Has anyone started applying for a green card during the OPT period? This is an application for permanent residence through marriage to an American citizen. I have a few questions and thought I would post here to share some information. For those of you who have recently started the application process, is it still too late in the process ? and is there any risk of returning to Japan before starting the application ??

I would like to transfer from a Japanese university to CA State University.
I contacted the state university and was told that I cannot
apply because I do not have Golden Four credits.
If anyone knows how to obtain the Golden Four,
I would appreciate your advice.

1. You can probably take the required courses through OPEN UNIVERSITY the semester before you hope to get it. https://www.calstate.edu/attend/professional-and-continuing-education/Pages/open-university.aspx
2. You should consult with your Japanese university academic advisor (who can contact the CSU campus you want to enter) to see if any of the courses you already took can be applied to one of the Golden Four courses.
3. You could take these courses at a community college (best way IMO).
Good luck!This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Looking for a place to keep a medium sized dog ( long term )

- 2022/08/09 13:03
Due to circumstances, I need to return home temporarily for about 6 months and am looking for a place to keep my child for that time. I am not sure how long it will be, but I think it will coincide with the holiday season. I have been able to ask a friend and her family for help, but they are planning to move soon, so I can no longer ask them.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Since we are long term, dog boarding, dog hotel, etc. would be out of our budget, but we may have to consider it when the time comes.
Do you have any other recommendations on sites such as Rover.com ?

Dear Nobu,
Thank you for your inquiry.
His breed is Pit Bull ( small size ) and he is 4 years old.
He is a very lost child in terms of first impressions, both in terms of appearance and in terms of breed.
but to me he is a Labrador in a Pit Bull suit, he may take a little time to warm up, but as long as he gets a walk and exerts his energy, he is a couch potato. They love to be snuggled up to their owners. He is very responsive to cats. With small children and other dogs it depends on their chemistry. He can be a bit of a bully to dogs at times. He goes potty on walks and several times a day during the day in his designated spot in the back yard. but when he is stressed, he tends to take it off a bit.
I was thinking of a budget of $ up to 3,000.

Trial to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law

Topics posted on the information board.
Please see if you are interested.
Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs living in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.
https://www.change.org/p/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E4%BA%BA%E3%81%8C%E5%A4%96%E5%9B%BD%E7%B1%8D%E3%82%92%E5%8F%96%E5%BE%97%E3%81%97%E3%81%9F%E9%9A%9B-%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%9B%BD%E7%B1%8D%E3%82%92%E4%BF%9D%E6%8C%81%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8B%E6%94%BE%E6%A3%84%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8B-%E9%81%B8%E3%81%B9%E3%82%8B%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%AB%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E3%81%9F%E3%82%81-%E7%A7%81%E3%81%9F%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AE%E9%81%8B%E5%8B%95%E3%82%92%E5%BF%9C%E6%8F%B4%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%81%95%E3%81%84This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I requested a tax return from a company called Mayumi Ozaki Accounting Office.
However, I paid the money but still have not received it back.
I have been able to contact them by email for a little while, but nothing has happened.
Please let me know if you have any information about this company.

I
think it means that the Tax Return Refund has not yet been paid.
If your income is W - 2, the IRS will examine your income and the time between
the examination of your documents and the Refund is short, - 2
3 weeks after you file your return.
If you are doing your own work and have depreciation, for example,
it may take as long as 6 months for the IRS to review your application, so please understand that
you will not receive your Refund immediately in all cases.
See Where's My Refund? on the IRS website.
https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp
If there is a problem with your tax return, it depends on when you file your return. If you filed your return by April 18, you should have already received a
notice from the IRS, so you can check your refund
on the IRS website and if it shows that your return has been received and is still under review, then you can determine that
there is no problem with your return. I think.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Procedures required by DMV when returning to Japan

