Postal conditions from Japan to the U.S.

The previous topic is gone, so I will start a new one and ask.

From last year to the first few months of this year, I was able to send a sealed letter from Japan to Southern CA by regular mail for 110 yen.
However, for a while after that, the arrival was terribly slow.
So I looked into it and found that using international EMS would be faster, so I did that.
Recently, however, I sent a letter to Southern CA again by international EMS, and it was untraceable until it left LA customs ！
It has been missing for over a month now ！ ！

Meanwhile, a letter sent by regular mail to the East Coast on the other hand, the one I sent by regular mail to the east coast took about two weeks to arrive.
I was upset because it was an important document and I had to contact them several times.
It was a public document and the agency did not accept emails ….

After all, is the postal situation in Southern CA （ especially to LA jurisdiction ） bad ？
At any rate, I think regular mail to the East Coast will arrive, even if it takes longer.
I thought I would ask because I was worried that the sealed letter I sent out yesterday would arrive in two weeks.

It is common sense to use DHL,UPS for important documents
because it has always been the case that mail goes missing when using JP → US post office
avoid especially at the end of the year
give up!

I asked for important and urgent documents by UPS
I could send them urgently and they were delivered in 2 days from US to Japan. ＄ 100 charge but with military descount ＄ 85.

Where they convert from VHS videotape to digital media.

I have about 40 old VHS video tapes. They are already in the way, but I can't throw them away because they record my children's childhood. Do you know of anywhere that will convert them to a digital medium at a reasonable price?
I don't want to do it myself 💦 I don't have time and it's a hassle 。。。。
But I don't want to take it to a very expensive place either. 、、、、 If anyone knows of a cheap place ？ to do it, please let me know.
I'm looking for a place that will make a USB file for me.

I checked Amazon for VHS to DVD or Digital Converter and found $ 20~ $ about 40.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=DriverGenius+vdc2021+vhs&crid=1M09YJOAGKD1L&sprefix=drivergenius+vdc2021+vhs+%2Caps%2C208&ref=nb_sb_noss

If you have a VHS or other player, just connect it to your computer with a converter.

Converting 120 videos would take 240 hours at 2 hours per video, so it would be impossible for busy people.
If you are a small person living on a pension, it would take a year to convert using a converter. Enjoy the reproduced images.

Converting 120 videos is a lot of money, so it's none of my business, but
I just had to interject.　I apologize.

The one you introduced is an HDMI output, so it cannot be connected to a PC.


The following USB output would be possible.

Please take a closer look. There are five USB-compatible models listed on the URL page I referred you to.
They are the same kind as the one you introduced. The cheapest price is $ 13.99.

My apologies. I only had a quick look.

Like everyone else, I was wondering what to do with the 10 or so VHS I have.
The VCR I had kept instead of throwing it away seemed to work fine, and I was grateful to Panasonic for that.
After checking there, I ordered the above.

I will report on its usability soon.

I received the above.

When I RUN the software, I was asked to enter the product key.
The attached manual says it is written on the case that the CD is in, but the case is a paper case and there is no such thing written anywhere.
And it looks like it was a returned item. The overall rating is 4, so I thought it wasn't bad, but it was a disappointment.

I returned it.

By the way, there is a return location option, but when I chose Whole Foods, I could not proceed, but when I chose kohl's, I was able to.

Green card renewal （ during ） return to Japan

Question

  • 2022/12/04 11:04

I am about to renew my green card, but at any rate, the last time was 10 years ago, so I don't remember anything. I am worried that if I make a mistake, it will be a hassle.
First of all, how do I basically renew it myself ？ And I am sure it will take an unbelievable amount of time to get it in my hands, but I will definitely go to Japan during the renewal process. Or there may be an emergency return to Japan in case of emergency.
Can I go out of the U.S. and come back while renewing ？ or do I have to go through some procedures ？

How to renew by myself.
Can I apply for a special application to leave and return outside the US at the same time of renewal ？ If so, how ？

Anyone who can help me, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

It is best to carry both a permit and an expired green card.
In case you are wondering, I asked my lawyer for safety. I applied last September and still
have not received my new card.

Dear Yas
You are right about expired cards and permits. It seems like a small thing, but it is a very good idea to avoid trouble.
Thank you very much.

I renewed my 10 year last September, 6 months before the expiration date.
I received a letter saying no fingerprints and biometrics, and that I would use the 10 year old one but no refund.
I received my green card 6 days after the renewal date.
It was so fast that I suspected it was a fake.
I was wondering if I will be able to use the 10 year old photo for another 10 years ？ ？ ？

I heard it will take more than a year for those who applied this year.
I heard that those who have passed the one year have received a one year extension letter.

Where do you order Photo Cards ？?

Question

I know many people send family photos as cards this time of year, but where do you order your cards ？
I ordered mine from Walgreens and received an email with a Redy for pick up, but the store said they had no information about my order. I asked several times, but eventually I did the refund myself. I had ordered a different design, and that one arrived, but it wasn't enough, so I had to order more.
I have a similar experience with Longs.
