I married a Japanese permanent resident and applied for permanent residence and it will be 2 years next February.
A Japanese lawyer told me that it takes an average of 1.5 years, not 2 years 。 but if anyone is in a similar situation or knows more details about the process of obtaining permanent residence, I would appreciate any information!This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I think the situation will change depending on whether you are applying from Japan or within the U.S.
I think it would be easier to comment if you had a brief current progress report.
The link below is to a green card applicant forum.

Then the procedure is in two stages, I-130 (petition) and I-485 (permanent resident application )).
If next February will be 2 years, then
the I-130 has already been accepted and you are waiting for the I-485 interview?
Currently, the waiting time for I-485 in Honolulu is
24.5 months and 80% processed, right?
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
If I understand correctly, if you are married to a green card holder, the I-485 should be filed after the
I-130 is accepted.
Based on the information above, 80% of people are processed in about 2 years from the date the I-485 is filed.
If next February is two years from the filing of the I-485, then the goal may be close.
Conversely, if the two years includes the I-130 processing period, we may wait another year or so.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)

In that case, the I-485 is not processed in the US, but through the US Embassy

Yes, once the I-130 is approved by USCIS, the case is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) at the Department of State, where the NVC coordinates the schedule with the U.S. Embassy in Japan, and after an interview at the Embassy, the immigrant visa is issued. Once it is confirmed that you entered the U.S. on that immigrant visa, a green card will be sent to your registered address after you enter the country.
The immigrant visa application form is the DS-260, and once NVC processes Aoi's case, it will begin the process of paying the application fee and processing the DS-260. Please refer to the following links for more information.
Back to the main topic, the processing time is
USCIS reviews the I-130,
NVC reviews the case,
DS-260 application to interview,
and the processing speed depends on how busy each department is. The speed will vary depending on the busyness of each department.
It would be easier to compare your time with others if we know where you are in this process.

A woman of that age is sure to be particular and
have a certain amount of everything.
If you think about the possibility of returning or exchanging what you sent
(in the US, after Christmas, people line up to return or exchange their gifts)
Why not just send a gift card of your favorite brand with some chocolates ?
$? From 100 to $ 300, that would be more appreciated.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 don't spend much time or money changing the oil in my car as it is a standard compact car.
If you inquire before you go, many places will raise the price abnormally or won't do it unless you leave your car with them.
Some of you who have been there in the last few months were able to get your oil changed immediately without leaving your car. Please let us know your recommendations.

There is free coffee in the waiting room.
But the price has gone up a gazillion dollars, it used to be less than $40, but this time it was almost $60.

Green card renewal ( during ) return to Japan

- 2022/12/04 09:04
I am about to renew my green card, but at any rate, the last time was 10 years ago, so I don't remember anything. I am worried that if I make a mistake, it will be a hassle.
First of all, how do I basically renew it myself ? And I am sure it will take an unbelievable amount of time to get it in my hands, but I will definitely go to Japan during the renewal process. Or there may be an emergency return to Japan in case of emergency.
Can I go out of the U.S. and come back while renewing ? or do I have to go through some procedures ?
How to renew by myself.
Can I apply for a special application to leave and return outside the US at the same time of renewal ? If so, how ?
Anyone who can help me, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.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)

I renewed my 10 year last September, 6 months before the expiration date.
I received a letter saying no fingerprints and biometrics, and that I would use the 10 year old one but no refund.
I received my green card 6 days after the renewal date.
It was so fast that I suspected it was a fake.
I was wondering if I will be able to use the 10 year old photo for another 10 years ? ? ?
I heard it will take more than a year for those who applied this year.
I heard that those who have passed the one year have received a one year extension letter.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)

I know many people send family photos as cards this time of year, but where do you order your cards ?
I ordered mine from Walgreens and received an email with a Redy for pick up, but the store said they had no information about my order. I asked several times, but eventually I did the refund myself. I had ordered a different design, and that one arrived, but it wasn't enough, so I had to order more.

Japanese waitress working in Hawaii: "1 million yen/month" working only in the morning a few days a week
- #1

- miki
- 2022/11/22 07:18
I found an interesting article on the web.
The story goes ⇒ "Now Hawaii is short on staff, so hourly wages are going up and up. I am a waitress at a famous local restaurant and the tips are good because it is a popular restaurant. I earn about 1 million yen a month by working only a few hours in the morning and a few days a week. I also enjoy my hobby of surfing, which is great." ( Ms. Hashimoto )
I thought it was totally implausible. No matter how good the treatment is in Hawaii, where there is a shortage of labor, such a restaurant would not exist in par time.
Recently, I think there are more and more media outlets that introduce people to work abroad to earn high income, but many of them are false and unacceptable.
Do you think there is such a good restaurant in Hawaii with good treatment ?
If there is, please let us know.

I also read this article and wondered ? if it was true.
At face value of 1 million yen, that's about $7,000 a month at the current dollar-yen rate.
$500 a day for 14 days of work.
If I worked 4 hours a day, $125 an hour.
Since you would be earning almost exclusively in tips, you would handle breakfast at 20% of the cost of the meal, which is about $650 per hour.
If you are in Waikiki, you would handle 22 tables per hour at $30 per meal.
I wonder if it is possible ~ ?
But to begin with, it is difficult to get a work visa to work as a waiter.
Also, even if you are making this much money now, it is a job that is easily affected by the economy. ( But since you are a "migrant", it is probably only temporary ).
Also, since you would be responsible for your own health insurance, it would reduce your actual income.
And that's my lunch break musings.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)

No, 7,000 to 8,000 is good ? if it's 3 or 4 days a week
and 2 of those days are on weekends or during Sunday brunch.
Nowadays, there are more mainland tourists than Japanese tourists, so tipping is better.
Even if you have to pay for your own health insurance, at least 50% of it is covered by the company, and the place I worked at covered 100%
so it's not that hard.
In Waikiki, the hourly wage is high to begin with because of the labor shortage, and if it's plus tips, it's even more so.
I feel it's amazing because it's a million dollars, but I thought it was a normal story if you think about it in dollars.
By the way, a friend of mine works part time at a lunch box restaurant, not a restaurant,
and she said that the tip jar in front of the cash register is accumulating.
Plus those who pay by card charge it to their card, so "I can get 100+ tips in a restaurant like this"
she said.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)

Maybe that figure is due to the weak yen, but it's $ 7 , 000 per month.
In fact, it is impossible to spend that much on labor.
Tip included, but I don't
think they would pay that much for a wait person.
If the price per dish is going up, then the purchase price is also going up.
So I think $ 3 , 000 to $ 5 , 000 per month is possible.
The reality is, restaurants are hard to manage. I know there are restaurants
that close suddenly every month.
I want you to see the reality. So if you have this monthly income, it is
extremely rare.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)
