Please let me know if you know of any stores in Oahu, Hawaii that take pictures for green card applications.
I can take it myself with an app, or at Cosco, Walmart, etc., but I am looking for a photo shop that actually does it because I want it to meet the regulations for green card applications.

Question for those who have renewed or applied for a new passport at the Honolulu Consulate after March 2025.

The website states that after March, passports are made in Japan and sent to Honolulu, so it takes one month from application to issuance. Could you please tell me how long it actually took to receive the passport ?

for reference?

It took 3 weeks and 4 days, so almost a month.

It's only for serious crimes,

like drug trafficking, for example, or being the main suspect in a demonstration.
But if you have multiple repeated DUI violations, you might be in trouble.

By the way, DUI ( and DUI ) are serious offenses.

In June of this year, the Consulate General of Japan in Honolulu sent the following email regarding compliance with U.S. laws and regulations.

< Compliance with U.S. Laws and Regulations ( Notice from the U.S. Government ) >

●If you enter or stay in the U.S. illegally or violate other laws and regulations ( such as driving while intoxicated ) you may be arrested ・ fined ・ imprisoned, and may result in cancellation of your visa ・, deportation from the country
, and a ban on re-entry.

On May 29, ( Thursday, ) the U.S. government issued a reminder to embassies ・ and consulates general of all countries, including Japan, regarding compliance with laws and regulations in the United States.
The U.S. government has informed us that those who enter the U.S. illegally, exceed the period of stay in the U.S.,
or violate other laws and regulations may be subject to arrest ・ fines ・ imprisonment, or even deportation
We also ask that diplomatic missions inform their citizens that if they are deported, they may be permanently barred from re-entering the United States.

*We ask all Japanese nationals and visitors to the U.S. to be aware that illegal entry, illegal stay, violation of laws and regulations, ( activities outside the status of residence, drunken driving, etc. ) may result in arrest
and detention ・, risk of large fines, and even cancellation of visa ・ status. You may also have your visa status revoked, be deported, and be prohibited from re-entering the country

I heard that some green card holders have recently been stripped and denied entry by immigration officials.
The reasons vary, such as having a criminal record.
I plan to return to Japan next week.
I have a green card but I am concerned.
I wonder if a traffic ticket is also a criminal offense ?
or if having a record of being in the country illegally is also a reason ?
Please share any information you may have.

I came back from Japan last month.
I was not asked any questions at immigration and was able to enter the country easily.
If you don't have a criminal record, I don't think you need to worry too much !.

Your concern is valid. Even if you are a Green Card ( Permanent Resident ) holder, there is no chance that you will be denied by the immigration authorities. The following are some of the most common reasons for denial of entry into Japan. Main reasons for denial of entry
Criminal record

Especially "immoral crimes ( CIMT )" and drug-related crimes are likely to make you ineligible for entry.

A fine, even if suspended, may be considered a "conviction". If you have a record of illegal presence

overstaying ( or overstaying ) or working illegally in the past, this may be a problem for immigration officials. In particular, if you have a history of entering the country under ESTA, please be careful when declaring the length and purpose of your stay.

I returned home in the third week of June, one month before my GC was due to expire and in the process of being renewed. I have no criminal record, but I have 4 ・ 5 traffic violations in my 20 years in the US. I brought the renewal application with me, but was told that I did not need it because my GC had not expired. They complimented me on how the Japanese organize everything and ended with a "Welcome Back" with almost no questions.

I think people who get stuck with immigration in the first place will get stuck even without the Trump administration.

Renewal of passport while applying for green card ( maiden name → new name )

Has anyone updated their passport while applying for a green card ?

I am currently applying for a green card with AOS ( Adjustment of Status ) from K1 visa.
I submitted my application documents with my new name, but the Japanese passport I submitted as proof of identity is still my maiden name.

I am thinking of renewing my passport with my new name.

Is there any problem if I change my passport while applying for AOS ?

If anyone has experienced a similar situation, I would like to know if it affected you. I would like to know if anyone has experienced a similar situation and if it had any impact.

Also, if anyone knows if I need to report to USCIS ・ after renewing my passport, I would greatly appreciate it.

If anyone has had a similar experience, we would appreciate it if you could let us know.

Please do let us know.

You can renew your passport with your new last name. You do not need to report to USCIS after renewal. If you are not exempt from the interview, you may bring your current passport with the K1 visa affixed to it to the interview. If you do not have your new passport at the time of the interview, you do not need to bring it with you.

Nice to meet you
We are currently in the process of getting a green card with an attorney.
However, the attorney we have hired is ignoring our emails and phone calls, which is causing delays in various procedures and stress in our lives.
Therefore, we would like to know if we can fire this immigration attorney and sue him for emotional distress, etc. If you know of any litigation attorneys, please let us know. Thank you in advance.

Before that, why didn't you change lawyers before you felt the pain ?
Besides, I don't think you're wasting your time getting involved with such lawyers any more. Hawaii is full of these looser people and they are all unreasonable as long as you live here.
But if you don't have the mentality to accept unreasonableness and move forward, I think you will have a more stress-free and comfortable life in Japan.

Good evening.
I am sorry to hear that you have had an unsuccessful attorney.
You can easily apply for a green card by yourself or your husband.
It is not a case that requires a lawyer. Good luck.

I have a dual citizenship/nationality question. I have an emergency need to go to the U.S., but I only had a Japanese passport, so I applied for an esta as a Japanese and entered the U.S. as a Japanese. I thought it was "outside of the U.S.", but it was recently pointed out to me that the meaning was different. I can't do anything about it because it has already happened, but I would appreciate it if someone who knows about this issue could share it with me. By the way, I was able to enter the country without any problem.

If you want to bury your bones in the U.S., you should be an American citizen.
If you want to return to Japan permanently, you should remain a GC with no hassles.

Whether "・ ・ ・ problems later" is decided by higher-ups
not by the individual.

During a permanent residence interview, a stupid interviewer complained that he didn't have an I-94, but
the I-94 had been discontinued.

Departures from the US are reported by the airline.

Hello.
If you know anything about this, please let me know. I have decided to marry my US citizen boyfriend and apply for a green card. I am embarrassed to say that neither of us is financially able to afford it, and we plan to have a joint sponsor. Because of these concerns, we would like to apply for a green card with the help of a lawyer. Please let me know if you know of any good lawyers or lawyers with good reviews that you all have asked for.
I am thinking of budgeting 1000-3000 for attorney fees only $. Thank you in advance.
