Disposal of cassette cylinders

We purchased a cassette stove and cylinder for use in times of disaster after the major power outage caused by the 2006 earthquake, but since then we have not had any disasters that would require a cassette stove, so we have not used them. However, since we have not had a disaster since then that required a cassette stove, we have not used it. Since many years have passed, we would like to dispose of the cassette stove and replace it with a new one, but is it acceptable to dispose of the old unused cassette stove in the garbage? If anyone knows where to dispose of them, please let us know.

Iwatani describes how to dispose of gas cylinders. It is very dangerous to dispose of them in the trash as is.

Dear Koji
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have read the URL you provided, but since I live in a condo and not in a house, there is no soil in the space I own. Would it be a violation to vent in a public place such as a beach or park ??

As for violations, I have no idea, but
if you're in a park or on the beach with no one around and no fire, I don't think it's a safety issue. If it were me, I would think that I might sneak out and vent on my lanai but good ventilation is a prerequisite. Then there is the relationship with the neighbors.
Or maybe I'll just lurk on the street in front of my apartment.

Also, there are some collection services, but I don't think it's necessary to go this far with household gas cylinders ~ ?.

Nice to meet you. I will be relocating to Silicon Valley this year.
I will be bringing my high school child with me and would like to find a home in Santa Clara.
I have seen the levels and racial composition at Great Schools, but
do you know anything about the atmosphere and recommendations for Santa Clara High School ・ or Wilcox High School
?
Also, if you can recommend any other school districts, I would appreciate it.
My child would like a school that is not too high-level ・ and not too racially polarized.
Thank you very much !

It is impossible to study abroad without an l-20 ?
I want to attend a charter school that specializes in music, and the school does not issue l-20s.
Is there any good way to do this, please let me know.

Kingston University offers a variety of programs to help you stay on I-20 in the short and long term. You can then attend the charter school for as long as you like. For more information, contact Kingston University at (626) 229-9929.

I have a subscription to Channel-J, a service that allows me to watch Japanese TV.
They used to have an office in Waikiki, but now I don't know where it is and the phone number is disconnected.
I often have trouble watching TV, and my email inquiries have not been answered.
Does anyone know who to contact ??

I had been unable to view the site since last Wednesday, but last night I got a screen that said "The site will be under maintenance for 10 days, please press the OK button twice". I pressed the OK button twice, and I was able to watch the video again. But if I don't get the contact information, I won't be able to renew next time, but I wonder if they will contact me when it's time to renew again ?.

I entered the country on April 1 this year under ESTA and got married in Hawaii with my boyfriend who is from Hawaii. I filed an I-130 to apply for permanent residence and USCIS sent an email to his email address saying that they received it, but I have not received a letter. I am entering the country under ESTA, so I only have 90 days to apply. ? If so, what should I do next? ? Since May has already passed and I am running out of time to stay on ESTA, I was wondering if anyone has applied for permanent residence under ESTA as well? ! 🙇‍ ♀ ️

As a follow-up to #8, if you are submitting
Adjustment of Status with I-485 (How to get a green card in the US )),
I-131, Application for Travel Document
and
I- 765, Application for Employment Authorization
should also be filed at the same time.
I-131 is the document that #8 mentioned, which authorizes temporary departure from the country during the application process. If you leave the U.S. without this, the I-485 process will be over there.
The I-765 is the document you need to work on until you receive your green card.
You can read more about it in the link in #2.

I did my I-485 and other applications through an attorney. I think it is generally done through an attorney as well. However, if you look up I-485 DIY, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
However, based on the above discussion, I think it would be a good idea to consult an immigration attorney first to see if it would be better to continue with the Adjustment of Status process or to return to Japan and obtain an immigrant visa through an embassy interview.

Supplement.
I wrote that I entered the country in October 2018, applied for a green card with Adjustment of Status from ESTA in November 2018, and received my green card in the mail shortly after my couple interview in July 2019 at the Honolulu office of USCIS downtown, but I remember I remembered that I received instructions for fingerprinting in December 2018, so I made an appointment in January 2019 and had my photo taken and fingerprints taken at the Honolulu office of USCIS. The photo and fingerprints taken at that time were used on my green card.

First of all, Mr. HALE has already completed your application ?
Do you know which documents you submitted and all the document names ? Do you keep copies of the documents you submitted ?
#9, Koji wrote "I- 131, Application for Travel Document, and you cannot leave the U.S. until the authorization document is returned to you.

"What should I do next ??" but if you have submitted the documents and USCIS has received them, then you will have to wait.
In my case, after mailing the documents, I just had to wait for instructions.
If USCIS has received the documents, I think the next step is to have your fingerprints taken and a photo taken, as long as the documents are complete and everything goes smoothly.

