Today, a woman we know who lives in the same condo asked us to come and see her because she has been having trouble with electricity for several days, and when my husband went to see her, he found the room in poor condition, with two small dogs and feces and urine left inside the room amidst a garbage dump. She said that her phone and cell phone had stopped working, and it was assumed that she was behind in paying her utility bills and other bills. She used to be a very neat and tidy person, but I believe that she has become unable to take care of herself due to her age. We believe that she is inconvenienced by the lack of electricity, and we would like to know where we can contact in order to receive government assistance for the elderly. I believe that there is a terrible stench coming from the person in question and that he/she is in need of elder care support, etc.

A woman who used to live next door to me did the same thing
and since it was a house and not a condo, I couldn't talk to the property manager, I couldn't contact my relatives, etc. as they became more aware
and I did some research and contacted them here.
I'll put up the site.

Sorry for the late reply. It took a while for this consultation topic to be reflected on Vivinavi after I posted it, and in the meantime, I had a lot of problems, so I called 911 and asked for advice. Then I found out that the police and fire department (救急) had a history of several cases where she had collapsed on the road and was taken to the hospital, and that they had tried to support her from the state, but she was adamantly refusing to do so. She trusts us and listens to us, so we got between her and the staff sent by the state, and today she finally convinced us to accept state support. We were having trouble knowing how far to intervene since they are not our relatives, but we were relieved that we managed to bridge the gap to the support group. I will keep the information you gave me in case something similar happens again in the future. Thank you very much.

About Green Card Application

I am planning to apply for a marriage based green card in the US.
I went to the SSN office today and applied for my social security card. I told them that I wanted to change my name to → First name+Middle name(maiden name)+Last name(husband's last name), but they told me that at this stage I cannot put my middle name, so I should come back with it to change it when my green card comes.
If I am due to receive my social security card in 2 weeks and then apply for my green card, if I put the social security number I got on the application form ( my new last name without my middle name ) and my green card without my middle name Is it possible that my green card will also be without my middle name?
If that is the case, I am thinking of saying no social security number on the form.

I didn't have a number when I applied for my green card because my SSN was made after I received my green card.
Same thing, I got it by marriage. It may be different than already having one and not being able to get in, but in my case I had no SSN.

I had SSN card with Japanese name because I had SSN before marriage and I kept my SSN and applied for green card with
Japanese surname ( maiden name ) in my middle name and received green card with First Name+Middle name[(maiden name +Last name(My husband's surname ))
I received my Green Card !
After that, when I ADD my name to my husband's bank account, I changed my SSN name to the same as my Green Card, but it was easy to change.

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? ! 🙇‍ ♀ ️

I am a green card holder.
I am applying for a re-entry permit for my child to go to school in Japan. ?
I would appreciate it if you could give me a reference of the reason for the application and the period of time stated in the application.
I asked my lawyer to help me and it cost me $1500 not including the application fee. Since the paperwork was simple, I am wondering if I should ask an attorney or apply myself.
I am hoping to get advice from someone who has experience.
Thank you in advance.

One question. You wrote that your child is going to a Japanese school
Does this mean that your child is not a US citizen but a green card like you ??

Ten years ago,
my son applied for a Reentry permit to go to college.
The reason for applying was to attend school.
He got a permit for 2 years and then extended it for 1 year.
He could have extended it for another year, but he did not apply for it because he had decided to go to graduate school at that time.
He resigned himself to the fact that he would have no choice if it was taken away from him, and
My husband obtained citizenship in case it was taken away.
My husband became a sponsor and got his green card again
Strangely enough, we lived in Japan for 3 years and came back to Hawaii twice a year, and we have been able to keep our citizenship without being blamed by immigration.
We applied for the permit by ourselves both times.

Thank you for your quick response.
I guess we all think the same way. I am relieved.
I also decided to stay in Hawaii in case of emergency.
Since I haven't decided which country I will be based in, I decided to forgo citizenship so that I can continue to live in Japan as before.
I still feel that I can apply for re-entry by myself, right?
It is very difficult because there are many things I don't understand, but I am relieved to hear an experienced person's opinion.
Thank you very much for your valuable opinion. ‼︎

Payment for the Clinic

Question

I mailed the clinic payment with a check, but it has been about 10 days and it still has not been debited when I look at my bank account. I called the clinic and asked if they received the check properly, but they said they don't know since they are asking the Billing company to do so, but they will inquire next week.
How long does it usually take for the check to be reflected ? I am worried because it has been too long since I paid by mail.

I think it is up to the accountant working at the clinic to decide when the clinic will put the check they receive into their account.
I have paid various clinics with checks, and some were very slow, such as the one that was debited more than 2 months after I mailed it to them.
I was also concerned and called them, but the person who answered the phone gave me his name and said not to worry, as the system has recorded that you called me. The point is, if they have a record that you are willing to pay and that you have properly sent the check, I don't think the clinic will impose any penalty on you.
If you called, please note the date and time of the call and the name of the person who answered the phone so that if you do not receive the mail, you can prove that you intended to pay and that you checked with the clinic.

I am not a fan of paying by check mail either.
If you receive a bill and the clinic does not have an online credit card payment portal, you can call the clinic directly and ask if you can verbally pay by credit card over the phone ? and they will accept the card payment over the phone. Some clinics will accept credit card payment over the phone.

Thank you A. !
I see that it has taken you 2 months. I am even more worried because I have heard that this clinic had a trouble with Billing campany from a doctor directly long time ago.
I should avoid paying by mail with a check as much as possible.

I think it will take time - I try to pay online or call the clinic and ask to pay by credit card, but if the payment is made and you cry, you will get another bill, so you should be fine!

About Tax Returns

I have heard that if your profit from Uber Eats or Lifts is
less than $ 25,000 per year,
you do not have to file a
tax return for the following tax year.
I am wondering how this is actually the case.
Please share your experiences and what you have heard.

> I overheard information that you don't have to file a declaration.
It's a simple American system, but not a good or bad one.
Without an SSN, you can't register with Uber or Lyft, and
since filing a W9 is mandatory, the income is automatically reported to the IRS once the 1099 is issued by Uber or Lyft.
And if the income earner does not report it, the unreported surcharge and penalty will come around the time you forget.
The IRS is scarier than an immigration officer, so there is no way to misrepresent your income.

W2 is not issued for less than $400, so it is usually less than $400.

I have never used Uber or Lyft, so it would be nice to hear from someone with experience.

I was told how to get a criminal history certificate at the Japanese consulate.
It was a long time ago and I don't remember which department, but I think they can tell you if you inquire.
I remember that when I ordered it, I was told that it could take up to 2 months if it was busy.

You can apply from Hawaii, but if you are entering the country as a tourist, you may be in trouble if your reason for entering the country is false.
I have heard that military personnel can get a VISA through the military earlier than usual, so I can't say for sure, but if you expect to wait more than 6 months between the time you apply and the time you get your VISA, you don't have to wait until January. ☺ By the way, I applied for a 10 year green card right after I got married because of the Corona disaster, but it took me 2 years to get it, so I got a 10 year green card from the beginning.

Kan, it depends on the immigration officer who does it. Sometimes they issue a conditional one because it's still less than 2 years old administratively on the date you apply, and sometimes they issue a 10 year one because
okay, fine. So saying it will take a long time to get it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a 10-year one. This is all luck.

Kapolei pet hospital in Kapolei has a Japanese vet.
I think there are some in the Waikiki area, but the only one I know of is in Kapolei.
I don't know what a reasonable price is, so I can't answer your question.
We are in a care club at VCA, so vaccinations and such are free
I don't know what the market price is. I don't know what it costs.
