We are looking to dispose of a king size mattress.
We have considered selling it as it is almost unused, but we are unable to sell it and donations are currently not possible due to Corona.
If anyone has any information on stores that would be willing to take it back for free, we would appreciate it if you could let us know.

Thank you in advance.

I am having trouble finding a good driving school.

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

I got ripped off at a driving school a long time ago. The first time, he explained the angle to hold the steering wheel and traffic rules without driving ､ The second time, he drove around my house ､ The third time, he drove on the freeway ､ Soon after, he stepped on the gas pedal and brake under his own car without asking me to drive. The fourth time, he told me that I should make an appointment for the test next week, but I was still not a good driver, so he said he would cancel the test and I would have to practice again, and then he started taking more and more money from me. I should have asked my friend from the beginning.　

You don't have to go to a driving school, there are professionals who do it privately, so I think you should ask them. ｡ It was in a thick free magazine like the yellow pages that used to be around, but they don't have books like that anymore.... LOL!

Since you say you've only been in the US a short time,

Also, it is traffic school, not driving school, where you go for violations.

Because we have a traffic school in the driving school,

when you are looking for a traffic school for a violation, go to the driving school and ask

if they do traffic school.

They'll tell you if they do or not.

I married an American man in May 2018, applied for GC in June and got it down in March 2019. In my case, I hired an immigration attorney, who said it was exceptionally fast. I was surprised. The reason why it was so fast is because ① my status was changed from J1 visa. （ People on tourist visas are the slowest. Student visa holders are the next slowest, and E1 J1 holders are often the fastest ）. ② Because my husband had one job and had worked for many consecutive years and was a government employee, it was easy to check his background.

How to enter the U.S. if your GC has been expired for 2 years

  • あき

We are an internationally married couple, my husband is American and I am Japanese. We are currently living in Japan. At the time of our marriage, I received a 2-year U.S. green card with my husband's spousal sponsorship and spent time working locally in the U.S.
In the fall of 2019, due to family circumstances in Japan, we are moving to Japan as a married couple, at which time we have also submitted an I-131 (travel document / re-entry permit)to the USCIS. both the I-131 and the green card expire in March 2021. Due to the sudden outbreak of the corona disaster, neither the couple has been outside of Japan since the fall of 2019. We are now considering returning to the U.S. for a week in June 2022, partly because Japan has loosened its water border control regulations and partly because we have already taken our third dose of corona vaccine in Japan. However, our base of living is in Japan, and we are not considering living in the U.S. again at this time. So, my question is how to enter the US.

① Should I get an ESTA to enter the U.S. this time ？
② If so, will there be any trouble at U.S. customs ？ I would like to prove that my return to the U.S. is only for one week and my home base is Japan. （ Should I prepare, for example, a certificate of employment in English in Japan ）? We are not considering it at this time. Therefore, my husband and I continue to make the same annual US tax return that we have every year as a married couple jointly, even after the GC expires. Is this the right thing to do if I am a GC holder living abroad and do not want to waive my GC rights ？ and if there are any other good measures to take, please let me know.

Yes, you cannot automatically relinquish your permanent residence when your GC expires.

To abandon, you must file Form I-407 with USCIS and have a final tax return as a U.S. resident.

Even if you have permanent resident status, you cannot enter the U.S. if your GC has expired or if you stay outside the U.S. longer than the term of your permit.

A long time ago, after taking up permanent residence, a person who had lived in Japan for 25 years tried to go to the US under ESTA and was not allowed on the plane. When he contacted the US Embassy, he was told to go through the GC waiver process, which he did.　The embassy （ or consulate, ） seems to be quite helpful about GC expiration etc.

Also, there are many people who have their GC taken away at immigration when they enter the US and then deported. ？

I have been in Los Angeles for language study since last week.

Is it a safe place to live ？ ？
I don't think it is good, but I have been here for a short time
I would like to hear from someone who has been in L.A. for a long time.
I am planning to change my place of stay at the end of this month to the Los Cauti Museum and other places,
I wonder if it would be better to change as soon as possible ？.

Is the owner of the homestay a Japanese American? ？ It may not be as safe as the Japanese neighborhood in Torrens. However, house prices in the Crenshaw area have exploded in the last few years, and the number of white residents in this area, which used to be considered a black neighborhood, is increasing, so it is definitely becoming safer. If you go to Adams, a little north of Potomac Avenue, you will find more and more popular cafes. I guess you are a man, Riku? But it is the same everywhere. Even in LA, where people say it is safe, there are places where it is dangerous to go off the beaten path. This may not answer your question very well. I wish you a wonderful study abroad experience.

