I have a question for those who have had a name change, such as registering in the US, or have had similar experiences with SSN, DMV.

I was in the US on OPT which expires 2/29/2024 and I married a US citizen in the US in November 2023. I am currently in the pending period of obtaining a green card.

Since I am on OPT, my driver's license will also expire on 2/29 tied to that, so I went to the DMV with the I-797c I received in the green card application process and the EAD for my life until 2/29, hoping to get my license before it expires.
They accepted those two as documents for renewal of my license, but to my foolishness, I had forgotten to change my SSN name and was told that I could not renew because my name in the system was still my maiden name.
(I-797c was issued with my new last name. )

I panicked and went to the Social Security office to try to change my name, but was told, "Your current EAD until 2/29 has too little validity left to change your name." They also did not accept my I-797c and Marriage Certificate.

I tried to apply for AB60 because I need a car to live without, but one DMV said, "No, because it's a pending green card period and you don't qualify as someone who can apply in the first place." Another DMV said "I-797c can't do it, you need to bring your I-797" etc. I am confused.

Long story short, my question is
・ Is there any way to get a license under these circumstances?
・ Once the I-797 arrives, can I use it to rename my SSN ? Has anyone had such an experience ? Will I have to wait endlessly for the new EAD to arrive … tears

Rough question Sorry for the sketchy question, but if anyone can lend me some wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Are you waiting for a Work Permit ? I hear a lot of people say they got it right after applying for a GC.
With this, you would get a new expiration date for your SS. 

I think you can change the name on the license at a later date. Licenses < generally can be renewed > within 60 days of expiration, but there may be exceptions.

I think you can change the name on your license or SS by submitting a change of name form later. You could try Online if it's a bad idea.

Aya-san

If you have a W-2, you can go to IRS.com and choose a free tax return program that suits you.

If you are not sure, you may want to email the IRS and explain your situation and ask what kind of documentation will be required to prove that you were in Japan last year.
Even if you have not been in the U.S. for 6 months, if you have some income in the U.S., you will need to file a Tax Return.

If you do not do a Tax Return this year, you can do a Tax Return going back 2 - 3 years, but if you have a Green Card, you can only leave the US for 2 years ? If you are in the US and not working, you do not need a Green Card. If I stay in the U.S. and don't work, I don't need a Green Card ?.

For a tax return of < first year > with GC income, the tax return treatment is completely different depending on the date of GC acquisition and the date of entry into the US. This makes it very complicated to add Japanese income to your tax return and receive US benefits. I have sent you an email for more details, but I think you should ask a tax accountant who is familiar with Dual-Status.

Hello. I have a question regarding the renewal of my 10 year permanent residency. My wife and I applied last year on January 25, 2021, and our fingerprints were taken on March 20 of that year. And my Green Card was received within 10 days. However, my wife's I-90 is still under examination and she has not received her Green Card. It has been 14 months since I received my Green Card. Is this a common case ??

Then, if an ordinary Japanese passport expires, he loses Japanese nationality ?
Passport expiration, possession and nationality have nothing to do with it.
There are many Japanese who will never have a passport for the rest of their lives.

I renewed my GC online on March 3, a week later I received the paper for the 2 year extension approval, and then on March 22 I received my new GC.

No fingerprints, no signatures, no re-taking of photos.

If I could get it so quickly, I would have been happy to go through the renewal process a little later since it was valid until August.

I would like to send wine, whiskey, and other alcoholic beverages to Japan as a gift
but I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that can ship them. ?
From my research, it seems that there are restrictions on regulations and licenses
and I'm not sure if it is possible to mail them. I am pondering.

Also, I am assuming shipping from home, not from a winery or brewery.

Thank you!

I don't know which shipping company you use, but
usps, fedex, and ups don't seem to allow alcoholic beverages.

You can contact OCS

If you can't, you can send wine or whisky as a gift
from a Japanese department store's website.

Payment can be conveniently made by credit card.

As you said, I was refused by the actual stores of
FedEx, USPS, and UPS because they are legally unable to ship alcoholic beverages from the US to Japan without a license to export them.

And ordering from a department store catalog. It didn't occur to me ! ! !

I was thinking of just buying it here and sending it, but
I'll see if I can order the sake I want to send online in Japan.

Thank you very much for your kindness.

I don't think insurance will be accepted, but the pain and symptoms that were not cured by Kaiser have been improved by going to this place. By the way, he is a Japanese doctor alone.

During the corona period, I suddenly could not raise my left arm, so I went to see Kaiser and was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. I went to Kaiser Physical Therapy for a while, but it never got better, so I stopped going there.

Later, when my corona had settled down, I went to see an osteopath in Japan and was diagnosed with a supraspinatus rotator cuff injury. I went to the hospital every day for electric therapy, massage, and exercises using equipment, and I got a little better. One day at a super public bath, a Korean lady gave me a lymphatic massage as a service, and for the first time in two years, my left arm, which had not been able to come up for two years, came back to its normal position.

Now I have pain and numbness in my right arm, and when I saw Kaiser last week, I had an x-ray that day and a nerve test later that day. I was also told to get Physical Therapy so I made an appointment.

I have also had physical therapy and massage without insurance, but it sometimes made my symptoms worse, so if you have Kaiser insurance, why not see Kaiser first? They will refer you to the right department and doctor for your pain and symptoms.

I was told to wait and see for a few days because the muscle itself is already inflamed, so if the situation doesn't change after that, I will try the injections you mentioned. Thank you very much !

I am currently attending the school. What I appreciate most is that almost all of the teachers can understand Japanese. As a Japanese family, it is great to be able to communicate with the teachers, and my child enjoys going to the school without feeling any barrier of Japanese ・ or English. Whenever I talk to the teachers, I know that they truly care about my child. I think the tuition is a good deal when you look at the ratio of time they take care of your child.
The only drawback is the location. If it were a little closer to Town, it would be easier to attend.

Thank you, but
blood tests, x-rays, and other expenses are quite expensive.
Rather than trying to find out what is wrong with me in the early stages,
I feel like he is trying to attract patients because of the decrease in patients due to the corona,

I took a chance and changed doctors.
He is a Japanese doctor.
I have not been contacted for an appointment.
But if you have a problem, he will see you remotely and quickly. I hope you find a doctor you like.

Usually, primary care doctors, gynecologists, dentists, and I make an appointment for the next year at the reception desk at the end of my visit. If it is not convenient for me because it is the next year, I can change it by phone or online (in the case of doctors in Queens, Kapiolani).

If you tell them that you are not satisfied with the customer service of your insurance and you want to change, they will find a doctor for you.

It depends on your insurance plan, so even if you want this doctor, it is impossible to change
