When I asked my landlord to replace the blinds because they were broken ､ he replaced them with even more broken and very dirty blinds, and when I complained, he said he was not going to buy new ones ､ and would not do it himself. I did not intentionally break them myself, they have been there since the previous occupant's time and if you use them for a long time, they will naturally get damaged and break.
In this case ､ Should I pay for the new blinds myself ？
I feel like the landlord thinks I don't know anything and is taking advantage of me.　I've been asked many times before when I'm moving ？
and I feel bad that they put these broken blinds on purpose.

Other times, when I asked them to replace a light bulb in the kitchen that went out, ､ the glass covering the bulb was broken, and when I told them that the bulb was fine and would not be replaced and that it was dangerous and should be handled properly,
they would not let the glass fall ､ and they do nothing. Obviously it is dangerous if it has a sharp tip and falls.　Is there somewhere I can ､ talk to if I get this kind of response ？?

Landlord.
The blinds are provided with the house and if they break I will take care of them. I will repair or replace them.
In your case, it looks old, so I would replace it with a new one.

The bulbs are consumables, so if they break, the tenant is responsible for replacing them.
However, if there is a problem such as the cover cannot be easily removed or the ceiling is too high, I will replace it. Also, if the tenant is an elderly person or a woman, I will replace it. However, tenants are responsible for the cost of the light bulbs.

There are not many Japanese landlords like Mr. Hello.
If it's a management company, they say you have to get your own light bulbs
I lived in a previous apartment, they said they would ration the bulbs, but the ceiling never went out.
Brand also replaces them free of charge if they break.
but it was the worst cheapest brand.

If the other party has U.S. citizenship, it will be quicker, but if the other party is not an American, it usually takes 8 years.
However, if it is early, it takes about 1.5 to 2 years to enter the country.
The lottery pattern falls into this category, but we often see people taking a fair amount of time for the marriage pattern.
Well, it depends on the person, so there is no standard.
If you don't have a bad background, it will go well, so please be patient.
If you have a bad background, it is better to use a lawyer.

It is honestly better to consult a local immigration lawyer who is strong in that state than a Japanese lawyer. Immigration lawyers have different things to say, but it is still better to consult a local lawyer who is strong in the area. From the experience of various people.

There are many women whose partners have US citizenship, get married internationally, and then overstay their welcome and stay in the US until they apply locally and are granted permanent residency.
Once they are officially granted, they are free to go.

Hawaii has one of the strictest immigration systems in the U.S., and there are many cases where people who had no problems before are suddenly stopped and left in history if they come during the training period of new customs officers or during the period of change. It is okay if you are sent to a different room, as long as you are not forced to leave the country.
As you may know, be careful, especially if you are a woman traveling alone.
If ESTA is not available, you will not be able to enter the U.S. without a tourist VISA, which costs more than 16,000 yen each time in Japan, as in non-ESTA countries, and this record is usually not restored until about 5.5 years.
Laws in the U.S. can change quickly, especially depending on the administration, so it is necessary to constantly look up information.

How long did it take you to get your green card ？
I know it varies from case to case.

My husband's friend （ a US citizen ） married a Mexican and applied for GC, it took her less than 10 years to get it
because she had overstayed once. （ It took me a little less than a month to get it ）
It took me and my husband （ a US citizen ） more than 20 years ago, so it is really very different from now.
I was a little nervous because I thought it would take a little longer, but once the GC is granted, I have to enter the U.S.
within 6 months.

It depends on the plan you are entering.
Even if it is the common cold, it may change if blood tests or other tests are required depending on the symptoms.
I don't think there is no zero copay.
It would be better to have an insurance for studying abroad.

