I graduated from East Bay Community College over a decade ago.
I currently reside in Japan.

I recently got a job in Japan, and as part of the hiring process, I am required to submit （ a duplicate diploma ）
from the college.

I contacted the school and was told that they can issue a duplicate diploma, but the fee can only be paid by personal check or money order.
Currently, there is no bank in Japan that handles money orders.

Since we have been back home for more than 10 years, we do not have an account at a bank in the US, so payment by check is also impossible.

Does anyone have any ideas
on how to get a college diploma （ duplicate diploma ） from Japan ？

I would appreciate your help. We would appreciate it if you could help us.
Thank you very much.

I applied for Medicare but was not approved because I am short a few more credits and because of my status (E visa). I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years, although I have to have lived in the U.S. for the past 5 years. I have paid my taxes and was told that some people have been approved for the same visa.
I can appeal within 60 days if I disagree with this result, but I will be returning to Japan for more than 2 months for medical treatment. If anyone knows of a specialist who can help me with an appeal in this type of case, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Tax Man was kind enough to write to you earlier.
Below is a quote from Tax Man's advice.

＞ I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, so when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.


Tax payment has nothing to do with it. All investors pay taxes.
You are only eligible for Social Security and Medicare if you have the same VISA as the person
whose VISA you are, but he or she has paid Social Security and Medicare properly.

In Japan, people who have not paid their pensions or who have less than 10 years of pension eligibility are ineligible for
benefits.

If you do not have enough credits, you cannot receive the pension.

It's strange that you insist so much
when you can only get the bare minimum of medical care when you get Medicare.

If you go back to Japan for treatment, medical care is better than in Hawaii, and
the cost of medical care is very reasonable, so I simply wonder why you are so concerned about Medicare.

Why do you want Medicare when Hawaii hospitals are full of misdiagnosis and are the worst ？?

I am thinking of doing a fertility test, but I was wondering if you could recommend any hospitals or doctors ？

I have already had blood tests done at my family doctor, and there were no abnormalities in my numbers.
The doctor advised me to ask my acquaintances and look at word of mouth to decide on a doctor for the examination, and I have been researching on the Internet, but I have no clue how to decide.

I am not very good at English, so I am looking for a hospital with an interpreter.
I would appreciate any information you can give me.
Thank you very much.

I am not sure of your situation, but are you only requesting tests ？
In my case, my primary care physician diagnosed me as infertile based on the definition of infertility （ I did not have blood tests ） and was referred to a fertility specialist, Dr. Fertility Institute of Hawaii （ FIH ） referred me to Dr. Frattarelli.
After the referral, we performed various fertility tests at FIH.
The infertility tests at FIH are on their website.
https://www.ivfcenterhawaii.com/fertility-diagnoses/

（ My coordinator was not Japanese, but ） Fertility Institute of Hawaii had a Japanese IVF coordinator, so you may want to ask if they still have a Japanese coordinator.
They also have a page for Japanese.

Hi
I would recommend Fertility Institute of Hawaii.
The doctor is really GOD HAND.
I spent 6 years in Japan and 3 years in another clinic in Hawaii,
repeating from timing method to IVF several times
I spent enough money to buy one luxury car with cash.

Then I heard that someone I knew at Fertility Institute of Hawaii had IVF and her first baby at age 43, so I transferred.
After 10 years of various treatments, I was able to conceive and give birth at Fertility Institute of Hawaii in one session.
His god hands are famous and his culturist, lab, and other facilities
are just not on the same level as others.

We have assistants who can speak Japanese ？ and nurses ？ who are always with us
and translate for us.
If you are serious about pregnancy and childbirth, I really recommend it.

I don't know if this is helpful, but here is my experience. In my case, there was no fertility test. Maybe I could have had such a test if I had wanted to, but I was just before 40 years of age, so I felt like I was going to try anyway rather than have a test.
Kapiolani Hospital is free of charge, and if you ask for an interpreter when you make an appointment, they will accompany you. I had to go to Kapiolani Hospital twice when I had an examination at a place other than the fertility doctor's office, and the doctor asked me to go there even though I didn't ask him. I was taken care of twice, once by a Japanese person and once by a non-Japanese person who could speak Japanese. The interpreter told me that he would come free of charge if I wanted.
At Kapiolani Hospital, Dr. Kosaka and Dr. Dominguez are famous, and I was taken care of by Dr. Kosaka. He is a pioneer of fertility treatment in Hawaii, but he is quite old. He doesn't seem to be planning to retire yet, but it makes me worry. He is always smiling, but he doesn't talk much and works fast, so the waiting time for appointments is usually short. Also, she never says anything negative or that makes me anxious.
I have heard that Dr.Domingues is a woman and she is very thorough in explaining detailed questions. But I didn't change from Dr.Kosaka because I thought I would change from Dr.Kosaka and when I went to the office appointment it was closed and I distrusted her.
I don't know about other fertility doctors.

