I am planning to apply for a marriage based green card in the US.
I went to the SSN office today and applied for my social security card. I told them that I wanted to change my name to → First name+Middle name(maiden name)+Last name(husband's last name), but they told me that at this stage I cannot put my middle name, so I should come back with it to change it when my green card comes.
If I am due to receive my social security card in 2 weeks and then apply for my green card, if I put the social security number I got on the application form ( my new last name without my middle name ) and my green card without my middle name Is it possible that my green card will also be without my middle name?
If that is the case, I am thinking of saying no social security number on the form.

I didn't have a number when I applied for my green card because my SSN was made after I received my green card.
Same thing, I got it by marriage. It may be different than already having one and not being able to get in, but in my case I had no SSN.

I had SSN card with Japanese name because I had SSN before marriage and I kept my SSN and applied for green card with
Japanese surname ( maiden name ) in my middle name and received green card with First Name+Middle name[(maiden name +Last name(My husband's surname ))
I received my Green Card !
After that, when I ADD my name to my husband's bank account, I changed my SSN name to the same as my Green Card, but it was easy to change.

I entered the country on April 1 this year under ESTA and got married in Hawaii with my boyfriend who is from Hawaii. I filed an I-130 to apply for permanent residence and USCIS sent an email to his email address saying that they received it, but I have not received a letter. I am entering the country under ESTA, so I only have 90 days to apply. ? If so, what should I do next? ? Since May has already passed and I am running out of time to stay on ESTA, I was wondering if anyone has applied for permanent residence under ESTA as well? ! 🙇‍ ♀ ️

I am a green card holder.
I am applying for a re-entry permit for my child to go to school in Japan. ?
I would appreciate it if you could give me a reference of the reason for the application and the period of time stated in the application.
I asked my lawyer to help me and it cost me $1500 not including the application fee. Since the paperwork was simple, I am wondering if I should ask an attorney or apply myself.
I am hoping to get advice from someone who has experience.
Thank you in advance.

Ten years ago,
my son applied for a Reentry permit to go to college.
The reason for applying was to attend school.
He got a permit for 2 years and then extended it for 1 year.
He could have extended it for another year, but he did not apply for it because he had decided to go to graduate school at that time.
He resigned himself to the fact that he would have no choice if it was taken away from him, and
My husband obtained citizenship in case it was taken away.
My husband became a sponsor and got his green card again
Strangely enough, we lived in Japan for 3 years and came back to Hawaii twice a year, and we have been able to keep our citizenship without being blamed by immigration.
We applied for the permit by ourselves both times.

Thank you for your quick response.
I guess we all think the same way. I am relieved.
I also decided to stay in Hawaii in case of emergency.
Since I haven't decided which country I will be based in, I decided to forgo citizenship so that I can continue to live in Japan as before.
I still feel that I can apply for re-entry by myself, right?
It is very difficult because there are many things I don't understand, but I am relieved to hear an experienced person's opinion.
Thank you very much for your valuable opinion. ‼︎

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.

at the level that allows them to apply.

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.

When I entered the U.S. from Europe using Global Entry the other day, after having my picture taken on the monitor, the officer called my name one by one and I was allowed to enter the U.S. immediately. When I asked why I had never been treated differently before, I was told that everyone says so.
I don't see the point of receiving a global entry...
I know there are quite a few people in the U.S. with name discrepancies, but do you all use Global Entry? ?
I'm thinking about lining up with the examiner's example from the beginning.

I think it took at least 6 months to get preapproved after applying online. I remember how tiring it was to write all my work history, address, etc. as if I were a permanent resident when applying online. It's not easy to get. Because I thought they were checking my criminal background and probably everything. You can do the interview at a lot of different places, but I chose the L.A. airport.

I only use it twice a year and it's economy class, so I can get through immigration early without having to wait in line automatically, but I end up waiting with my suitcase, so I don't see much point. Personally, if I were someone who only had carry-on only luggage, it might be useful.

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.

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.

As in Japan, if your parents are not paying taxes in the U.S. as a resident, you could not attend a public high school exchange student for more than one year, could you?
I think you would get more up-to-date information if you look for study abroad groups on the Internet or Facebook and exchange information with students.

By the way, the Los Angeles Unified School District has a FAQ on their website, so please use a translation tool to read it.

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

You can't get an American passport without citizenship.
It's a different dimension from the passport you originally had and maintained with Japanese citizenship. You can't be trusted because you keep saying random things.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.