May I ask a question about the procedures required by the DMV when I return to Japan?
I will be returning to Japan this month. I have already been issued an international driver's license, but I don't know if there are any procedures required by the DMV for a U.S. driver's license after that.
Is there anything I need to do about my US driver's license when I return to Japan ? Also, do I need to change my address ?
If I change my address to Japan, I am worried that my international license will be revoked.
If anyone has any information, it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Souvenirs for accompanying students

Thanks for taking a look.
I am relocating to Silicon Valley next year with my husband.
My husband has been there before me and has received a lot of support from local colleagues and neighbors
so I am planning to prepare a gift to thank him for that and to say hello to him.
My husband has told me that
・ cigarettes ( requests from colleagues )
・ Japanese character stationery ( same as above )
・ Japanese souvenirs ( Japanese towel etc )
but are there any other things ! that you were happy to receive?
Currently, I am thinking of
・ high-class soup stock or tea
・ sprinkles
・ saran wrap
・ source of hot spring water
・ Japanese or Western sweets ( things you can get at a department store Items that can be procured )
・ Instant noodles ( May be hard to find locally, but not suitable as souvenirs ? )
・ Retort foods ( Same as above )
etc.
We think the first step is the most important when greeting someone, so please let us know if you have any advice ! or if you have any suggestions for the above items … that you think are not suitable.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Hello.
You are a wonderful wife to have prepared so many things for your husband.Some food items are not allowed, and people here are vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and other organic oriented people Some amino acids in soup stock are not allowed, or meat extract in cup ramen noodles.
The sure thing is tea-based products and sweets.
Kit Kat and other green tea flavors are appreciated.
Other teas are also appreciated, and drip coffee is great because we don't have it here.
Stationery items also do not use pencils or erasers here ( just a squishy erase with a pen ).
Maybe a cute notepad or masking tape would be nice.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think they will be pleased with the luxury furikake, it doesn't take up much space and lasts a long time. !
I think it would be good to have some delicious flavored nori (seaweed in a can), since we don't buy them here.
Just one thing. Saran wrap is usually available at Daiso.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Extreme care must be taken when it comes to food, as many items are prohibited from being brought into the country. Importation of anything of animal origin is prohibited. Even plant-derived items, such as seeds and items that may harbor insects, must be quarantined. Baked goods ( such as rice crackers, cookies, etc. ) do not seem to be a problem, but fresh confections may be a problem. ( Japanese confectionery stores can be found in Silicon Valley. )
Japanese stationery seems to be appreciated because of its good quality. If the family has children ( Japanese ), Japanese comic books, characters, DVDs, etc. would also be appreciated. If the recipient is an American, small Japanese souvenirs ( such as dolls, wallets, scarves, etc. ) are also likely to be appreciated.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Nice to meet you.
Just to be frank, I would like to take the practical test at the DMV in San Francisco, is there anyone who is kind enough to accompany me ?
I am thinking of 4/7 or 4/8 as my schedule.
We can provide a rental car.
We can pay you some compensation, or you can have a meal at a restaurant, etc.
I would appreciate it if you could contact me as soon as possible so that I can discuss this with my roommates and business associates.

How do you feel about living here ?
Any information would be appreciated. Any information would be appreciated.

I live in Sunnyvale.
There are many beautiful parks, with Cupertino next door. There is also a lot of playground equipment for children. Of course, there are tennis courts.
For knitting, Joann, michael is nearby.
Marukai and other supermarkets are easily accessible, and the Saturday farmer's market is fun.
The garbage separation is not very tolerant or there are a lot of non-recyclable items, which I think is a waste of money.It is relatively quiet and safe, but there are some families who sometimes play loud music.

Hi, I am a student living in Cupertino. The area around here is home to people of various ethnic backgrounds, and there are many different supermarkets. I think it is very comfortable to live here because there are relatively many Japanese supermarkets, Chinese and Korean supermarkets, and restaurants in the area. I also think it is relatively safe and secure.
As I do not have a car, it is difficult for me to go out for fun, and I sometimes feel that it is boring. The tennis court in front of Dianza College is used by many people every day, and I am sure you will make friends easily.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