In my case, I think my infertility was due to my advanced age and overworking. I was given the baby when I thought I had no choice but to give up because of my age.
I don't think you can get a baby because of this doctor. I think it is important to be able to go to the clinic without any difficulty and to be able to relax. May your wish come true.

Thank you all so much for your detailed comments.
Also, I apologize for not being able to reply to you by the end of yesterday.

#2 Dear IVF birth,
For now, I am hoping to just have a test and depending on that test, I will rethink whether or not to do treatment.
I had never heard of anyone who had undergone FIH, so I am very grateful for that, and thank you for taking the time to post your website. ！
I will try to contact Japanese staffs from the Japanese page that you told me about ！

#3 Thank you Suna,
for sharing your precious experience with me. My sister is currently in Japan for 3 years for fertility treatment, and she told me that it is getting harder and harder both financially and emotionally. If the doctors and clinics are on such a different level, I was thinking of talking to my sister about it. I am very relieved that an interpreter is there every time and I think I will go to this clinic. ！

#4 Thank you for pushing me to go to this clinic
There is a pattern of not having fertility tests ！ As you said, I had heard that Kapiolani Hospital is the place to go for fertility treatment in Hawaii ・ I thought that Kapiolani Hospital is the place to go for childbirth, I had heard that Kapiolani Hospital was the place to go for childbirth, but I was a little concerned about the fact that the doctor was very old. I was also troubled by the mixed reviews about the interpreters, but I didn't know much about Dr. Dominguez, so thank you very much for the information. Thank you also for your concern. I am currently stress-free, and I hope that things will turn out well, although it may be with the help of the clinic.

Thank you all so much ！
You have been very helpful and encouraging.
Thank you very much ！

Assuming a weight of 15 kg, USPS comes out to about $ 200, Yamato International Takkyubin $ 150 （ ） not including fuel surcharge, Jetpack $ 120 （ ） not including fuel surcharge, FEDEX $ 687. 687 came out to be 687. In my experience, Yamato seems to be relatively fast and reliable; USPS is not so reliable and unreliable with their estimated dates. I have never used Nittsu or FEDEX.

Hello I am posting this to get some information and opinions from you all.

My husband is a US military man.
He divorced me a few months ago.
I put a recording device in his bag because I was suspicious of his actions and behavior.
（ I have already checked with my lawyer to see if this is against the law. ）
As a result, we were able to hear the scene where he went into the woman's house and the conversation that lasted over 3 hours.
I know cheating and adultery are not usually covered by alimony in Hawaii, but
my husband is active duty military, so if we have proof, he will be court-martialed and given a dishonorable discharge or demotion, and
the other woman is also active duty and will be punished in the same way.


If you have hired a detective before or have had the same experience as me,
please let me know.

I have hired a detective in Japan, but not in the U.S., so this is not an answer regarding cheating investigations and entertainment agencies, but you know that if you have been married to a U.S. military husband for more than 10 years, the mri wife is entitled to receive pension and other benefits after the divorce. But if your husband's rank is reduced or he is dishonorably discharged because of your accusing him to the military, your benefits from the military will also be reduced. You will not gain anything by accusing your husband of cheating on you with the military out of spite. There are many benefits for Miri wives and children with U.S. military husbands, including health insurance and educational benefits. I think it would be smarter to do your research on marriages with US military husbands and if you are divorcing, act in a way that will allow you to have a secure life after the divorce, including the division of marital property such as TSP.

In Hawaii, 60% of international marriages （ divorce within 5 years. The divorce rate between a Japanese wife and her American Caucasian husband within 5 years is 80% in the U.S. mainland and 90% in Hawaii.

From this rate, it would be a miracle if the marriage lasts more than 10 years ？
You were prepared for this when you chose to marry an American ？.

It can be done smoothly if you have the company's contracted insurance agent prepare the documents for you.　
You are supposed to fill in the documents from the hospital, the working conditions (hourly wage, hours), and the status of your injury.

If you are injured at work, do not do it on your own insurance. It will only be a WORKERS COMP.
The owner should contact your insurance company and ask them about it, but for now, when you go to the clinic, tell them that you are a workers comp. They will fill out the paperwork and tell you what you need to do. Please make sure to get the owner's consent. It is obligatory.
