My B-2 visa is about to expire, do I have to apply for it when I am in Japan ?
or can I do it in Honolulu ? I overstayed once in the past
and I can't use Esta so I got a B-2 visa. In this case, do I have to start all over again
or can I get an extension online ??

USCIS page translation. Original text is at https://www.uscis.gov/visit-the-united-states/extend-your-stay
There is an online application button at the top of the links page.

If you wish to extend your stay in the U.S., you must file a request with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ( USCIS ) on Form I-539, Application for Extension/Change of Nonimmigrant Status, before your authorized stay expires. If you remain in the U.S. longer than permitted, you may be barred from returning home or deported ( from the U.S. ). Check the Arrival-Departure Record date in the lower right corner of Form I-94 to determine the date your authorized stay expires. It is recommended that you apply for an extension of stay at least 45 days before your authorized stay expires.

You may apply for an extension of stay if.

You entered the U.S. legally on a nonimmigrant visa
Your nonimmigrant visa status remains valid
You have no criminal offense that would disqualify you from visa status.
I have not violated any conditions of admission
My passport is valid and will remain valid for the duration of my stay
You are not eligible to apply for an extension of stay if you entered the U.S. under one of the following categories

Visa Waiver Program
Crew ( D Nonimmigrant Visa )
Transiting the United States ( C Nonimmigrant Visa )
Transiting the United States without visa ( TWOV )
Fiancée or Dependent of a U.S. Citizen ( K Nonimmigrant Visa )
Informant on Terrorism or Organized Crime ( and accompanying family ) ( S Nonimmigrant Visa )

Thank you very much, Pacifism.
Since my B-2 visa will expire next year for 10 years, is it possible to extend it for another 10 years before it expires, either in the US or in Japan ??

The I-539 can be used to extend the I-94 or change the status of a nonimmigrant visa ( e.g. from B-2 tourist visa to F-1 student visa ).
https://www.lawfirm1.com/us-visa-extension-of-stay-visitor-visa-extension-application-and-fee/
By the way, I-94 is a document that determines the period of stay in the US.

The visa stamp on your passport must be done at a US embassy outside the US.

In my personal opinion, I think it is safe to consult an immigration attorney early if you are going to file an I-539.

Yesterday, January 23, around 3:00 p.m., I noticed that my cell phone was missing from the Ala Moana condo where I am staying.

I went shopping and had lunch in Waikiki that day, so it might have been in Waikiki that I dropped it.

I am deaf so if I dropped it I would not hear a sound. I thought I put it in my bag.

I think it was a gold cover and the body was silver. Please message me if you know anything about it.

(malls, restaurants, etc. that you stop at)
I think that would be quicker than asking here.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your cell phone.

- Have you tried calling the cell phone first?
If a nice person picked it up, they will answer the phone and
they will be able to tell you how to return it.

- If the condo has a concierge, it might be a good idea to ask.

- As #2 mentioned, you may want to contact the facility you stopped at. You may also want to contact the police.

- In English, Apple's website has instructions on what to do if your iPhone is lost or stolen.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201472#:~:text=Look%20for%20your%20device%20on,My%20was%20not%20turned%20on.

- On the other hand, I think you should be prepared to not get your phone back.
Unfortunately, it is a reality in Hawaii that many people have no qualms about stealing or selling other people's things. If you have a wallet phone, you may want to think about shutting down the service.

Thank you very much for your message, Mr. Koji, and Mr. Koji who does not work should not eat.

I immediately had the condo manager help me file a police report, but he told me that the iphone had never been found.
I was tracking it with GPS, but it stopped moving from a certain location, either because it was turned off or the battery ran out. The location was on ALA MOANA BLVD in front of the Hawaii Prince Hotel, so I contacted other hotels and stores in the area.
I searched for a day because the GPS tracking system has a margin of error of about 50 meters, but as Mr. Koji said, I have given up hope that it will not come back. I have given up hope that it will never come back, as Mr. Koji said.

I have not yet received my 2021 unemployment insurance income, 1099-G, for my 2021 tax return, have you received yours?
I received unemployment insurance for 2021 from January to September.
I live in a condo where mail is often misdirected and mail for other rooms in the same condo is often delivered by mistake, and if it has already been sent, I feel that my 1099-G may have been misdirected to another room.
If I wait a little longer and don't receive it, can I do one of the following ?
① call the unemployment insurance office and request a reissue
② log into my unemployment insurance account and output it myself
② if I can ?
Also, is there any other way other than ① ② ??

Hello.
I am currently reading in the news that PCR test kits are in short supply,
I am planning to take the test on the same day at Haneda Airport, ( the airport I leave for Hawaii is Narita, )
I am worried about the availability of the test kit.
I contacted Kinoshita Group last week, but it seems that I will not receive a reply.
Please let me know if you know anything.
Thank you very much !

The Kinoshita Group allows online reservations 5 days before the inspection date, so why don't you make an appointment ?
As far as I can see from my own My Page of the Kinoshita Group, it is still possible to make an appointment now, so I don't think it will be a problem. I am a little worried if I can take the same-day inspection without an appointment.

It depends on how important you think the information in the device is. If the information is not very important, you can usually just put it out with the trash. It is unlikely that others will see it. Also, the following URL may be helpful.

If you are concerned, try to find a company that specializes in disposal. My recommendation is to "first soak it in water" and then "physically destroy it" for cell phones, etc. For PCs, etc., I would remove the hard disk and "soak" it in water and then "physically destroy it".

I would like to file a tax return from Japan if possible, but we currently do not have a local address and have not received the necessary documents such as a w-2.
Is it possible to issue each of these as data on the web, etc. ?

Understood.

FYI, I have been a tax attorney in Los Angeles for over 20 years.


I have been asked to handle
tax returns for Hawaii residents who have seen this topic, and I handle
two - three such returns each year.

We apologize if we have offended you, but we would again
recommend that you do not ask these questions on the board, but instead ask your usual experts to
handle these matters.

Quick story.

Topix really has zero deciphering and comprehension skills.
I laughed and said, "He's so stupid!

He is a Citizen, but he has no English skills either, to the point of embarrassment.

His character is also rotten, which is the real reason he came to the board after being rejected by all the tax accountants, ostensibly because he was "busy.

In the pandemic, originally, crazy people are getting crazier and crazier, and Topix is one of them. We thank Tax Man for that.

Tax man, I was wondering if that is true since you mentioned your experience in your story. One thing I was wondering is if it is true that if you have more than $10,000 in a Japanese bank, you have to declare it there as well ?.

I don't need to explain any more to Topix.

Since you commented that you are consulting a tax accountant, it is better to pay him properly and gather the information yourself. tax man's time is wasted.
