The Japanese sentence would be better with : 日本に来て以来、アメリカに帰国してません and keeps the same meaning ( Since I came to Japan, I haven't returned to the US).

There is a very similar grammar point related to this one and used in the very same way:

てこのかた.(新完全マスターN2、3課) and here.


Maybe an addition? I couldn't found it here on renshuu.

Could it be that the marked up part in the 3. example sentence is wrong? The sentence is: そのチームは最初の優勝以来、負けた事がない, so shouldn't 優勝以来 be the highlighted part? But (at least at the moment) I see その as the green marked part, that is used to highlight the structure.
