No renewal just means they didn't want to pay ？ How can someone who retains but refuses to pay be a citizen

I have a simple question.

It has been 40+ years. I wonder if the immigration officer at the
airport will have any distrust if the photo on the
card is different from the person in front of him who submitted it, even though it is a great thing that does not need to be renewed.

I'm afraid I've lost the purpose of the response and the post.
As for the GC with no renewal, it is legal. You can check it on the Immigration website. So I have never had a problem with custom to enter from overseas including to/from Japan.

Double Kim Man, 70+, I agree with the part about the benefits of citizenship. A long time ago, citizenship was not a benefit and I was not particularly interested in it because I am not rich enough to vote, jury duty, and taxes at the multi-million level, but I honestly feel that the Trump administration's mandates regarding GC retention are a hassle ↪Lo_V162↩(sweat).

An "unexpired green card" is an older type of U.S. Permanent Resident Card issued before about 1989 （ I-551 ） that does not list an expiration date and is still valid in principle, but is highly recommended by the Citizenship and Immigration Services
USCIS ） to be updated with a
Form I-90 due to inconvenience in traveling and using certain services （ such as Global Entry Due to inconvenience when using Form I-90, it is strongly recommended by the USCIS （ USCIS ） that you update your card to the latest version with Form I-90.
If you do not update your card, you run the risk of longer identification times at the airport, card reading errors, and you may also need a Re-entry Permit （ Re-entry Permit ） for long-term stays abroad.

Are the passport photo and the 40+ year old Grin Card photo the same photo?

Uri,
Thank you again for your response. I would appreciate it if you could understand that my topic is not about GC without renewal, but about the future policy and its direction.

When you say give to a family member's account, do you mean refund the money that was advanced to the family member? If so, how about using Venmo, etc., and registering the Venmo debit account with your main CPB?
Also, can you change the settings so that the debit from your bank account is also deducted from your CPB account instead of another bank?

When I transfer money between my accounts, even between different banks, my bank does not charge any fees. The only time I incur a fee is when I transfer money to an account in another name （ I use Wire Transfer, which is also usually $30 per transfer, but my bank reimburses me if I maintain the account for several years.

I opened accounts with various banks in Hawaii, but found them inconvenient due to frequent small fees, so I now only use Territorial. Here, both checking and saving are small, but interest is paid. In addition to this, I have several accounts with online-only banks （ that do not have branches ） that pay higher interest, and I use them separately from Territorial.

If I need to move money between friends or family, I use Paypal, Paypal should not charge a fee if it is between family and friends.

It's easy to feel like a pain to check and find out if there are a lot of small fees, but a year's worth of dust is a lot of money, so I made a change like ↑ over 10 years ago.

For some reason, swimming lessons are ridiculously expensive in the U.S.

The LA park recreation center does classes and they are inexpensive.
https://www.laparks.org/discover-activities?filters=category.Play_LA

PLAY LA twice a week for a month ＄ 10.
There is a test the last week to determine if you can move up to the next level.

In the US, outdoor pools offer swimming classes only during the summer months, while indoor pools offer swimming classes all year round.

Near Park La Brea is the Pan Pacific park pool, which is outdoor and does not offer classes in the fall and winter.
Then Eleanor G Roberts Aquatic Center is about 10 minutes by car and has an indoor pool with classes all year round.

My son used to take a few times ＄ about 150, but he rather enjoyed PLAY LA.

But the American swimming classes are short, about 25 minutes per class, so it's just a little too short.

Thank you for the detailed information.
It was very helpful to learn about the prices and class descriptions at PLAY LA.
I will look into the other facilities you mentioned.

Thank you so much for sharing the information based on your real experience.

Sorry for the sidebar ！

Do you know of any in OC ？ I heard there are about 150 a month in Irvine ＄ but I'm looking more around Fountain Valley and Garden Grove than Irvine. I'm not sure if I'm looking in the wrong place or not, but I can only find private ones.

I checked the above site for now.

