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.

One question. You wrote that your child is going to a Japanese school
Does this mean that your child is not a US citizen but a green card like you ？?

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. ‼︎

Payment for the Clinic

Question

I mailed the clinic payment with a check, but it has been about 10 days and it still has not been debited when I look at my bank account. I called the clinic and asked if they received the check properly, but they said they don't know since they are asking the Billing company to do so, but they will inquire next week.
How long does it usually take for the check to be reflected ？ I am worried because it has been too long since I paid by mail.

I think it is up to the accountant working at the clinic to decide when the clinic will put the check they receive into their account.
I have paid various clinics with checks, and some were very slow, such as the one that was debited more than 2 months after I mailed it to them.
I was also concerned and called them, but the person who answered the phone gave me his name and said not to worry, as the system has recorded that you called me. The point is, if they have a record that you are willing to pay and that you have properly sent the check, I don't think the clinic will impose any penalty on you.
If you called, please note the date and time of the call and the name of the person who answered the phone so that if you do not receive the mail, you can prove that you intended to pay and that you checked with the clinic.

I am not a fan of paying by check mail either.
If you receive a bill and the clinic does not have an online credit card payment portal, you can call the clinic directly and ask if you can verbally pay by credit card over the phone ？ and they will accept the card payment over the phone. Some clinics will accept credit card payment over the phone.

I see that it has taken you 2 months. I am even more worried because I have heard that this clinic had a trouble with Billing campany from a doctor directly long time ago.
I should avoid paying by mail with a check as much as possible.

I have heard that if your profit from Uber Eats or Lifts is
less than $ 25,000 per year,
you do not have to file a
tax return for the following tax year.
I am wondering how this is actually the case.
Please share your experiences and what you have heard.

＞ I overheard information that you don't have to file a declaration.
It's a simple American system, but not a good or bad one.
Without an SSN, you can't register with Uber or Lyft, and
since filing a W9 is mandatory, the income is automatically reported to the IRS once the 1099 is issued by Uber or Lyft.
And if the income earner does not report it, the unreported surcharge and penalty will come around the time you forget.
The IRS is scarier than an immigration officer, so there is no way to misrepresent your income.

W2 is not issued for less than $400, so it is usually less than $400.

I have never used Uber or Lyft, so it would be nice to hear from someone with experience.

I'm afraid I've gone far beyond your comprehension. If you are a tourist, you don't have a home in the US. Your home is Japan.

No one asked you how to get to Del Amo from home. It clearly states that you don't depart from home, but from around Del Amo.

Yet you tell me to take an Uber or Lyft from my home to Del Amo.

Nice to meet you, I am currently trying to decide between Santa Monica City College or El Camino College. Do you have any other college recommendations besides that?
I don't care about my major since I have one at both, but I would like to know if anyone knows about the ease of living, around the schools, cost-wise, and the atmosphere of the students.
Also, I've heard that some schools are more lax and some are more strict ？.

In terms of security, Santa Monica is rather safer. Santa Monica has many homeless people, though. In terms of economics, El Camino College is better in terms of rent and food. Also, 20 years ago when I was a student, El Camino was very, very loose.

There aren't many students in this community, so I think you'd get fresher information if you DM people who go to either college on Instagram or FB and ask them directly.
In any case, good luck with your new beginning.

If you really want to improve your "English conversation" skills, come to San Fernando Valley where there are very few Japanese people.

I don't know if there is a kind of college called "Comic College" here, but

there are some non-UC State Colleges in this valley.

There is also a college near my house called California State University, Northridge.

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. ）

The following site will do the application on your behalf.

Find out what you need to do to apply yourself. First, check the requirements at the following site, and then look for blogs and other information from people who have actually applied on their own.

The important thing is to explain that you have enough income after returning to your country and that you have a guarantor such as a relative in Japan.
Good Luck!
