Green Card Holder working in Japan, want to get a reentry permit, but if I go to the US to get it I won't be able to enter Japan and may loose my Job
Hello there I have a big issue,
So I started working in Japan in April, ( was previously a student) and my plan was to come back to the US get a re try permit and work in Japan , but because of COVID the Japan border was closed and if I wish to go back to the US to get my reentry permit I won't be able to come back to Japan and may be out of a job. I know if I let 12 months pass I may loose my green card.
I have been waiting for Japan to reopen it's borders so I can safely go to the US, get my permit and come back. I've also been waiting mainly because it's strongly advices not to travel between countries.
But seeing the way the cases aren't slowing down I'm not sure that's gonna happen any time soon.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to get the permit without having to get physically back in the US?
Is there any way that I can keep my resident status after 12 months, like a new law gets established that forgives the 12 months because of the COVID situation?
Thanks for any advice
