Hello.
For those who have applied for Global Entry, I think it comes with TSA Precheck, but the name （ last name ） on the green card and passport are different, can you take the ticket with the name on the passport and use TSA Precheck without problems

My passport is Hanako Yamada(Smith) and my green card is Hanako Smith.

I used to have no problem, but recently I read somewhere that the system has been unified, and if the names don't match exactly, Precheck will not be attached, and I was looking forward to being able to use it.

I would like to get information from those who have flown internationally in the recent past, whether they were able to use it or not.

When we got married in Japan, we originally planned to change our surname, but my husband's surname on his passport is JR, and the city office, which is not very flexible, insisted that they could not accept it unless it was the same as his passport, I had to decide whether to become a junior or keep my maiden name, and I decided to keep my maiden name. So, even if I changed my surname in Japan, it does not match my US ID （ green card or drivers license ）.

I am thinking of moving now and since it is a cold area, I will probably use the heater 24 hours a day in the winter.
My previous rooms had radiator type heaters, so it didn't affect my electric/gas bill, but I am wondering how much my electric bill would be if I lived in a room with a Baseboard Heater.
I googled and found it to be ＄ 500-1000 per month, and if it really costs that much, I am thinking of avoiding a room with a Baseboard Heater.
I would be happy to hear your experiences.

Hello. I entered the country previously on a tourist visa to meet my American boyfriend (now husband). My boyfriend became sick with an internal disease and while I was taking care of him, his visa expired and he overstayed. We later married in the U.S. and my husband is now healthy and he has a stable income. I have never worked in the US. I am applying for a green card, but I am paroling ？ because of my overstay and I think I will have to go back to the US Embassy in Japan for an interview.
I am quite anxious because Trump will be president for a period of time. I am worried that I will not be able to re-enter Japan ？ if I go back to Japan because of the alternative situation due to Trump being tough on immigrants.
I would appreciate your advice or anyone with similar experiences. Sorry for the rambling.

I have an insurance policy with state farm,
I would like to change from my current rep to another rep,
Has anyone changed ？
smoothly without any conflict ？
on the internet? I found a new person （ and told them I wanted to change directly to ） not the new person but the current person in charge
"Of course it is possible, but it would be like competing for customers, which is not very desirable." I was told.
The reason I want to change my contact person is because he/she seems more polite than my current contact person.
I don't want to get into trouble with my current contact person because she has been very helpful to me, but
I wonder if I will get into trouble if I change my contact person ？.

I will be staying at UC Berkeley for a year and am looking for a place to live alone.
I'm thinking of not only the Berkeley area, but also commuting by BART, so I'm considering places around El Cerrito del Norte, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, etc.
I'd love to know which areas are safe and recommended. I would appreciate it if you could tell me which areas are safe and which you would recommend. If you know of any unsafe streets, please let us know.

Is there anyone here who has the same ？
Perpetual Deposit Notice with a few confirmations on your account, please access the link. I received this email two days ago.
I received this email two days ago, and today I remembered and read it again and found that the deadline was today. I clicked on the link, but I had to disable my computer security to open it, and while I was trying to figure out how to do that, I realized that it was a fake email.
Do you think I can be sure it is a fake email because the sender's email address does not look like a bank ？ I am puzzled because this is the first time I have received such an email from someone claiming to be a Japanese bank.

When I was looking up how to do the renewal, I found that it can be done at Kiosk, although there is a fee, but can it be done smoothly ？ I have an image that the machine breaks down quickly and causes errors, but I think it would be convenient if it could be done at Kiosk.

My wife is a dual citizen of Japan and the U.S. We are getting married in early February&We are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
・ Booked round trip ticket with Japanese passport information
・ Japanese passport with married name
・ US passport with maiden name

I think the following concerns exist in this situation. ？
In this situation, is it even possible to leave the country in the first place ？

For outbound travel
・ When leaving Japan, use Japanese passport (check in ＆ at passport control)
< ・ Entering US using US passport (different family name but still allowed to enter US ？ \ \}

Return
・ Check-in using Japanese passport
・ Departure using US passport (at this time, you can leave Japan even though your last name is different from your ticket ？ )
・ Use Japanese passport when entering Japan

I wish I had realized this earlier, but I didn't have much time, 5 weeks before my flight, and I checked the US consulate's website, I wish I had realized this earlier, but I have only 5 weeks until my flight, and when I check the US consulate website, it states that passport renewal usually takes 6-8 weeks, so I will not make it in time.

Worst case scenario, I will have to consider changing the name on the ticket side, so if anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it if you could advise me.

We will be moving to Plano from Torrance, CA in February.
We have a 3 year old daughter and would like to know about daycare centers, living environment, safety, etc.
Also, I would like to know about housing, such as apartments with many Japanese residents.
Thank you very much.

I know I can buy it at a Japanese supermarket, but I want to buy it as cheaply as possible because I want to make fried mochi, which is made by crushing mochi, drying it and frying it.
My friend wants to make it in a potluck at home and it will be quite a lot and the price is 😭
I tried to find something like Japanese cut rice cake in a Chinese supermarket but there is none, so I am wondering if that cut rice cake is something unique to Japan ？ ？ I am not sure.
I was expecting to be able to buy them cheaper in Chinese supermarkets.
If you know where I can buy them cheaply in large quantities, please let me know.
