Depart Tokyo for NY to visit the half side of family tree. We got stopped at the immigration because of her US passport. They said it doesn't prove her Japanese nationality, and doesn't have visa nor entry permit (she was born in Japan). Had to show other semi IDs but those don't say she's a Japanese. They said they assumed I wouldn't lie about her nationality, therefore, they stamped entry and departure on the same page. Good grief... Have to get her Japanese passport for next time.
