Where will you stay during your temporary return to Japan ? If at your parents' house, will you pay ? If so, how much ?

I leave 50,000 yen allowance for each of my parents for a 2-3 week stay and 50,000 yen for living expenses as a thank you. If we go shopping together, I pay for everything.

I don't usually do anything in particular, and the only time I have the opportunity to do so is when I go back home.

You need to write a rationale why it is difficult.
Families stay with relatives and they do.

Oh, you mean there is no space to stay ??

When I posted on this forum that I wanted to watch Japanese programs, someone recommended that I purchase the above box, which I purchased from Amazon for about $ 230.
When I first installed the box, I was able to watch Japanese programs in real time without any problem, although the operation was complicated, but a few days ago, I could hardly watch the programs.
And when I went back to my Amazon history to inquire about it, I found that the information on this product had disappeared 💦
I guess this means that it has become just another black box. I am aware that this was not a cheap learning experience 💦
I know it was an easy decision to make, so please refrain from any criticism.
I just wanted to post this as a reminder to everyone.

If you are testing to see if WiFi strength is the issue,
I think the first step would be to check if your equipment works near WiFi.
If you find out, you don't have to change your equipment such as Ethernet cable or WiFi router location.

Hi
I'm moving to the Bay Area and was wondering if there are any other sites besides Zillow and Craigslist that you would recommend for apartment hunting ?

I'd also like to see some reviews to make sure I don't make any mistakes if I actually live there. I would also like to refer to reviews to make sure I don't make any mistakes if I actually live in an apartment.

I found mine on Zillow.
There are some Japanese real estate agencies, but I don't recommend them. I had a bad experience.
I looked at a lot of Google reviews too, but you never know until you actually live there. There are always people who write bad things, and on the other hand, I doubt that they write only good things. The apartment I actually live in now doesn't have good reviews but the living comfort is ok. With houses, it depends tremendously on what kind of person the owner is. If you decide on the area you want to live in and actually go around, I would recommend going directly to the places that are having open houses to see them in person because they are putting up balloons. You can see rooms that have not yet been put on Zillow, etc. Be aware that many of the buildings are old, even if they look beautiful at a glance.

If you search for San Jose apartment for rent, for example, Apartment.com, rent.com, or Trulia, you will find many sites. I found them on rent.com and Apartments.com, and tapping the "view property Website" in the middle will take you directly to the web site of the apartment.

Have you ever worked in a bakery ?

It would be nice if you could start out in baking, but even if not

there are many things you can learn if you work in a bakery.

I think there is a lot you can gain by working your way down, like a sushi chef or a chef.

Good luck.

I just recently applied for a green card by marriage through an attorney.
For those who have applied for a green card by marriage in recent years, how long did it take to get the work permit, travel permit, etc. ?
I am currently on OPT, but am concerned because it expires on 2/29.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, you are correct. Of course I have already informed my attorney of the approximate expected time frame, but I wanted to post this to ask about the experiences of those who have actually recently applied for a green card themselves. Sorry for the lack of words.

I joined the family in the summer of 2022, received my marriage certificate and immediately started the application process.
Eleven months later, my green card and work permit arrived at my house at the same time.
We were also supposed to receive our travel permits after fingerprinting, but we still have not received them.
We were also asked for additional documents due to incomplete paperwork ( That was a mistake on their part and there was no incomplete paperwork, but our lawyer provided us with documents to that effect ) so the process stopped there for about 2 months.
If nothing like that happened, we could get it within 6 months to a year ?.

We were US citizens ourselves and the wife's was F1.
We joined last March and applied straight away and finally received our EAD card and AP in November.

By the way, I got the interview notice right after that. I finished the interview last week and now I am waiting for the result.
Later we didn't go through a lawyer, so I hope it comes soon for Topi's side.

Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

Question

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?

I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?

I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, sometimes I get a bill when I forget about it. At any rate, I would check
what the bill ? is now and then ask the previous insurance company ? if this is something that has to be paid or not covered.
I'm not sure the hospital or insurance company would be liable unless it was a serious mistake.
"Oh, I forgot, you have to pay." So it's like.

In my case, on the contrary, last year I had to pay back the premium amount for a treatment that I was told was not covered by insurance. The treatment cost was several years ago. When I inquired about it, I was told that it took a long time to process the paperwork due to the office being closed due to Corona.

Dear Magires
Thank you for your advice. I checked with the hospital and Bill had sent it immediately after the clinic. He said that he had not received a single prompt after that, so he probably forgot about it. Also, I checked my credit card history and it seems that I did not pay for the year 2021, so I paid this time.


Dear rak
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I understand that it is possible to get back the other way around. I have been living in Hawaii for 7 years now and I thought I had a lot of things figured out, but this is the first time I have been baptized by a late bill.


Thank you both for your valuable stories. This time we resolved the issue by saying that the hospital forgot to bill you and I also forgot to pay. I am glad it was not a big surprise amount.

If they won't raise your salary anyway, just use the company. If they won't let you quit, that means you need them !
Make money by pretending you're working by the hour.
What belongs to the company is mine.
If the pay is too small, make your money somewhere else.
Keep a good face to your superiors and you won't get fired.