Six years ago, my husband submitted his paperwork by mail. We mailed them with a check for the application fee.
If the check has been cashed and debited from the bank, then I believe the documents have been received by USCIS and the review process has begun.

I applied in 2018 so at that time there was no online submission option and I submitted my documents by mail.
Mr. hale did you file online ? did you file by mail ?
https://www.uscis.gov/i-130
If you did online filing, you can check your case status. If you filed online, it says you can check your case status online, so you can check the status of your application yourself.

The estimated processing times for the I-130 are available on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

There is also a website where those who have filed green card applications with USCIS report their progress.
https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/134-ir-1-cr-1-spouse-visa-case-filing-and-progress-reports/
Same time as Mr. Hale, April 2024. Some have already received instructions for biometrics appointment ( photography and fingerprinting ) after filing I-130 and I-485 in April 2024 at the same time as Mr. Hale.

I have been living in California, USA for about 8 years
My F-1 visa has expired, I only have a valid I-20, but I rarely go to school
I have an I-20, so it is legal I am getting married to a Japanese permanent resident
Is there any problem if I register the marriage at the consulate? ?
and can I get my Permanent Resident status immediately ? too?

Congratulations on your marriage.

> It is legal because you have an I-20
It is up to USCIS, a law enforcement agency, to decide whether it is legal or not, so I think you should not make an easy decision yourself.

> Is there any problem if I register my marriage at the consulate ?
Why don't you call the consulate in Japan and inquire about it ?
In the first place, diplomatic missions abroad are set up to support Japanese nationals living abroad. In the first place, Japanese consulates and consulates abroad are set up to support Japanese people living abroad.
When I first started living in the U.S., I had a lot of problems and things I didn't understand. I called the Honolulu Consulate and explained the situation, and they gave me valuable advice every time.

> And can I get my permanent residence right away ?
Why don't you ask USCIS how long it takes to get permanent residence?
In your case, your spouse, a Japanese permanent resident, will be your "sponsor" to apply for your permanent resident status.
In my case, my husband, who is a US citizen, sponsored my application for permanent residence.
My sponsor husband called USCIS and explained my situation at the time, and the person who answered the phone carefully explained all the necessary documents ・ and procedures.
I submitted the documents as instructed by USCIS and successfully obtained my green card.
Since your prospective marriage partner will be your "sponsor", I think the ideal procedure would be for your prospective marriage partner to contact USCIS and assist Ms. Minty in obtaining permanent residence.

#12,

You can look up the Processing Time for the I-130 on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
Form is I-130 and Form Category is Permanent resident filling for a spouse or child under 21.

Also, according to the following site, it may take 4-5 years to receive I-130 in some cases.

If anyone knows more about this, please let me know.
Actually, the other day I was involved in a hit and run in a supermarket parking lot.
I am planning to use my car insurance to repair it, but in this case ( even if I use it for hit-and-run ) will the insurance premiums go up ?
I asked GEIKO, but they didn't give me a clear answer, so I would appreciate it if someone who has had the same case in the past could help. I have asked GEIKO but they have not given me a clear answer.

I am sure it will go up if you use insurance for whatever reason. Even though I didn't use it, it went up this year for reasons of rising prices.

If you have a police report, you could submit it to the insurance company and let them know that the accident was not your fault.

There is no guarantee that rates will not go up...

Hello.
There are many people in the U.S. who are over 65 years old and working while receiving Social Security
.
Unlike Japan, we don't put your date of birth and age on your resume, so
I think it is special if you look young.
If you are beautiful, young, clean and witty, you will be hired.
The average life expectancy of a woman is approximately 90 years, so not working for 30 years
would be a good idea to contribute to society to prevent becoming a boor.

About a third of the information magazines in the free press are realtors over 60.

I will be sightseeing in Kyoto for a few hours in Japan
I know almost nothing about Kyoto

I don't have a specific place I want to go, but I would like to go to some famous places where I can say I have seen famous places with the same idea as a foreigner
I am from Kyoto and I would like to go to some places with a few places I can say I have seen. I'm from Kyoto and I'm wondering if anyone who knows Kyoto well can give me some advice on the recommended course and how to get there
I'm planning to go from 11am to 3pm and return by Shinkansen
Thank you very much!

I don't feel like I can say I have much time. Rather than going to see temples
, I would probably go to Nishiki Market to eat and walk around. Well, it's at tourist prices, but I think it's still a good idea because of the
benefit of the weak yen.