Nice to meet you. I am currently living in a rental condo, but it is hot and I need air conditioning, so please tell me about portable air conditioners.
The living room lanai has four sliding glass doors, the left and right sides are fixed and the two in the middle are pulled from the left and right sides to meet in the middle
window ？ door ？.
When I look at portable air conditioners on Amazon and other places that are labeled as having a window kit, they are usually the
type with the hose coming out of a small window and the window kit can be fixed, but ours has a large window ？ and a sliding glass door ？. But ours is a large window with a sliding glass door and it is aligned in the middle. I would like to know if anyone has used a portable air conditioner on a
window ？ or door ？ of this type, how it can be installed, and if there is a Window Kit that can be adjusted for larger windows ？ or doors ？ or
. I would like to know if there is a Window Kit that can be adjusted to larger window and door and sizes, and most importantly, if the Window Kit can be inserted between both doors when the door is closed, can it be fixed without tape
and after use can the door be simply opened and the Window Kit inserted be removed?
Also, how effective is the portable air conditioner at cooling the air ？ as well as the Split AC?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but please tell me.

I'm thinking of looking for a water cooler ？ or a cold air conditioner ？ but I want to use it in Hawaii
on a humid plus hot day and I'm worried about humidity...
I'm not very coherent Sorry for the sentence...,

Hello ！ We have a similar Sliding Door, but we are very happy with our portable AC.
You are on a high floor ？ then you only use it a few days a year ？
then I don't think you need to install a Split AC. It is convenient for storage because you can extend it only on the days you use it and make it smaller afterwards. The hose is a little bit in the way though.

UA, but before we landed, there was an announcement that we did not need a customs declaration form since entry was now paperless.

Thank you all for all your input.
I was able to print successfully yesterday.

How did I end up doing it,

1 ． I found a store on Yelp that has a reputation of being able to custom print anything (https://www.yelp.com/biz/custom-1-printing- torrance)
2 ． I took the A3 paper I bought from Daiso
3 ． The professional at the store adjusted the size of the print several times and adjusted the settings so that the printed area was centered nicely on the A3 paper

I was able to get a good result.
If there was no A3 paper, the store owner was going to print on a larger sheet of paper and cut it to A3 size.
They printed it for less than $5 for 4 sheets, so they were really conscientious and helpful.

I contacted Japan Graphic in the Torrance area, and this company seemed to be able to help me, but I was in a hurry, so I went with a local printer who answered quickly on the phone this time.

By the way, A3 size is twice the size of A4 size, which is similar to the commonly used American letter size, and the paper was too big for the home printer I had at home.

Thank you very much.

I live in an apartment building. The tree in the apartment building right next to my parking spot has grown to about the height of the third floor of the building and is covering my car. Leaves are piling up every day and bird droppings are getting on it and it gets dirty quickly even if I clean it. The paint is also damaged. I told the manager of our apartment building but he said there is nothing he can do about the neighbors. I told them that they should at least be able to trim the amount that is encroaching on ours, but they are not doing anything. Where do I go for help in this situation, DCBA, LAHD, etc.? Has anyone had a similar experience and solved the problem?

They shouldn't and won't negotiate.

In the U.S., if we have a problem with our own properties, we will move, but we tend not to get involved with other people's properties.

Since then, many people have helped me and provided me with more information than I had expected, and after much deliberation, I decided to share it with you.

The reason why I wanted to know about this was because a friend of mine used to live on the second floor and had to move to the upper floor because her baby was bitten by mosquitoes. As it turns out, there used to be a lot of problems because of the lack of management, but after a new management system was installed, the mosquitoes were completely gone. \But after the introduction of the new management system, it seems to have been improved enough, although it cannot be said that they are completely gone. It seems to be improved enough.

All of them seem to be able to live without being bothered by mosquitoes.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I was lucky enough to win the green card lottery on my second application last year, but I am still waiting for the interview notice after completing the biometrics （ fingerprinting ） on April 4 this year. I asked a friend of mine who won the lottery and he told me that he received the interview notice and the biometrics notice at about the same time, but I have not received the interview notice after almost a month … (;_;)
If anyone who has won the lottery can tell me when they received the interview notice, I would appreciate it! ！ Also, if the interview schedule has been set, is it possible to confirm it online or something …?

I remember that there was quite a gap between biometrics and the interview.

In my case, my lawyer explained to me that I lost several weeks because the documents that were supposed to be delivered to the Los Angeles Legal Department were not easily passed on to the person in charge in the office. I think it is true because my lawyer accompanied me to the interview and complained to the legal department why the process was so slow. I know you are anxious because there are many circumstances, but I think you have to wait and see.
