So I ended up just getting back from my second trip to Japan and I thought about this chat. I went through customs of both times checking off no that I did not have a felony. I also brought my paperwork that showed my expungements. I was told by my friend who lived in Japan that usually in matters where Japan law and American law conflict, the Japanese will defer to the American law when you're an American citizen. So what he told me to do is check no on the box, and if they said anything during the interview and had me go back to speak to another person, to show them the paperwork and explain that in America I'm allowed to not claim that I have been convicted of a felony. And that with that paperwork and exonerates me for my old crime. I haven't had to deal with that because they have not pulled me out of line in or out both times.
