I assume the children are USC's so they could come with him and the wife hang with her mother if needed.

Lots of options, when approached with an open mind.

my wife and her mother dont get along well and she doesn't believe my wife should be taking medicine for her bipolar disorder.  they start fighting after a couple days together.  Her mother is also taking care of grandmother in a small 1 bedroom apartment.  My wife gets severe allergies if she stays more than a couple days there.

Sounds like you need a Plan B then if staying with her Mother is not an option.

So, you support them in their own place.  At some point, you'll be forced to accept the realities of the situation.  Up to you whether you deal with them or not.

Such as?

 

wife stays with mother?

my wife and her mother dont get along well and she doesn't believe my wife should be taking medicine for her bipolar disorder.  they start fighting after a couple days together.  Her mother is also taking care of grandmother in a small 1 bedroom apartment.  My wife gets severe allergies if she stays more than a couple days there. 

 

I move to the US?

there is no guarantee I quickly get a job in the US.   there is no way I can pay for my rent in the US, and my wifes rent in Japan.  The cost of health insurance, care insurance, is much higher in the US.  I would also have to buy a car and make payments.

 

stay with family?

my family still requires me to pay rent.  though they have mentioned that I dont have to pay utilities. 

 

Apply for jobs in the US now?

I have been.  of all the applications ive sent out i have had 0 replies. 

 

Stay in Japan?

I will be out of a job, and it is very unlikely that I can find a new one before my wife gets a visa.

thats what im trying to figure out. 

 

just moving to a new apartment here will cost about $2K, even more if we have to use a moving company.

 

Ive been applying for jobs here, and in America but have had no luck so far.

These are all life issues, not Immigration.

 

All the Supermarkets etc around me are hiring  now if you are not here, you can not start for an unknown period well you have your answer.

the issue comes with not being able to bring my wife with me. 

 

If I cant bring my wife then I have to pay for 2 rents, and the cost of living for me and my wife. 

 

would I be able to do this on a supermarket salary?

 

If I can bring my wife, then I only have to pay 1 rent, and the cost of living is shared. that is much easier to do on a supermarket salary.  I would be using some savings, but It would be temporary until I found a better job.

 

Plus Id be moving to California, and the cost of living there is high. 

[Boiler 45,449]

So the same as most people on here.

one of my friends owns a company.  but its not in my field, and Id be looking for a new job as soon as i arrived in the US

1. Use points 1-4 from your ordinal list…they focus on the imminent loss of job/income and by extension ability to pay for housing in Japan. 

2. Have your friend write up a job offer ..start date to be where your current contract and lease ends..but even if you cannot secure a job/any job offer.,show your family will help by HOUSING you and your family upon return.

3. Argue your wife’s medical condition requires you to be with her as emotional support and you need your wife to care for the children so you may work

 

You have prepared well enough to give it a shot..***Simply present your case as urgent because you will LOSE your job, lose your housing and are without support in Japan for you and USC kids. 
You need your wife so she can care for the children and you can work in US…stress you will be jobless and homeless *****

Sorry don’t do a cost comparison analysis…

Yes, he can make the argument while preparing for contingencies.  Certainly worth trying.  Rather than an expedite, if nothing is filed yet, I would make the argument to the Consulate for Direct Consular filing due to special circumstances.  That would be faster than an expedite.

Not an option, filed approximately 6 months ago, per post. He does have a good chance

How about sharing a room with a roommate in the US while you're trying to get a solid job that will pay well?

 

Why not move stuff yourself instead of spending on movers?

 

Your questions are not immigration related, they're life related...
