I am also a Delta guy, but I took the May flight on JAL.
Honolulu → Haneda → Nagoya for regional flights.
Now it says that if the flight is cancelled, there is no change or difference if the flight is until November.
#Jarjaru, in your case, the free period must have passed ？

However, since I bought my ticket in February, I experienced 4 changes due to cancellations 😅
I called for about 3 hours and could not get through, and if I wanted to cancel, I could do it online. The first two times I cancelled and re-purchased because the price didn't change, and the third and fourth times I called for 2 hours and they changed the ticket.
The JAL person who handled my case was very courteous, and I was interested in her low attitude, even though it was not her fault that the flight was cancelled.

Hawaiian is slow to announce cancellations.
Currently, they only have the flight status until 5/31. I wish you a safe trip back home.

You will not be charged a change fee, but you will be charged the difference between the flight you are changing. I checked with JAL before purchasing my ticket, and they replied that if the flight is cancelled due to the airline's reasons, the difference between the flight and the one being changed will not be charged, but it was. I heard that depending on the time of year, day of the week, etc., that benefit may not apply … or something. Still, my family was better off, and my friend's family, who had already purchased Premier Economy, had to choose between flying via Mainland on a flight with Premier Economy or paying the downgrade penalty and flying direct in regular economy, because there were no Premier Economy seats available on the flight they were changing to. I had to pay both the downgrade penalty and the difference between the flight and the one I was changing to. Because of this, I plan to avoid using JAL as much as possible for the time being.

JAL mileage can be transferred to Zipair, so I transferred it to Zip. It seems you can use it to pay for in-flight shopping, food and drink, etc.

sean0914, thank you for your message. My final destination is Nagoya too, but I decided to fly to/from Tokyo because I was a bit worried about the transfer time at Haneda or Narita, and also because I wanted to see my siblings and family who live in Tokyo. I would be most happy if Delta would bring back the Nagoya flight, but I imagine that after the Tokyo flight is restored in October, they will look at the number of passengers and decide whether to reopen the Nagoya flight or not. I see that everyone is having a hard time contacting JAL. The people who answer the phone must be very busy. If I could get through to them, I would thank them.

Have a nice trip back home, sean0914.

Thank you, Jarjaru, for the additional information. It is worrisome as a consumer that when the time comes to make a change, the rule is not applicable, etc., etc., etc.
Also, the penalty for downgrading and paying the difference for the changed flight, that is really a crying shame.

Also, thanks for the information that JAL mileage can be transferred to ZipAir.
I will look into it.
As for other means, I heard that 8,000 miles can be converted to $ 40 gift cards to CVS, Burger King, HomeDepot, etc.
The conversion rate is poor, but I'm thinking gift cards would be nice for JAL mileage that is almost never used. I'd like to try it.

JAL's fuel surcharge will be 23,600 yen/one way from June ticketing.
Currently it is 12,700 yen/one way, which is high enough, but it is double that.
If you change your reservation in June, you will also be charged the difference in surcharge.
That's roughly $ 90/one way. Anyway, I hope things go as planned.

It depends on the type of medicine. It can range from "it wasn't a big deal" to "this is … something that no one mentioned.
Some stay in the place where they do the clinical trial, in the form of hospitalization, and some are taken at home. I don't think they will force you to do it, but you should ask if you can retire during the process.

Since Japanese clinical trials are required for approval in Japan, the drug itself is almost always approved in the U.S.
You must first pass a medical examination before you can undergo a clinical trial.
The higher the risk and side effects, the higher the reward.
You will be asked to sign a waiver before you take the trial because there is no way to be absolutely sure that there are no possible side effects.
If you get sick or scared and want to quit, you can stop on the spot … In that case, you will usually be paid for your stay.
The staff is on site 24 hours a day and will check your temperature, blood pressure, and anything else that is wrong with you several times a day, so if there is anything wrong, they will take action and may stop the trial.

Clinical trials may not sound as good as it sounds, but in Japan, clinical trials for new drugs are also conducted. But the rewards are not as good as here. It's just a feeling.

I think it's not so bad because you are in the hospital for a set period of time, you are free to live in the facility except when you go home, you get 3 meals and snacks, Wi-Fi, sleep as much as you want, and get paid.

