Nice to meet you
I am an auto mechanic specializing in American cars in Japan for 26 years.
I would like to work as an auto mechanic in the U.S. in the near future.
I cannot give up my childhood dream.
However, I am having a hard time finding a visa sponsor.
If anyone is familiar with the auto maintenance industry in the US, I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
If anyone knows how to find a job and the process of getting a visa, I would appreciate it if you could share the information.

The problem is that we specialize in American cars ~.
Usually, visas are granted to people who have skills that American people don't have.
It is hard to believe that foreigners know more about American cars than Americans.
Sponsors might be willing to sponsor a store with many Japanese customers if they really need a mechanic who can speak Japanese. I don't think so.

Good evening, I live in US.
Are you applying for a Green Card ?
or are you married to a US Citizen and have them sponsor you for a Green Card
?
Not many companies issue Working Visa
so you could find a green card
sponsor while living in the US with a green card from expatriate, J1Visa.
There are people living in US in various patterns.
You could try contacting a temp agency ?.

Dear rxp and everyone
thank you for your replies.
I have applied for DV2026.
I will do some research.

In a manner of speaking, I am a mechanic, but I work in Japan ( specializing in difficult problems that dealers and other stores have been unable to solve, mainly new model vehicles ) mostly computer and electrical .
We are working in the same environment as the dealers in the home country, from the acquisition of information to the facilities, by contracting with a US manufacturer GM FORD CHRYSLER USNISSAN USTOYOTA.
If your skills are recognized, you may be able to work somewhat. Of course, I can do all mechanical repairs.
I run an automotive engineering company, so management relations are good, and I contact the US daily to gather information and import cars and parts.
My English is at an everyday conversational level and I am training with a dedicated teacher.

Also, you may want to call or Email Japanese car companies directly
.
There are many Japanese people in Hawaii, so there is a demand for people who can speak both Japanese and English.
There are always Japanese men at Japanese car companies.

I have completed my J1 training and am now back in Japan and looking for a company that can support my E2VISA from Japan.
My question is, are there any requirements in terms of age and work experience to switch from J1 VISA to E2 VISA? ?
For J1 VISA, 5 years of experience in food and beverage including part-time job as a student was required.
I myself had no problem because I had more than 5 years of restaurant experience, but I have heard that there are some people who have less restaurant experience who have changed their career history to 5 years.
I wonder if it is possible to renew my E2VISA with more than 5 years of experience in food and beverage ?
I would like to know if there is anyone who is familiar with E2VISA support and is currently working with E2VISA ! Thank you very much. Please !

There is no age requirement, but it is difficult if you are too young. This is because the qualities of being able to manage in the same position as a manager are questioned.
If you have several years of experience as a restaurant manager or the like, I think you will be safe.

Japalace can afford to give you E2
even if you don't want it
and the owners of Japalace in Hawaii
are seriously short of staff
and want you to come tomorrow to be honest, I'd like you to come tomorrow but the benefits and hours are not that great.

There are a lot of 22 and 23 year olds in management positions at all workplaces
However, the treatment and hours are not as good … Hey … You get the picture ?
We let them live in Hawaii so they have to sign slave contracts. I know, right?
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

It's up to you to climb out of it !
I wish you the best of luck.

I am recently divorced and need to be independent, but will it be difficult to start my own business from freelancing with my English still at a beginner level and no education or business skills? I have a child, but my ex-husband has moved to another state with our child due to my lack of earning power. I am often told that I should go back to Japan ? but personal circumstances make it difficult for me to return. I have no idea what I need to do to make freelance money. What should I start with?

You can probably baby-sit Japanese children.
Once you get used to it, you can earn quite a bit of money if you take care of several of them together at home. Home daycare center. It is a splendid entrepreneurship.

Nurseries are hard to license
my friend does it with Japanese language classes
you are still taking care of kids for the day
there were about 30 of them
one of the parents brings them in and takes them home in the evening
they have two nice cars Hey

kids are nice, but elder care seems to make a lot of money
I have a friend who does elder care for $500 a day
and it's a cash contract
sounds delicious!

Yes, daycare centers that care for children in Los Angeles must be licensed. In California, child care centers and day care facilities must follow state regulations and obtain the appropriate licenses.1 This ensures that children receive care in a safe and appropriate environment.

I work in a restaurant.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some definitions about 10 minute breaks and 30 minute breaks !

because I have never been allowed to take a break at the restaurant I currently work at. I didn't think much of it before, feeling that it was just a break, but the other day I was checking my work hours and found that I had been given several 30 minute breaks that I had never taken, and they were exploiting my pay. Of course, I checked with the president, and later he said, "I found out the cause and will pay you the amount that was deducted.

I was shocked, because it was normal to pay, but there was not a single word of apology, nor any reason for the 30-minute break I had taken the liberty of putting on.

I haven't thought about suing yet, but I wanted to write here to make sure I understand the law.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me more about this.
I would also like to know if there are any specialists whom I can consult ! .

I believe they had to pay an extra hour for each 30 minute meal break or 10 minute break they did not take as a penalty.
You should check out sites such as Labor Department for more information, and even if you don't intend to sue, you should consult an attorney or other legal counsel.

Bake-san

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 read that the minimum hourly wage is now $14.00 and the tip rate in restaurants has been increased, requiring that a minimum of $21.00 per hour be paid by the employer plus tips.
Is this applicable to kitchen staff and not servers ?
Is the employer responsible for any missing tips ??

If a company uses the tip credit ( system ) which allows tipped employees to be paid an hourly rate lower than the normal minimum wage, the system requires that the employee be paid at least $ 21 per hour, so if the company pays the minimum wage $ 14, then would not add anything.

Make sure you understand the laws of the State of Hawaii, and
if you think they are wrong, show them to your employer and sue them.

https://labor.hawaii.gov/wsd/minimum-wage/

If you still don't like the black company, you can
https://www.eeoc.gov/

fill out this form to sue them for free and even suspend their business. If you are still not satisfied, you can sue the company for free.

This is the case for "Minimum Wage Calculation Table [When Using Tip Credit]" as shown in the PDF that Mr. Justice Wins is sending me.
I am an employer using Tip Credit.
If you are a kitchen staff member and you are paid $14 per hour, the employer does not have to pay you any more.
Overtime must be paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate.

Traveling on a J1 visa for people in their 30s

I am a man in my early 30s currently working in Japan.
I have always wanted to work in the U.S. and am considering taking a trainee job on a J1 visa to gain experience.

This program is called the American version of the work-holiday, but what is it really like?
Actually, I had planned to travel to the U.S. in the past but had to give it up because of corona. Since I am in my 30s, I wonder if it would be worth it to go if I could gain some experience, but I am wondering if it would be too subtle as I am a trainee and would not be appreciated much upon my return.

Agents have a strong business component, so they give good advice, but what is the actual situation?
By the way, my current job is IT-related, but it is not a technical job like a programmer.

If any of you have experience with this, I would like to know more about it. Best regards.

I think my high school study abroad was on a J1 visa. College was F1.

After I started working, there was a J1 visa holder in my company, but he was doing really trivial work. He was doing really trivial work, like filing paperwork that anyone could have done.
It was a black company and it was the company's fault, but he didn't seem to have any motivation or ambition, so it was understandable.

The third person above is amazing, it must have been very hard to make it on a J1 visa, the J1 visa person at my company was lamenting the gap with the H1 visa.
