1. Can be preceded by a noun phrase:
  10のクラス
2. Can be preceded by あれ・それ (あれ・それ) since that time. あれ is used when the speaker assumes that the hearer knows what s/he is referring to
3. Can't be used when talking about the very recent past (this morning, yesterday etc)

The Japanese sentence would be better with : 、アメリカにしてません 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.(マスターN2、3) 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: そのチームはけたがない, so shouldn't 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.
