Consular processing in Japan
Hi guys,
I'm really hoping to get the answer of my problem here.
I'm Indonesian but also have a citizenship in Japan (from my grandfather) and currently living in the U.S right now since June 2016 with a tourist visa where it's already expired in Dec 2nd.
Anyway my husband is a US citizen, after got married since June 2016, my husband and I have applied for the adjustment status in Oct 2016 with other forms, unfortunately after the 2nd time we're about to received our package from the USCIS, it lost in mail.
I've talked to many immigration officers and no one could basically help us out, until I decided to hire a lawyer to figure out what to do with my paperwork.
Also, I need to return to Japan due my entrypermit which going to be expired in June 2nd or I will lose my citizhenship in Japan.

At this point,
my lawyer told me to choose between GC or Japan. I wish I could apply for the AP but I don't know if my case is consider to be legal.
or should I just leave the country and coming back after few months later ?
Or should I do the consular processing ?
I heard, if you overstayed in the US less than 180 days, you still can go abroad and come back after few months. But I'm not sure if the custom will let back in since they'll see my track record was overstaying in the U.S. However, I just can't lose my resident in Japan due the long term plan in the future.

Much appreciate!
