Nice to meet you !

I am married to an American and hold a GC. When we got married, I took my husband's surname in the Japanese family register. In the U.S., I kept my maiden name and switched my GC to 10 years, which I recently received after 3 years.
I recently renewed my passport with my new surname and my maiden name in brackets, but I am panicking ? that it is a problem that my passport and GC have different surnames.
Would this be a problem ?
I thought I would keep my maiden name in the US, but should I not do that ? ??

In my case, it is a bit opposite.

・ Japanese family register → I have a marriage notation but chose to keep my maiden name → I thought my husband's name would be written in katakana
・ Passport → maiden name + ( husband's name ) + Name and Name and
・ Green Card → Surname

I have been to Japan many times with this. I have been to Japan many times with this.

It was a long time ago. 
When I did web check in to Japan, I could not do web check in because the name on the passport and the name on the ticket did not match.

Then, after going to the airport, I asked ? how to avoid the error next time, and was told that I could issue a ticket with the name in parentheses, but then the name on my frequent flyer card would be changed and my existing mileage would be lost. In the end, I am still having my ticket issued with only my husband's name.

But now that I think about it. ?
But now I think... But the exact reason why it stopped giving me errors ? ? is because I always use the same place. 

But still, isn't it slow to get the GC ?
Does your husband also have your surname ? or is it different ? ( that's why it took so long ? I guess it doesn't matter ? )

Nice to meet you. In my case, it is the opposite of the Lord's. I have kept my maiden name in Japan and changed it to my husband's last name in the U.S.
The last name on my passport and green card are different, but I buy airline tickets every time with the name on my passport and have no problems.
By the way, in the past I have never been pointed out that my name is different with regard to airline tickets, but
the other day I tried to switch to a driver's license with ID at the DMV and was unable to create it because my name was different.
( If it is a regular driver's license, there seems to be no problem ) I hope this helps.

Pensions in the U.S. after renunciation of permanent residence

Question

I am currently a permanent resident of OC. I am considering returning to Japan permanently in the near future and am considering giving up my permanent residence status.

I went to the Social Security Office today to learn about my future pension plan in the U.S. I told them that I intend to return to Japan permanently in the future, and they told me that if I plan to leave the U.S., I must become an American citizen or a permanent resident in order to receive my pension. I was reminded to be very careful because I would not be able to receive the pension unless I became an American citizen or a permanent resident if I planned to leave the U.S. I thought that I would be able to receive the pension from the U.S. after returning to Japan, even though there were tax issues, so I asked the supervisor to check again, but the answer was the same. I have been divorced from my ex-husband of many years and was shocked to learn that my own ji pension and the ex-husband based pension that I was told I could choose when I reached full retirement would all be invalid and I would not be able to receive them.

I know I shouldn't doubt this because I was told by the Social Security Office, but I have lived in the US for a long time and have almost no pension in Japan, so if this is true, I have a lot of things to reconsider. If this is true, I have to reconsider a lot of things.

I would appreciate it if you could share this information with me.

I will be stationed in Irvine starting in January.
I live with my 4 children, ages 4 and 2.
We are currently living in Chicago and had no choice of a house but a townhouse because Chicago is very hard to shovel snow.
Do most expatriates living in Irvine live in townhouses, apartments, or single-family homes? ?
I know there are advantages and disadvantages to each, but I can't imagine what it would be like in a different climate than Chicago.
Also, any recommendations on areas?
I am looking for rent within $5500.
Thanks in advance.

I used to live in Chicago. It's a nice place, but cold. LOL
It depends on what part of Irvine you want to live in, how many bedrooms you need, and if you can drive … but the climate is pleasant and comfortable year round. There is a lot of entertainment, the beach is only 15 minutes away by car, and you can even go skiing in the snowy mountains if you drive 2 hours.

With houses, you have to do the renovations and maintenance on your own, which is inconvenient. With apartments and condominiums, it's easier because they take care of the maintenance. If you have young children, I recommend a place with a park.

I think it is by far the easiest place to raise children.

Rent means rent, so maintenance is the landlord's obligation.

These are off-road type motorcycles. Most of them can be used on public roads. Racer type bikes are not allowed to be used on public roads.

I've never heard of renting an off-road bike in Hawaii, but
I took a tour once a long time ago.
I'll post the site.
They don't have license plates, so it's more like a fun tour...

http://dirtbikeoahu.com/

Also, I searched around and found a rental shop that has dirt bikes
that you can ride on public roads in Waikiki. I think.

It is a Kawasaki KLR650, so
it may not be what you are looking for, but
here is the site too.

How to find a rental

Housing

I am planning to move to Honolulu and
looking for a room in this real estate and room-sharing board.

I would like to rent from
a rental company in the real estate section that has a company name listed, but
I am having trouble finding one.

In the room share forum,
there is an agent who introduces
a lot of units, but
he/she changes all the names in a serial (It's not against the rules and it's fine, but I can't tell the same person
from another one.

It is not mentioned on the rental page, but
Fee and referral fee ? for taking over to the owner
$350 or $500 extra
If possible, I am looking for only those who do not need to pay the fee, I'm having trouble with the confusion.

I'm looking for a furnished place to start with, for about 6 months,
is there any other way to find it ??

Even if you find a property on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, I think
you should be fine as long as you get a proper showing and meet the owner ? before you decide to move in.
We are on the renting side, but on the other hand, there are some suspicious prospective tenants who have not had showings and
sometimes inquire from off-island locations, such as the mainland, to decide to move in!

In Honolulu, especially in Waikiki, there are very few lenders for people who want to live in Honolulu, and there is an imbalance between the number of people who want to live in Honolulu and the number of people who rent. Therefore, the rent is going up and up.
Also, as you know, Waikiki is a hotel complex, so condominiums built in between the hotels are especially popular. Kalakaua AVE and Royal Hawaiian AVE are the center of the city, and as you move away from them, rents become a little cheaper.

Normal Homeowners Insurance includes Plumbing.

We have AAA insurance which includes auto, homeowners, and earthquake.

I've only used auto when I hit another car lightly.

I don't use insurance because I can fix things that are easily fixed by myself, such as house sewage.

The kitchen and bathroom sewage side of the house has a sewer line that runs to the street outside

Sometimes I have to dig up the yard, so I might use insurance for that.

We use AAA, but I haven't compared it to others, so I can't answer "recommended insurances".

You could go to various insurers from one end to the other and say what your requirements are and compare.

There are many different insurance companies, but I may not be able to comfortably give you a "recommendation" because the amount of payment varies greatly depending on detailed conditions.
