As I said before, you definitely can ask for a "shore pass" to enter the Japan for temporary at the passport section. Since you are a LPR and you will have better chances to get the pass.

Ok thanks

I believe your friend has never been to Japan.

She went to Japan that's why she told me. and after 72 hours of staying in japan she went back home and get a visa to stay a little bit longer.

*** two topics on the same issue merged. PLease do not start more than one topic on a question/ issue. ****

It's kinda similar but the first one was going out and stay in the hotel outside the airport while the new post is staying in the airport while waiting for my next flight the next.

Can I just stay in the airport while waiting for our next flight?

You can try to get the "shore visa" when you are passing through the passport process in Japan later. I have tried a few times last time!

Hello VJ.

I am going back to my country (Philippines) next week

and I have a 23 hours lay over in Japan I was gonna get a

Japan visa to get out the airport but everything was too late

since they procees my visa and it takes 4 days to process it.

My question is can I just stay in the airport while waiting for my next flight?

does the airport close overnight?

I dont want our vacation to be ruin. me PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot VJ friends!

Thank you so much with all your help friends!!!!

this is a warn for me not to leave the airport without a

visa. Thanks a lot

It happened to me before. All you can do is file the form for replacement and then you'll get it. It won't take that long just make sure it mail to the right address.

Goodluck.

Thank you guys so much for the help, and sorry will turn of the caps lol.

My friend told me that I can stay in Japan for just 72 hours without a visa but if I stay longer than that then I have to get a visa. Dang it!we already pay the hotel.

All correct. The OP has a one-day layover, which is going to be a problem if it includes an overnight stay. (I assume the flight is connecting at Narita.) There's no transit hotel (as in Singapore) or anywhere else to stay in the pre-immigration area overnight, unless something there has changed VERY recently.

Thanks JKelly07... I posted this topic to make sure everything is fine for our coming vacation.

This made me confused cuz my friend told me that I can go out the coutry cuz I am a permanent resident card holder of the USA and I am with my hubby too.

All you need is a proof of residency if you are not an international students, and a transcript in college since you were attend a college class. I just asked the school few days ago. As far as I knew thats all they want but sometimes it will matter in which school you go to.

Hope you'll get more info regarding this matter.

Have a great day!

The question isn't about the travel though, it is about a stop over in Japan. That is governed by citizenship, not residency, so if a Philipino citizen needs a tourist visa to visit Japan, she will need one.

**** Moving from Waivers to Travelling During US Immigration ****

if you are a LPR permanent resident, then you can traval internationaly with no problem,just be sure that the name on the ticket matches the passport name,

Oh no! my tickets and my passport are different last name.

Hello VJ

We are going back home this coming march 20 in the Philippines

and we have one day lay over in Japan my hubby want to go

out and see the beauty of Japan. Can I go out with him? I

am not a US citzen yet but I am a green card holder.

What are the documents that I need to bring for me to be able to

go out with out any hindrance in going back to the airport after our lay over?

Thanks

hello there VJ members..

Good news...Visa On Hand..I am so happy right now:))

Congrats!!!!

Thanks...

She didn't marry that guy yet she was just asking me a questions what if... what if.

I don't have any idea about this situation. It was her cousin who tried to introduce them.

No it's friend that her cousin she introduce them, and she don't know what to do so she ask.

Thank you. I understand completely and will advise my friend. I'm from the U.S., and don't know the immagration laws well.

Unfortunate, I'm sorry for her loss.

However, this is immigration with pretty understandable rules. To eliminate visa fraud(amongst other factors), a foreign fiance(e) can't just adjust status based on any marriage. It has to be to the original petitioner. The AOS will be denied. Had they gotten married it would be a different thing although I couldn't see the point of staying in the US after been here less than 90 days, not married and found another man. What's the timeline for this? I've been here for way longer and still would want to hit-the-road-jack if that happened to me. I'm sorry, it's not being judgmental towards your friend. It's a point of view seen with USCIS goggles on.

First prayers for your friend with the passing of her fiance.

She must not overstay her K-1 (90 day limit) otherwise she risks future denials and problems. She needs to return home within the time limit. The K-1 is NOT transferable regardless of the circumstances.

Thank You

She has been suffering from grief and then has met another. Sometimes grieving people bond. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but if in this darkness she found some good then I hope for the best for them. God Bless

Well, thats amazing. The K-1 Visa is good for 90 days. Now he past away, but yet she finds another. That did'nt take long.

She will have to return since that Visa is Void. Did she get married? This is why USCIS puts the honest people on waiting lists.