If you are interested, why don't you just go and talk to them ？ I think they paid for the medical examination alone. There are Japanese speaking staffs, so if you have any questions, you can ask them until you are convinced.

It is easy and highly rewarding, so there is a risk, but it is your own responsibility.

By the way, in a clinical trial, there are people who are actually given drugs and people who are given placebos, so you are lucky if you get one without drugs in it.

I also cook with a small amount of water.
If you don't want to add water, then you can use 4 chopsticks (or chopsticks) to stir the rice and it will break apart easier than 2 chopsticks.
I prefer water because it's easy and doesn't contaminate extra utensils.

I think I'm just writing about how not to do that because someone wrote that it clumps and is hard to use. ↑

I didn't know about using water, so I'll give it a try. It looks good to get rid of excess oil. I don't think the organic ground beef in Costco pouches that come in two pieces do not clump together. I'm not sure what you mean by clumping, but I fry it with a spatula, cutting it up a lot 😂.

Mr. Fitting

Yes... It takes a lot of effort to fry it like cutting/mashing.
I have to use 4 chopsticks, so adding a small amount of water is my standard cooking method. In addition to greatly reducing the amount of labor, it is possible to fry the fish without using any utensils and chopsticks, making the workload much lighter.

＞ I have a total of just under $5000 in income from private work I did last year.

I am a so called Independent Contractor and not a company employee.

＞ My employer obtained an EIN number for my tax return and issued it to me
I filed a tax return with the W2 I received

My employer has been trying to get the form to send to the IRS to take effect this year. Your employer filed an EIN
this year in order to activate the form to submit to the IRS.

＞ The EIN number came back rejected because it was issued after this year.

I think that means I don't have an EIN at the time of employment or contract, so
since I did not apply for an EIN number this year at the time of employment,
payment for this year's work will be for income in 2022, the IRS data will show 2021 I think that means it is not treated as
income for the year 2021.

＞ I don't know how to resolve this as there is nothing to correct.

＄ ， I got 5 000 last year, and I think the job （ is probably a Baby Sitter type job
but if it is a ） payment, I do not need an IRS form.
If you treat it as a sole proprietorship on Schedule C, there should be no problem.

＞ If it was rejected by electronic filing,
＞ you can send the print out to the IRS. I am not sure if this is correct or not.

Reject means that the form was not accepted because it is different from the IRS data, so
you can e-file the form again
without using the form （ or the EIN number ） on the form, and it will be accepted. again and it will be accepted.
I think it is better not to file by Paper
because it will complicate matters.

However, since we do not know the actual contents of the form （ W － 2 ） etc., we cannot guarantee
that the above is correct. If you need to
check the contents of this message urgently, please send an e-mail to
the e-mail address in the message.

If you are filing as a sole proprietorship, you will be paid and will be penalized
after April 18.

Look closely at the W-2 form.　Box a is the SS number.　You cannot put an EIN here. So, the W-2 itself is wrong.

I think you put EIN in Schedule C of tax return, but Schedule C has 1099 as income and W-2 cannot be adjusted.　

You should ask the person who issued the W-2 to correct the W-2, （ cancel ） and issue a 1099-NEC with the SS number, or report it as Other Income on Schedule C without a 1099.　 （ In that case, do not put the EIN on Schedule C ）.

#76 Tax Return Today 16:34
Tax man,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. You are absolutely right, I was just reporting my income from babysitting last year. My employer was very considerate and requested that I file a W-2 instead of a 1099, but due to the date I got my EIN, I am now in the situation I am in now. I would like to switch to Schedule C and file again, but I am worried that it will cause problems for my employer who has already completed the tax return.

Recently, I feel that the atmosphere of BibiNavi has lost its old atmosphere of a place where Japanese people who are trying their best to help each other in the U.S. and there are many slanderous comments. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much.

If it's a W2, they should have done it with a SSN from the beginning, so I don't understand why the EIN comes up.

As far as I know,

you go to the immigration line and get in the US Citizen and Legal Alien line,

when your number comes up you go to the kiosk terminal and have your Japanese passport and green card image

and your picture taken. and your picture, take the slip with your picture from the terminal

to the inspector and give him the three items, he will say "Wellcome Back to the United States"

return your passport and G-card, and that should be it.


I don't know if anything has changed since Corona.
