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.

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.

Thank you Vicky, I will try to find a job in the Nikkei bakery.
I've looked at jobs at Nikkei bakeries, but none of them are looking for people with no experience, but if I wanted to start as a cashier and learn to bake for the first time, I might have a chance ！
Thank you.

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 ？.

It reminded me of a TV documentary about a Filipino woman who married a balding old man in Japan for a Japanese visa, even though they didn't speak the same language, and got divorced a few years later after the visa was confirmed.

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.

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.

I was once treated as an exempt employee by the payroll system and not paid for overtime work. The manager was like an absolute king, so there was no hr or accountant, and it was expensive to ask a lawyer.

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.

I think the reason strange people come to you is because you can't say no
I used to get tired of putting on a good face to people I didn't like, but
If I don't like this person when I first meet them, I usually end up not liking them afterwards
I try to focus on people I feel good with. I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't leave early, it's a hassle to get involved with my friends and acquaintances

If I buy stocks, it's at my own risk.

Yes, that's right. It would be better if they did not start dating in the first place. It is true that such people do come close.

I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't get away from them early, it will be troublesome after they get involved with my acquaintances and friends
You're right. You can bring a friend without a car from the beginning and they say it's close,

stock self-responsibility. But I trust people right away. Whether it's an acquaintance or a brokerage firm.
You're not sure of yourself, but I'll be careful.
I will cut ties with people like #111 as fast as I can. I will not even enter into a light relationship here.

People leave not only because they believe in you or not
there are many reasons

I have been finding it troublesome to hang out with people lately
it's not that I have any bad reasons
I honestly feel that I have no reason to hang out with them
I have left people I have been hanging out with due to inertia
I only spend time with people I enjoy

I don't enjoy casual conversations with people I enjoy
I think it's time to reset

I think it's time to reset.

I was able to spend my holidays slowly
I started to think about starting something new
I started to learn a lot
I got to know people who share the same values

I only share things I can share

At my age, no one fits everything
We only share the parts that fit each other

I feel very comfortable

So I have only a few friends that I can call friends
but I like them this much I've come to realize that I like it this way.

#34 I think I read somewhere that Ghanaian people came to Japan because they originally had kidney problems and needed dialysis. If we give free medical care to such people, there will be more such people in Japan.

This couple seems to be adjusting their income by saving the husband from his part-time pizza delivery job once the wife starts working full time.
I'm sure there are people out there who make a good living while on welfare. But this guy has been exposing all of that on video until now. No, it would be fine if they were earning their own money and living that way without relying on assistance. It's like he said he was going to live in a low income apartment for the rest of his life when he didn't. And then he makes the statement that he doesn't want to breathe the same air ！ as the people at Walmart.

You are allowed to own up to one house and one car.

If you give free medical care to such people, there will be more such people in Japan. There are already many foreigners of that kind. China, Korea, Philippines and others. In Japan, once you get that qualification, there seems to be no check in the middle of the process.
So many of them come to Japan only when they need to rewrite or something, and then live in their home country
and receive only benefits from Japan. Since they have no income in Japan
they are tax-exempt households. Of course, they automatically receive corona and other benefits.

The law is also unmanageable because it was made when the number of gaijin in Japan was still small.
It is sometimes discussed in the Diet, but the Japanese do not like to change laws and precedents, so
it has been a cheat. It would be better if the laws were amended or changed
in line with the current situation, as in the U.S.

There is a theory that the Japanese are trying to keep the welfare and medical budgets in the red in order to use it as an excuse to raise taxes.
