I am sorry to bother you.
If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.

Basic information:
I am a green card holder.
I would like to return to Japan for 1-2 years, mainly to check on my 85 year old parent who lives alone. But I have to work to make money.

I am not sure if I will live in the U.S. after 1-2 years, and if I decide to stay in Japan, I can give up my green card. But if those parents pass away, you can live in the US again. \If I apply for a re-entry card, I can stay in Japan for up to 2 years for now ＆ Is it ok to work ？

Question ②
If I don't have a re-entry card and stay in Japan for less than 6 months within a year every year, I can keep my green card, but if I stay for more than a few years, say 5 years, is my green card subject to confiscation?

In the meantime, if you know anything, please let me know.
Thank you very much.


I think it would be better to ask the immigration office, but I was wondering if I could get your knowledge here.

I think Mr. Hawaiian is a robot, so don't take him seriously.

I think you should ask your lawyer.

AM1210 KZOO Radio, a
radio show on Fridays at 4:30 PM for 30 minutes.
There is a section for free questions to lawyers.
I had heard the same question before, but
I was listening while listening, so I don't remember the answer well.
It will be on the radio, but if you ask a question, it's a one-shot solution.

You can find an article close to the first question of the topical person at the following URL.

Also, （ article close to the second question ） regarding the treatment of repeated entries and exits for a period of six months or less is available at the following URL.
https://www.us-lighthouse.com/life/visa/imincolumn_071621.html
Both are expert comments and can be trusted.
In my opinion, since you are Japanese, there should be no restrictions on working in Japan during your temporary return. However, you will need to include your income in Japan in your U.S. tax return. In addition, if you need to pay taxes in Japan （, you may be able to apply for a credit in the U.S. ） in this case, so we recommend that you consult with a tax accountant ／ in both Japan and the U.S. for more details.
