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.

It seems to be for people staying with a visa, but I wonder if it is also for ） people whose visas have expired （ but are still staying ？
I am curious to know how far they will go in their search.

Only for serious offenders.

As for the parking ban, it's only a fine, not a crime.

You know, you should look up the meaning of a felony.

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

What a guy
It's natural to have such concerns because of that Trump and how the laws may change in the future. I wish Hawaii would go back to being friendly to Japanese with visas!

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.

① I attach a copy of my passport.

② Paper $ 630
Online $ 580

③ I guess you cannot receive it in Japan ？
I did my fingerprinting in Hawaii.

You have to wait until you are a citizen to be a topical sponsor.

You won't be able to sponsor.

I think everyone's time to get it is different, even before and after Corona.

Even to get a green card for marriage, everyone's background and husband is different, so some people take more than a year and some people did not.

Thank you all. I am aware that it is not possible for both parents. I know I can apply for my children if they are permanent residents ？
Is this also impossible with a green card that is valid for 2 years ？?

Topy
2 years is a temporary card.
It seems that the 2 year temporary was created because there are too many such purposes.
I heard that a few decades ago, you could receive permanent residence from the beginning without the 2-year temporary.

It is impossible for your child to get a 2 year provisional green card.
The 2 years is only provisional, not a real green card, and it takes 1 year to apply for a real green card after 2 years, and then after you receive the real green card, you can start applying for your child's green card, so you should allow 4 years for your child to get a green card!
My in-laws are very kind. My sister-in-law applied for the same thing in 2015 and it took 4.5 years.

It used to be OK. Now it is subject to denial to enter the country under ESTA, get married, stay in Hawaii for more than 90 days beyond the period of stay for tourism, and get a green card
The best way is to take your husband and live in Japan.

Here is an article by a law school professor for your reference.
I am not sure when you wrote it.
It was written here, but it seems that the response is quite different if the couple got romantically involved after entering Japan and got married, or if they planned to get married before and entered Japan under ESTA.
In any case, since this is a life-altering matter, it is advisable to consult an immigration attorney rather than relying on bulletin board information.

As a follow-up to #8, if you are submitting
Adjustment of Status with I-485 (How to get a green card in the US ）),
I-131, Application for Travel Document
and
I- 765, Application for Employment Authorization
should also be filed at the same time.
I-131 is the document that #8 mentioned, which authorizes temporary departure from the country during the application process. If you leave the U.S. without this, the I-485 process will be over there.
The I-765 is the document you need to work on until you receive your green card.
You can read more about it in the link in #2.

I did my I-485 and other applications through an attorney. I think it is generally done through an attorney as well. However, if you look up I-485 DIY, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
However, based on the above discussion, I think it would be a good idea to consult an immigration attorney first to see if it would be better to continue with the Adjustment of Status process or to return to Japan and obtain an immigrant visa through an embassy interview.
