U.S. lawful permanent residents use a Permanent Resident Card/Form I-551 or equivalent temporary I-551 documentation to return to the United States, including the Northern Mariana Islands. This is not short visitor status, so a tourist visa-waiver day limit does not apply; the traveler must maintain LPR status and meet re-entry document requirements.

This is not a third-country visa waiver; the held U.S. visa is the entry document. Travelers holding a valid applicable U.S. visa, such as B-1/B-2, may enter the Northern Mariana Islands according to the visa class and the period granted by CBP on admission/I-94; the stay period is determined at entry. PRC passport holders with 10-year B visas must also comply with U.S. EVUS rules.

Common questions
Yes. With a valid applicable U.S. visa, the traveler may seek admission to the Northern Mariana Islands under that visa class; the admitted stay is decided by CBP at entry. Without a U.S. visa, PRC ordinary passport holders also have a Northern-Mariana-Islands-only 14-day visa-free/electronic-authorization route.
Yes, but only for the Northern Mariana Islands, up to 14 days, and CBP electronic travel authorization/EVS-TAP is required.
Usually no. Hong Kong SAR passport holders may use the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program for up to 45 days, but the sourced rule states that a Hong Kong identity card and G-CNMI ETA are required.
Japan is a U.S. VWP country, so ESTA normally allows up to 90 days under the U.S. VWP. Japan is also listed in the Guam-CNMI program, where the G-CNMI ETA route is generally up to 45 days and does not permit travel to other parts of the United States.
No, it is not a U.S. entry visa waiver. The United States is a transitional ABTC member; ABTC mainly provides fast-lane or appointment facilitation, while travelers must still meet normal U.S. visa, ESTA, or Guam-CNMI electronic authorization requirements.