More white residents are also coming because of its proximity to downtown.

Main Street, one block west of the former New Otani Hotel in Los Angeles, was

in the 1980s, home to many homeless people and pornographic movie theaters, and the general public just drove by, but

buildings were converted into lofts where people could live in stylish shops.

Today, the street is no longer a shadow of its former self and is becoming safer.

Our cat hospital, Purradise Cat Care, Inc. is our cat's hospital. It used to be a different hospital called Cat Clinic, and we have been with them since then. The owner changed and it is now Purradise Cat Care. Since the previous clinic, there was a Japanese woman working there who was very attentive （ Since the Corona Disaster, I have only received my cat in the parking lot and have not met her, so I am not sure if she is still working there today ）. I have used them both when traveling and as a pet hotel, and have been satisfied with their attentive service.

Also, I have not used King Street Pet Hospital, but a friend of mine has used them and said they have also been taken care of with no problems, so I will list them here.

I have never used them for teeth cleaning, so I am sorry, but I do not know.

I hope you find a clinic that is a perfect match for your cat and owner ！.

Nekonuko. I knew there was a veterinarian in Kapahulu who specializes in cats,
but you even have a pet hotel.
Could you tell us how the pet hotel is handled?
I was told that when you leave your kitty with us, they are usually left in a small cage
so I assumed that a pet hotel was not possible, but what was the environment like to be treated with care? If you have time, I would love to know.

My cat's teeth became wobbly and she could not close her mouth, so I took her to Purradise Cat Care as an emergency. It was a tooth extraction surgery that day and it cost me roughly ＄ 800 at full cost. But they cleaned all the teeth and clipped the nails. The cleaning would have cost close to that if they had to put me under anesthesia. The doctor and staff are very kind, and the Japanese staff was closed when I went, but they are usually there. And I am now looking for a place to leave my child while I return to Japan. I have looked on the internet, but all I can find are cages or private rooms with no windows. Ideally, I would like to find a place that is cage-free, has a view out the window, and has a permanent staff, but it seems that there are only places in Kailua and Kaneohe. If anyone knows of any good places, please let me know.

if you're in a car, people walking around won't stop their cars and attack you.

I lived in Southern California around 1970, from 1976 until 1991, and returned last year at the age of 60.
I was born in Japan, but my father's work took me to Paris when I was 4 years old, and to Southern California when I was 9 （ in 1970 ）.
I first learned Japanese at Tozai Gakuen. In fact, my wife and I were married in a church at Tozai Gakuen. Have Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura passed away? ？
I returned to Japan after about two years, but the other day I took my 21-year-old son by car around Torrance and Gardena, where we used to live.
At that time, only expatriate families from various companies drove Japanese cars. I remember Mr. Toyoda's wife was driving a Corolla. Our family was a Honda.
You can tell which expatriate you are.
Then when I was 15, my father left and we came back. At first we lived in Redondo Beach, but for some reason I went to South High School in Torrance. I remember washing dishes at a sushi restaurant called "Kikusui" at night, but of course that restaurant is no longer there. I remember there was a restaurant called "Yuki" in 1970 as well, I believe. At that time they didn't let us have sushi, it was inari-zushi, and I remember visiting there several times, even when I was 15 years old back then.
I remember this place too, but I wonder if it is now an office or Walmart ？
I missed South Bay, although it was moved to San Fernando Valley in 1977.
While attending UCSD, I worked as a tourist guide in Los Angeles during summer vacations to earn money for tuition and living expenses. As I recall, I was a subcontractor for Nittsu Travel. It allowed me to get through graduate school without incident, and I also learned public speaking. I returned to Japan in 1991 and came back to the US in 2010. I went to Boston, Silicon Valley, and then came back here. Now I live looking at the Pacific Ocean. When I was a guide, I used to go to "Kushinobo" in Little Tokyo. That area has completely changed since then. I remember the store on the first floor with the deer symbol, but I can't remember the name. That area was crowded with tourists. I used to earn commissions by selling "Senka" Beef Jerkey. Sushi Gen still exists, but I wonder if it is the same as it used to be. ？ I have not tried it yet.
I wrote this with nostalgia. It is a year, isn't it?

＃ I returned last year at age 60.

What kind of visa did you enter the country with?
