For small amounts, WISE use is a good choice, but for larger amounts, the fees are lower from the bank.
If the amount exceeds 1.1 million yen per year, the recipient will be subject to transfer tax on the excess amount.

I put it in my brother's Sony Bank foreign currency deposit （ at a good rate ） and he sends me monthly living expenses from there.
If it is properly used for living expenses, there is no gift tax.
For example, if the money sent is not used by the parents and is saved, it is considered to be a "transfer of assets, not living expenses" and gift tax may be incurred. Please be careful not to send large sums of money in one lump sum.

For large amounts, bank transfers can only be sent in several installments, each time incurring a fee
WISE can send the money in one shot, so it's cheaper.

I think #1 would like to know the status of construction near Turtle ・ Beach or Laniakea ・ Beach, where sea turtles dry their shells, the resulting traffic congestion, and parking availability. I don't know what the current situation is because I didn't go to the beach myself because I thought it would be crowded.

You will be notified of fingerprinting rather soon after you apply

and then you can leave the country after that your lawyer will send you a re-entry permit to your home. You will then be sent a re-entry permit to your lawyer or to your home (you do not need to be in the US at that time) and you will carry it with you the next time you enter the US for immigration
The re-entry permit itself is very similar to a passport
It has the same face and photo as your green card. photo.

Off topic, but I saw a local news story about green card holders
about a day or so ago.

Seattle resident who emigrated from the Philippines 50 years ago and lived there. She works as a state employee for the state of Washington.
She traveled to the Philippines for 2 weeks in February,
returned and was taken to the Seattle airport by ICE and is still in custody
. No reason given. My lawyer can't seem to do anything.
My trial starts in July, so I think I will have a hard time in jail for a long time. It seems that many green card holders are detained. ？

For your information!

The situation in question, in terms of convictions, is that he was convicted of embezzlement in 2001, but he has never gone to jail and has not been convicted of any other acts since.
He says that CBP immigration inspectors are becoming more strict than in the past, and that even old convictions and cases that did not result in convictions can result in inadmissibility.

In the article, immigration attorneys are advised to be careful about traveling abroad if they have any concerns （ for example, criminal involvement ） in the past.

Before that, why didn't you change lawyers before you felt the pain ？
Besides, I don't think you're wasting your time getting involved with such lawyers any more. Hawaii is full of these looser people and they are all unreasonable as long as you live here.
But if you don't have the mentality to accept unreasonableness and move forward, I think you will have a more stress-free and comfortable life in Japan.

Good evening.
I am sorry to hear that you have had an unsuccessful attorney.
You can easily apply for a green card by yourself or your husband.
It is not a case that requires a lawyer. Good luck.

I agree with #3, #4, and #5, the Net is a fast way to get connected, but it's also a fast way to get disconnected. It's like after watching a big firework show
you hit it off and it was a mistake ｡
my friend's daughter is getting married to a guy she met on the Net from another state, so she sends her luggage and even her wedding dress. We had a fight over a trivial matter and the luggage was sent back to THE END. When I saw the returned white wedding dress hanging on the door, I was so shocked. My hand went to my forehead and I had to think about it. I felt pain, but I was glad that I didn't have to drag the wound with me. It was a great Speed feeling. So this is Net
I can't do it. I am enjoying the happiness of living in Hawai'i by growing plants in my garden and expanding my roots through water💦growing in the course of a day within my range.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's daughter.
Perhaps she did not have a green card
I doubt it ？
Very few men want to sponsor her, so it is easier for a green card holder or
US Citizen woman to get married or remarried.

Even if you get married through friends, pickups, or in-house marriages, you will get divorced, so
I don't think it matters how you meet people.

For couples who have been married once unsuccessfully
it is better to live together and then remarry
without risk to both parties.

My friend's daughter is a US Citizen with an American father and is fluent in Japanese. My friend's partner is a Japanese IT professional who has lived in the US since he was a child. Later ， she met a local man
because of her dog and they are dating (he was a sales clerk during his break time who was worried about her dog in the car while she was shopping with her dog in the car with the window rolled down a little).

Wouldn't it be expensive to call on 011.81 ？ I don't want to add a plan for just one call, and it's rare to call a landline nowadays, so not many people have a contract. I'd like to know too.

Calling from the U.S. to Japan
SIM card with international calling plan American carriers （ e.g. ： T-Mobile, AT&T ） may offer plans that include international calling to Japan. Please check with your cellular company.

VoIP apps Skype, Google Voice, and LINE call features allow you to call Japanese mobiles and landlines at very low cost if you have a Wi-Fi connection.

Prepaid International Phone Cards Buying a card with low calling rates is another option. However, as you mentioned in the past, please note that the balance may expire or expire while not in use.

eSIM service Recently, there is a service that allows you to temporarily obtain a number for use in Japan using an eSIM. If set up in advance, it will facilitate communication when returning to your hometown.

Rental Cell Phone Service Renting a cell phone with a Japanese number at Narita or Haneda airports is another option.

How to receive calls from elementary schools
If you set up an online number such as Google Voice, you can receive calls in the U.S. similar to Japanese numbers. However, you need to make sure that the elementary school has no problem with you calling the international number.

You can also register a family member or friend as a substitute contact and have them contact you if necessary.

Thank you very much for your kind detail, Hirorin.

As for #7, are you saying that you can also call a landline from LINE ？ I've never done anything other than call your friend on VOICE, but if you're calling a landline, then you can call someone who is not your friend ？ if so. I'd appreciate it.

I paid $ 5 for an app called Viber, but I couldn't figure out how to call it in either Japanese or English, so ＄ 5 left. No matter how many times I try ＆ it doesn't work and the money doesn't decrease, so I've left it alone.

I actually bought an eSIM for #8 last year, but my iPhone won't Unlock and I haven't used it. This year I am planning to get a new phone before I go back home, so if I have last year's eSIM, it means I can get a cell phone. ？ The eSIM is still usable without even activating it.

#9 I can't tell the school or store to call me internationally, so I guess eSIM is the best. ？

I'm not good at this kind of work and searching, so there are many times when I end up buying something but not using it. I am not good at this kind of work and search, but I can't use it even though I bought it.

To put it bluntly, it sucks. You pay for your own insurance, gas to your destination and gas back home ． they deduct 20% or more ． drunks, non-smokers, overcrowding ． vomit, dirt, hurt yourself, blood ． old cars get complaints ．

Ubering may be useful if you need cash now ？
or want to make a little money in your spare time. Or you're looking for a job.
I don't think it should be a regular job.
If it's the same driver job, I think it should be Access or something.
For Access Taxi, they pay $ 30 per passenger, regardless of distance or time required.
It is a shared ride, so up to 3 people can be picked up at a time. They are always loading and unloading and have a good turnover.
I'm a user, but looking at what the drivers make, I'd say they usually make $ 200 for a morning's work.
Of course you have to subtract expenses from that, but everyone says it's a good job and Uber is stupid.
You have the freedom to take the next day off if you want. For a full time employee, they pay $ 27 an hour ？ I think.

Restaurants were not allowed to eat or drink inside and you could not order inside, so you ordered at the entrance, waited outside
and when it was ready, you just got it and left.
Not many people went all the way to order, so they ordered with Uber Eats and had it delivered.
I was making about $2000 a week.
