I had a citizenship interview last August, and after I applied for citizenship, I was asked to show a tax return because I got divorced, and after I passed the reading and writing history test, I was told to bring it back in a month, and no matter how long I waited, no letter came.
There has been a change since my interview last year, I have remarried and am now pregnant.
Since I submitted divorce papers last time, I am wondering if this time I will need to submit a marriage certificate and tax return for my new husband ？ I would like to complete the citizenship interview next time, so please advise me if you know what documents I need to bring in detail. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for a lawyer for citizenship, please let me know. I am pregnant and need an escort because I am not feeling well, but I can't get in touch with the immigration office, so I don't know what to expect. Please help me.

Reintegration from unemployment

I know that at one time, the topics here were full of topics related to unemployment insurance, but recently these topics have disappeared, and I am sure that everyone has successfully returned to society.
Some of my friends have chosen to return to Japan, and I bow down to those who are still working hard in Hawaii under these circumstances.
I know that many of you are struggling with new workplaces, unfamiliar environments, and not earning as much as you would like.
I am sure that the situation will continue to be unstable, but I would like to do my best based on the efforts of those who are in the same situation.

We are always looking for people to join our team
I am amazed at how fast people who were living on unemployment insurance are getting hired and quitting
I know there are many situations for people who say they can't get rehired, but
I wonder if the fact that they still can't get rehired means that they are dependent on some kind of help and no longer have the desire to work like they used to. I wonder if they are still dependent on some kind of help and have lost the will to work as before
I wonder if the word "career" will lose its meaning in the future
I wonder how the way of working will change.

#8 Mr. Live Hard

＞ All the condos at the Hupang site are for low income ？ It doesn't seem to be Area Median Income (AMI).

That's a given ？
It's a measure to get a building permit from the city authorities, so it can't be all units.
All of the condos are leased, and some of them are leased condos that could have been built by addressing them to lower-income families.

The Corona Disaster just raised the base annual income for low-income people in 2022 due to rising prices.
The authorities have only re-estimated the minimum income for a Waikiki, Hawaii resident. You are still in a low income bracket. You can't live in Hawaii with that kind of income. ？
I have lived in Waikiki for 10 years and I can't live on that kind of income.

Please do not reply to any more of my comments as I have gone too far off topic.
Topi, I am very sorry for going too far sideways.

Hello. I live in Hawaii.

If you could live on $70,000 for 18 months, your mortgage is over

only management fee, or only a few hundred dollars a month like management fee in a room share.

It would either be.

＞ so that means you can live on 70,000 for 42 months ？ ？ ？
how much is that? Even if there is no lento, isn't it amazing ？?

One person said they can't send lithium batteries,
they don't want people in Hawaii to know that,
so they sent a 20% discount coupon instead.

Kame34,
I am glad you found this useful.
Payment and pickup are done at the store, but
I think it is better to check the stock in advance by phone.
In my case, I asked if they had Dyson V6 batteries ？ and they answered immediately, so
I think they have batteries for all major models.
If you live in town, the Nimitz store （ in Nimitz Liliha ・ next to the bakery ） would be convenient.

#1 Car Mr.

I am a Toyota owner and I too would recommend Toyota ！

I would just recommend a new car over a used car if you can.

Some people have had bad luck with used cars and ended up spending the amount of money they could have bought a new car if they had to send it in for repairs several times.

Corollas are very popular and parts are always available, but

they are so popular that

someone had a tire wheel stolen from a large condo in Waikiki and street parking in Kaimuki. There was a person.

I hope this helps.

I purchased mine from a used car dealer affiliated with a rental car company.
The cars are sold after being used as rental cars in the state of Hawaii.
I think the car has been maintained reasonably well when it was rented.
On the other hand, it has been used by many drivers, so it may have some rattles unexpectedly. After purchase, maintenance is taken to an authorized dealer. For your reference when you check it out.

If a woman goes to look at cars alone, she will be watched closely, so
it is always advisable to take someone with you who understands cars and English. The price of the same car can be different.

Extension of I94

I am considering abandoning my trip back to Japan in Corona.
However, my l94 days will expire in April. According to my research, I can extend my stay for up to 240 days if I apply for an extension with the immigration office. I consulted a lawyer and was told that it would cost me $1000 in fees, so I am thinking of doing it myself if I can do it.
Has anyone done this before? ？
Do I just fill out the necessary forms and mail them to the immigration office and then wait?
Thank you very much.

If I change the address of my bank account in the US to Japan, will there be any inconvenience ？
I will not be able to use my Debit card to make purchases from US sites such as eBay ？
If I don't use it, it might get frozen. I would like to use it about once every 6 months.

I now live in the US （ Hawaii ） so I use the Japanese mailbox service (jaddress.com). There is a similar mailbox service in the US, where you can get a US address and have your mail or package forwarded or scanned and have that information sent to you. For example, if you Google "personal mailbox mail forwarding service", the following will come up. Prices seem to vary depending on the service.
https://ipostal1.com/
https://www.anytimemailbox.com/
https://travelingmailbox.com/
You might want to check them out. If you plan to return to the U.S., it is very important to keep a good credit history （ because once you lose it, it is very troublesome to build it up again. ） So, I think you should consider it carefully.

Dear hawaii315, I have maintained accounts at both US (Citibank) and Japanese (Mitsubishi UFJ （ ）) banks for many years and have never had any inconvenience with the accounts themselves even though my address is outside the US. However, U.S. citizens and green card holders are required to file a tax return with the IRS no matter where they live in the world, and if they have an account with a balance of $10,000 or more outside the U.S., they are required to report it on Form 1040. They are also required to file a separate FinCEN Form 114 after filing their TAX Return. See below.
https://www.fincen.gov/report-foreign-bank-and-financial-accounts
In addition, Japanese banks require you to submit documents to the US IRS when you open an account. In addition, if a Wire Transfer is made between Japan and the U.S. and the amount is $10,000 or more, the bank will report it to the tax office, and the tax office will later investigate the account holder. （ There has never been any investigation on the U.S. side. ） These are all measures to prevent Money Laundering.

Thank you SJDummy for your valuable information.
It will be very helpful for me to decide where to live in the future.
I believe that the Japanese tax system and various matters regarding bank accounts will change more and more in the future, but I would like to avoid being subjected to extra taxes.

Thank you very much, hawaii4649-sama.
