There is currently a group like this on Facebook, where Japanese people with various experiences in the U.S. participate as members, and I often see this kind of consultation.
If there is not enough information, why don't you post it here as well?

There are 12,661 members, so you will be able to see more people than if you post here, and there may be others who have had similar experiences.
You can post anonymously.

You may have a similar experience. From a man's point of view, it is like an old Chinese farming village story that if you get a wife from Asia, her adult children will come along and live with you. Therefore, if you are going to ask questions in a group, it would be better to have a Chinese or Filipino group with many years of expertise.

I am a timely viewer of YouTube with content similar to Kanikani22's question.
The good thing about this "Diceke" program is that you can hear the real voices of people living abroad who have actually experienced the program.
（ Actually it is not sound but text, lol ）
It may be none of my business, but I hope it will be of some help.

I think the application form is I-131.
I see that 14-79 year olds have Filling Fee $ 575, Biometrics $ 85, Total $ 660.

Since my mother has gone to the trouble of marrying an American citizen, is it not possible for her to acquire citizenship?
I think it is possible to bring the children over after citizenship.

I hear that citizenship can be acquired quite quickly by marrying an American citizen.

I wonder how many years it would take.
If it took 10 years, the marriage would be dissolved.

As #16 wrote,
Now that your student visa has been denied, you will most likely be denied entry even if you have ESTA.
Because ESTA is not a visa.
By the way, since your student visa has been denied, even if you apply for a B2 visa,
it will be denied unless you have a good reason. You will have to meet your mother in Japan or in another country such as Canada or Mexico. You would have to change your study abroad to some other country.

The esta is still valid, so there is a possibility that you can enter the country and stay for a week.
However, you can't go to a community college on an I-20 with the esta still in effect, so you will need to apply for an f-1 again.
As others have said, it is very likely that you will be rejected for the same reason, so it may be better to study in another country.
If you really have to try, even if it is just for appearances, I think your chances will improve somewhat if you emphasize that you have a job lined up after you graduate from the college and return to Japan, and submit a letter from that employer as well.
If you can get an f-1 visa, you can switch to a work visa or apply for permanent residence without returning to your home country after graduation from college. You may want to consult with an agent or something. I still wonder why the embassy knew that your mother was applying for permanent residence.

I see that the application form for the Re-Entry Permit is I-131.
Part 4, 1.a. of the same document is the Purpose of trip.

Reading Parts 2, 3 and 4 on the following site, it seems that there are no restrictions for permanent residents to obtain a Re-Entry Permit.
For Information About Your Proposed Travel, describe the purpose of the trip and which countries you intend to visit.
Generally, there are no restrictions for permanent residents requesting a Reentry Permit for temporary travel.

Not really an answer, but it took me about a year and a half from the time I applied for my Re-entry permit until it arrived at my home💦
My circumstances changed during that time and I no longer need it 😓

In my case, I applied for a Re-entry permit to live in Japan for a little while and decide whether the US or Japan would be better for me in the future.
I wrote the reason as it is.
I returned to Japan one month after applying for the Re-entry permit, but I could not get my fingerprints taken in Hawaii in time, so I went to the US Consulate in Tokyo and received my permit at the US Consulate one year later.

I applied about 3 weeks ago.　The reason is that I will be returning to Japan to take care of my parents.
Two weeks later, I received a letter saying, "We have received your application. We will start working on it now. The schedule for fingerprinting will be mailed later." I received a letter saying something like this. One week later, I received a letter from the USCIS office saying, "This time, you do not need to come to the USCIS office because we will use the fingerprints we took the last time. Just remember to change your address to your new one before you leave the U.S." I received a letter that said. I think it is because I had my fingerprints taken last summer when I renewed my green card. For the time being, we will be able to return to Japan even if we can't make the permit in time. For your information.

Thank you very much for your answers.
I see that the reasons for wanting to return home temporarily are not that strict. I am relieved.
I also understand that the period of time until the permit is granted varies.
Thank you very much.

And the sponsorship after you get your U.S. citizenship is faster, and if you're sponsored only for a green card, it takes five to 10 years, our immigration attorney told us.

I was in the same situation as midori and got a GC for my 20 year old daughter. I took citizenship and sponsored her. If you and your son have no problems, I think you will be able to get it smoothly in the next 5 years or so.

I know someone who had problems and could not get it. I know someone who was denied a GC because he had a history of working illegally and they found out about it.
Another person I know whose son had an accident and ended up in court was denied as well.
I think it's the same in all countries, they don't bother to give permanent residency to people with problems. I think it is the same in every country, but they don't give permanent residency to people who have problems.

#15 As your green card sponsor said

Certainly everything is faster for citizenship holders than for green card holders.

So would getting married.

If you wait until you get citizenship, it will take more than 6 years before you can call your family.

Even for American men, if their income is low, they are often not issued a green card to a Japanese woman after marriage!

Sorry for the sidebar.
If a Japanese citizen to citizenship holder sponsors a 23 year old child, will it still take longer because he is not under 21 years old ？

Also, if the 23 year old is in Japan, can he enter the US while applying for a green card? ？

Thank you in advance.

Have you applied for the green card lottery ？

I have met several Japanese who have won green cards and are living in Hawaii and California.

The odds of winning seem to be better than the lottery. Why don't you give it a try ？.

You may want to reapply for a student visa (F-1).
You may want to consult with an expert （ immigration attorney ） to find out what went wrong with your previous application, and
prepare documents to compensate for that.

Did you have another visa in the US before your student visa was denied ？ or did you get into any trouble ？ I don't know your age, but I have heard that student visas are tough to get if you are around 30. If you are still around 20, I don't think it is that common to be considered for marriage purposes. Once you are rejected, it seems to be very difficult.

You should have clarified what was needed first before writing. Everyone's situation is different, and even if you know, that person doesn't want to share the information they paid an immigration attorney to get for them with a stranger for free. I agree with Honolulu, you should consult an immigration attorney.
