Q1: What to do with the 401k from the previous company
You can leave the account as is, or you can roll it over to the new company's 401k. Depending on the Benefit of each 401k, you can decide which is better for you. I would keep one account if at all possible, but it is up to you.
Q2: 401k and IRA, and 401k Matching
I would only do my current company 401k while I am working. They will add a percentage of your savings. ） so you can reach your goal faster than if you were to accumulate on your own. When you retire, there is no more matching, so you can roll over to an IRA and consolidate.

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.

We have one child, but we didn't have a lawyer, we both went to court to file and it only took a month. This was before Corona, so it may take longer now. The documents were checked by the concierge at the court, and we were able to correct and submit them after checking them with each other, so it was a smooth process.

I am under the care of Dr. Shelly Loui at Kapiolani Hospital. I don't know from her name, but she is a Japanese-American doctor, but she does not speak Japanese. Her husband also works at the same hospital, and she is a beautiful doctor with 3 children and is almost 50 years old.
When I asked her about my health condition after delivery, she told me clearly that she would check my child's growth and that she couldn't examine my body, which seemed a little cold. However, I had to have several checkups for my child until he/she turned one (especially I had to have many checkups because of my child's slow weight gain), and many times the doctor was on vacation (when his/her child was out of school), so I had to see an alternative doctor. I feel that Dr. Loui is clear, precise, and lean, and I am now at ease with him.
Does Nina Teluya have any complaints ？ Maybe she has too many patients and is not getting around to them ？ I liked that doctor, but when I was looking for a doctor, I tried to make an appointment for an interview, but first I had to leave a message in the office and wait for a call back. When I tried to find a doctor, I had to leave a message at the office and wait for a call back. I got a list of pediatricians from my birth doctor and searched for each one on Google. Some doctors don't have much information, but I chose the ones with as much age and reviews as possible.

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.

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.

My son is big now, so this is a long time ago, but
I started working with a sitter when my son was 3 months old.

I was not sure about it, but I didn't want to lose my job position and for my living.
With only one horsepower of my husband, our life is up and up.
Because a temporary return to Japan is a dream.

At that time, the cheapest place for a 3-month-old infant was $ 1200
so I asked a nanny who took care of many infants in her house in Kahala.
At that time, we brought our own milk and diaper $ 700.

Some people are worried about sitters, but
our family was very helpful.
I think you can visit any of them.
Even after we started preschool, we also had a one-time sitter during the summer and school vacations. Please refer to this as one idea.

Like Sean0914, I went back to work when my son was 3 months old. In my case, I decided not to go back full time right away, but to return to work on a short time basis in the same industry I've always worked in.

There were two reasons I did not return full time.

It was my first time raising a child, and I wanted to devote myself to childcare for a while.
I didn't think I could survive on the same standard of living as before with babysitters and day care. \I was not sure I would be able to live with the same standard of living with a babysitter or daycare. I was trying to find a day care that would allow me to live at the same standard of living that I had been living at $. I think I did a lot of things by trial and error.
As a result, I did not rely on the government, but with the help of others, my child grew up to elementary school age and I am now doing the work I want to do.

Thank you all for your replies. This question is one that different couples make different decisions about, and there is no answer.
Your opinions are very helpful because we all have one thing in common: we live in Hawaii.

I received a list from PATCH and found a relatively inexpensive day care, so I applied to the Wait List as soon as I could.
Sean0914 mentioned affordable home sitters （ I was not introduced to any ？ ） that are not officially registered, so I will try to find a home sitter. Also, both my husband and I are currently off on weekends, but we have discussed with them that one of our options would be to change his day off to a weekday. I would miss not having a day off together, but it would save an amazing amount of money.
I also thought it would be nice to make friends with other pregnant women like Minmin and do some nanny sharing ？.

As for assistance, unfortunately our income seemed to be too high to apply for assistance.
But we will not give up and will try to find a consultation service.

I can't imagine going back to work after 3 months at all, but I feel that it would be better to just try it and if it is too tough, become a housewife.
（ It is also quite difficult to quit once and find a place to work again ）

Again, thank you all for sharing information.

Also, I will put a call for pregnant women friends in another thread, so please let me know if you do.

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.

I had Invisalign braces.
The price the dentist quoted me was $6500 and my insurance covered $1000, so
I paid myself $5500.
Later, when I was checking my insurance bill, I realized that the amount of the bill that insurance allowed was about $4500
I showed the bill to the dentist myself and got about $1000 back.
So I was able to do it for about $4500 in real terms, and that was in 2018.
Now, prices have gone up, so it may be higher.
My friend who also had Invisalign done at another clinic at the same time was more expensive.
I can't recommend the dentist who was my dentist, so I'll refrain from recommending him, but
there is a process of grinding, so the gap was left a little bit unfulfilled, and I'm still a little rattled myself
I'm a little unhappy with the finished product, so I recommend choosing a doctor who is more experienced I would recommend you to choose an experienced teacher.
Of course, it will look much better than it did before the braces. I changed from that doctor to another dentist this year, and the new doctor said to me, "This is still after orthodontics", so I still think the orthodontics was a little too tight. I think the aesthetic sense of the doctor is quite significant.

But they kept asking me who bought the tickets. I also thought they were suspicious of me because I was staying for a long period of time. They also asked me many times if I was a business person.

I know he is suspicious of me because it is a benefit from him, not my parents. And my family doesn't have a single connection to the US …. Also, the rule is within 90 days, so I haven't done anything illegal, but the examiner told me that if I am in the US for more than a month, I have to be in Japan for more than a month before I can come to the US. Even though there is no such thing in the law. I am not working, so I guess that is another suspicious point. I was searched for my belongings and then released, so I'm sure that will be the case this time as well, but what is the definitive NG item is also a mystery to me.

If you are on board with your husband's relationship, I don't have a problem with it. I am on the American male beneficiary, so I think it's a no-no. I've been released after separate rooms in the past, so I think it's ok, but this time I'm going to Europe for a trip, so I'm wondering if they'll be suspicious since it's Chicago → Minneapolis after I go to Europe.

CBP Officer
Recently, there are more and more strict regulations on immigration for permanent residency and papa activities
I think it's true that there are some places in Hawaii where you can have papa activities without a visa.
It seems that there is a Japanese agency that allows people to go to Hawaii without a visa, and there is a bar in the back of Triton that has a private room in the back where you can go and have daddy activities. …
I know a girl who went to Hawaii alone to attend her friend's wedding and was sent to a separate room from immigration,
She had a boyfriend here and he stayed here for 4 weeks twice a year for a year and a half. She even made a dummy reservation for one night at the first hotel, but she made sure to check out on the day she checked out.
She will not be able to enter Hawaii or the U.S. for at least 5 to 10 years.
Immigration in the U.S. is really tough, especially these days.
