Green card renewal （ during ） return to Japan

Question

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.

It is best to carry both a permit and an expired green card.
In case you are wondering, I asked my lawyer for safety. I applied last September and still
have not received my new card.

Dear Yas
You are right about expired cards and permits. It seems like a small thing, but it is a very good idea to avoid trouble.
Thank you very much.

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.

Where do you order Photo Cards ？?

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.
I have a similar experience with Longs.

I ordered my first photo card this year and decided to go with Shutterfly. I compared many different sites and found a design I liked on Shutterfly. After placing the order, I was able to check the status every step of the way on My Page, and after the order was completed, it was delivered to my home, so I think there is less worry about supplier mistakes like Photo experienced. The finished product was also quite good.

Since you are in the U.S., I
don't think you can watch games from other countries such as Japan.

I think it is better to watch the games in your own home on the Internet or something
like that.

Or you should ask your friends.

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

Free talk

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.

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.

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.

Adverse reactions to the latest Ba45-compliant vaccines

Problem / Need advice

I will be going to Japan for the New Year's holiday, and I am considering getting the third vaccination to avoid the 72-hour pre-boarding inspection.

My family members who are accompanying me have no intention of getting the third dose and will be tested before boarding.

To be honest, I am also afraid of the third vaccination, but since I am planning to go to the city, I am now considering the third one at this opportunity. For those who have received the latest Ba45-compliant vaccine, how were the adverse reactions after the vaccination?

I have a choice between Pfizer or Moderna, but both of my first two were Pfizer and I am considering Pfizer again for the third dose.

Mr. Scared of Adverse Reactions

There are vaccine lawsuits all over the world right now.
Look it up. You will find many.

Even though you have corona, you are fine now.
If you are still in the hospital, I understand your fear.
Corona is a disease that the media has created anxiety about.
Please wake up.

Japan News.

105 people have died in Kanagawa prefecture after vaccination.

It doesn't make sense if you are supposed to prevent corona infection but you die.

I am not a doctor or a nurse, but I think that if you raise your immunity without vaccination, you will not get corona infection.

Protect yourself.

I am afraid of vaccines. When I look up ways to boost my immune system on the Internet, all I can find are things that I usually try to do, such as moderate exercise, avoiding stress, and maintaining a good intestinal environment, but if there is anything else I can do to boost my immune system that would help prevent corona infection, please let me know. I definitely do not want to get infected before or after I go to Japan.

Mr. Afraid of Adverse Reactions

There is no corona only in Japan. There are coronas all over the world. ？

In Japan, as in Hawaii, everyone is fine even if infected.
If you are worried about getting seriously ill and having to be put on a respirator, get a good overseas insurance policy.

By the way, if you are that scared,
your immune system will be in a slump.

To eliminate your fear, find out how corona is not a scary disease.
That is the best solution.

The reports in the Japanese News that people have died after being vaccinated seem to be false. It seems that they did not submit
documents to prove that the person died. So, it seems to be questionable.

Also, the vaccination is 5 times, 2 times and 2 times as usual booster, and the bivalent vaccine of Ba4 and 5 to the usual vaccine.

I'm not going to tell you what to do with the vaccine here, just be scared right with Covid. Don't be so careless
about it.

Please be rightly afraid of Covid. Don't think of it as a frivolous infection.

In reality, in TX, a person was not vaccinated, got infected, and ended up in the ICU. And the doctor begged him to get the vaccine
but he was told by the doctor that if he was infected, he could not get the vaccine. Please get well soon.
He seemed to calm the patient, but then he passed away.

It is up to you whether to vaccinate or not.

I have been vaccinated.

I would like to know if you or someone you know teaches Kumu at a Halau in Hawaii.
I would like to find a Kumu that is local and quiet rather than a famous Halau.
I would like to learn hula when I visit Hawaii a few times a year.
Thank you very much.

I am a Hawaii resident, but due to health reasons of a family member living in Japan,
I have to return to Japan for two weeks on short notice.
I booked a Hawaiian flight on short notice
Do I need anything now to enter Japan ？
When I returned home in the summer, I did MySOS plus 72 hour pre-departure inspection etc.
I wonder if this is still the case
I would like to know if there is anyone who is returning to Japan in the near future. Of course, I have done my own research, but I would like to be able to return to my home country with confidence and without anxiety.
Thank you very much!

Now you can register for fast track and other things at visit Japan web, and get QR code, but mysos will also be available until mid-January.
https://vjw-lp.digital.go.jp/
You can also register for customs declaration at vjw, but if you can get a form on board for customs declaration, paper is faster.
If you have already had the third round of vaccines, you do not need a negative certificate. If not, you will need a
negative certificate within 72 hours.
