I am currently married to a US citizen and am applying for a green card.
I heard that if I get a green card, it will be valid for 2 years at first, but is it possible to apply for a green card for my family members by sponsoring them to come here with that green card ?
I would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Hello.
I am a green card holder.
I read here once that a green card holder husband ( who has lived in Hawaii or mainland US for decades and has a house )
is waiting several years to bring his wife who lives in Japan.
He can't bring his family over with Temporary card yet, but he will be able to
smoothly after he gets his citizenship.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If you look up "Can conditional green card holder support family immigration?" you will find a lot of things.
A quick look shows that children can, but not parents.
For your information.

After a little more research, it seems that the only difference between a conditional GC and a regular GC is basically the expiration date. It seems that
GC holders can only call in their spouses and unmarried children ( unmarried adults ・ adults ).

Thank you all.
By the way, is it possible to apply for citizenship about 3 years after getting a temporary green card ?
I heard that it would be faster to bring my family over after citizenship.
I would appreciate your opinion.

I have heard that you can take the test for citizenship 5 years after you receive your real green card, not a temporary one.

In my opinion, it is better not to lose your Japanese passport in case you want to return to Japan completely after you get citizenship
I know people who regret after getting citizenship ?
.
They may spend their retirement in Hawaii or Japan. I think there are about the same number of each.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Once you take citizenship, your Japanese passport is legally invalid. In fact, it is sometimes possible to use it, so there seem to be quite a few people who misunderstand this.
If you want to return to Japan permanently after taking citizenship, you can apply for a permanent resident card by submitting an "Application for Permanent Resident Status 1" to the Immigration and Residency Management Agency under the "Child of Japanese National" category after entering Japan. This procedure is much easier than the naturalization process, and you can apply by yourself without relying on a specialist.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Please share your actual experiences and opinions.
I am currently applying for a green card by marriage.
I have a son and my son is now 19 years old.
My son lives in Japan.
① As soon as I receive my green card,
I will support and apply for my son's green card
② I heard that I am eligible for citizenship in 3 years if I get my green card by marriage.
Which do you think will result in a quicker outcome ?
Also, can I come to the US with Esta while applying for a green card while living in Japan ??
I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion as far as you know about the above. Thank you very much.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Family members of green card holders may apply for F2A visas ( spouses and unmarried children under 21 ) or F2B visas ( unmarried children over 21 ) depending on their relationship. Each of these visas falls under the second preference quota and is subject to an annual quota limit, so there may be a waiting period when you apply.
You should definitely consult an immigration attorney.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

poppy's advice is appropriate, but
I would wait a few years until you receive a real green card
not a temporary one as a step. You will receive your temporary green card first
because they suspect you are married for family immigration purposes.
You need to check with an immigration lawyer how many years you have to wait for the real green card to arrive.
The reason they take this step is because
international marriages are often divorced.
When the woman, now in her 70s, got married internationally,
there was no Temporary Green Card.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

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.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

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? ?
