sure. )

I'm sure no one cares how old you are or whether you use the men's or women's restroom as long as you're accompanied by a parent. Well, I'm sure the male parents would be reported for using the women's restroom.

It may depend on the location, but at our local gym and pool, it is under 6 years of age to be allowed in the opposite sex lockers and bathrooms.

It would be best if there was a family bathroom where parents and children could go together, but if there wasn't, I would let my child go alone in the men's restroom and I would wait for him to come out in front of it. If it took too long, I would call out from outside or ask the man who came out of the bathroom about his child.

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 am having trouble with a $35,000 claim for a car accident I caused a year ago. It was a rental car and I had property damage insurance on the main unit, but I caused the accident when I removed the liability. The other driver's car had a little dent near one door, but I don't think it would cost this much because the original car was old and beat up. However, there is a note that it includes the administration fee and defense fee.
No one was injured at the time of the accident.
I often hear about whiplash later on, but … I don't know about that fact at this point.
The other party was an elderly Korean couple.
We are still new to the US and can't hide our impatience at this sudden situation.
Please, anyone can give us some advice.
I guess we should find a lawyer first ?.

? In the U.S., in the case of an accident, if you negotiate directly with the other party, you may get into trouble, so you read the police report on the spot.
Liability for car insurance should be compulsory.
I went to my insurance company a few days ago, and they said that Liability is compulsory for everyone.
Liability does not cover you and your car in case of an accident. Only the other person's car.
Usually, the two parties do not deal directly with each other. The insurance companies communicate with each other.
Or, if you are going through a lawyer, the lawyers will communicate with each other.
If you don't have a police report, it's hard to say because you don't have any evidence.

If you have a lawyer, it will cost you money, but it is better to have the lawyers or the insurance company communicate with each other, based on the Police report.
I think everyone has to have Liability in California, and Liability only covers the other party's car and the other party only.
And if you don't have it, you have to pay for everything in an accident.

Or you can go to Small Claim Court and talk to the other party and the judge will decide. Unlike normal, this court deals with small items.

Thanks for writing. I wanted to reply, but it was like sending an email and I'm not sure how Vivinavi works, so I'll leave it here.
We did not have Liability, but had insurance on the rental car itself. The receptionist told me Liability was optional. That's not right either. This is a rental company with quite a lot of stores. We did not call Police. We had just come to the US and had an accident and were panicking.
The other driver was from Korea, but I don't know if he was in a hurry or what, but we didn't call them.
I have looked into credit card insurance and company insurance that would cover this accident, but I seem to be at a loss. We are still in the process of negotiating the amount.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

In the U.S., you must call the police immediately after a traffic accident and get a police report. The first thing Americans do after an accident is to call the police. You have to do it. You should remember that.
If you don't get a police report, you will usually get into a dispute with the other party, and it will not work. If you call the police, the insurance company will take action, but if you don't get a police report, the insurance company will not take action because they don't want to pay you money. You will cry yourself to sleep.
Even now, it is better to go to Police and ask them to write a report and negotiate directly with the other party and have the insurance companies work with each other because it will never work.