I think it is more disadvantageous to convert "Yen" to "Dollar" in this country than in Japan. Maybe........

I have converted dollars → into yen at Narita Airport when I went to Japan for a trip a long time ago,
but I did it because I needed it for my trip to Japan, so I did not care about the market price at all.

Sorry for the useless response.

I would like to say 😭 I will exchange my money because every time I have to pay a Japanese bank to convert my money to dollars → yen for a fee.

The conversion rate is important, but I try not to carry cash in the US, so I think it's better to come all the way here in Japan. I think it's better to come all the way from Japan. After exchanging money, there are a lot of cases where people think you have money and follow you and rob you. I don't know from the airport yet, but it seems to be common in banks. I think it is better to exchange money in Japan and carry it safely.

I guess it depends on whether or not the visa is workable and whether or not the income is reported on the tax return.

Even if it did, it would be a problem because it's unauthorized.

I think he went to the Dodgers or something ？
I don't think he tipped off the customer, he tipped off the Uber driver or something
If the car is tied to you, he'll be caught in immigration
He'll check your cell phone history or something and you're out.

I was a private guide with both Vima Travel and Rocotavi until a few years ago. I knew for sure there would be a certain number of clients who would report to the authorities. We even got ice cream, so it was very difficult. We don't do it anymore. If you underestimate the importance of private guiding, I think you will have a bad experience.

Unlimited is good if you don't mind slowdowns ！

I don't know anything difficult, so I can always use it normally. I can expect to panic if it suddenly slows down or stops while I'm driving, so I'm excited to get unlimited.

I think people who understand how much they use, GB and capacity, can save more.

Last year I don't remember my battery running that low if I charged it in the morning and went and used it occasionally on the road, but this year I was often frustrated because I just used it a little and it ran out of charge quickly.

Last year I didn't carry a mobile charger with me, but this year if I didn't have a mobile charger, the battery was completely dead before the evening.

It is quite heavy to carry mobile charger, smartphone, and pocket Wi-Fi. But I think it is a sacrifice to make my stay in unfamiliar Japan as convenient as possible.

＞ I turned it on only when I wanted to make a call, since there was no incoming call.

This is too old a story to be of any help, but it was around 2012 when I stayed overnight in Dogo Onsen Town in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture on a walking pilgrimage to Shikoku on a trip to Japan, and the next morning I was walking through the city to the next temple, No. 52, Taiyama-ji. The next morning, I was walking through the city to the next temple, 52nd Taisanji Temple, when my cell phone rang through my pocket WiFi.

When I picked up the phone, it was a friend of my wife's (XX) and she said, "I tried to call you but you didn't answer, so I called your husband. \If you are there, can you please take over the phone?

That's not good. I picked up the phone and said, "I'm walking around Matsuyama city in Shikoku, Japan, and of course my wife is not around, so I'll hang up the phone. But the other party didn't seem to understand what I said, so they called me again right away.

I have such memories of Pocket WiFi, and I can still clearly recall the situation.

Thank you all for all the advice. I apologize for not responding to some of them. 🙇‍ ♀️We got back from Japan yesterday, we are here for a week. My husband texts frequently with friends in the US, so we got the Verizon travel pass. It's $12 a day per person. We went to Fukuoka City and stayed at a hotel with Wi-Fi, a shopping mall with Wi-Fi, used LINE with relatives in Japan, and were able to roam and Google where there was no Wi-Fi. Everything went well. Thank you all for your advice ♪ ❤️❤️👍👍🙇

#23 Anna,

I see...that's a way to go. I will use it as a reference for my trip to Japan next spring.

Well, I'm too old to surf the net while traveling in Japan unless I have to. Younger people may have many chances to contact their parents, siblings, or best friends by phone, but I am over 80 years old and my mother, who is over 100 years old, is living in a very good facility, but I have lost my head. I go to visit her at the facility, but I can't get a conversation going, even though my son has come to visit her. I guess that's what she means.
