nuiloamama, netsurf

Thanks for the reference. Thank you very much.
I checked with the post office staff, but they said that in my case there is no way to check because there is no tracking number.
I was relieved that the package arrived smoothly so far, but I will make sure to send it with tracking from next time.

I send almost daily to Japan by First Class package International Service due to my work, and it usually takes about 2 weeks to arrive.
Tracking is also available. However, from here until it arrives in Japan, it is tracked by USPS tracking.
After it arrives in Japan, you can track it on either the USPS site or the Japan Post site.
I also do everything online, including payment, and just paste the slip and send it, so when I go to the post office
I just put the package in the drop-off area, so I don't have to wait in long lines, and everything is left in the mail, including the tracking number.
Do you have a receipt or something from when you sent your First Class package International Service ？ I think the number is on there....
I hope you get there as soon as possible.

Did you get a receipt ？
As #NetSurf said,
the receipt also has a tracking number.

With tracking number or without, all first class now have tracking numbers.
If you go to the USPS website, it says tracking only in the US, but when I sent to Japan before, I could also confirm customs and delivery completion in Japan.
I suggest you check your receipt.

Thank you all for all the information

This time I sent my documents through a service called First class Large Envelopes. I did not fill out the customs declaration form 2976-R because I was told it was not necessary. I have the receipt, but unfortunately I don't have the tracking number.

Thank you for all your advice and information
As expected, I've given up and am thinking of resending it!

Bank Of America is a bank
so of course you can send money online to Japan.

If there is another way to send money online that is not a bank, and can be done quickly and cheaply,
that's what everyone should want to use in the future.

If you have experience in being able to send money quickly and cheaply, even if it is not in bitcoin.

I would be happy if you could share it here.

In the past 2 － 3 times, I sent money to my cousin in Japan using the "xoom" system. I had to pay for my relative's funeral offering.
The fee was cheap and I didn't have any problem.
In addition to the transfer fee, the recipient also has to pay （ an exchange fee ） since the money is transferred in dollars and received in yen, I seem to remember.
By the way, after living in Hawaii for 25 years, I now make all my payments online and my rent is set up so that the bank sends checks directly to me, so I don't even remember when I last used a check or cash. I can't remember when I last used a check or cash.

I have bank accounts （ Mitsubishi UFJ Bank and Citibank ） in both Japan and the US and usually do Wire Transfer between Japan and the US online. To send money from the US to Japan, I send it online from Citibank, but Citi has ridiculously high exchange fees, so I have a dollar account at Mitsubishi and send money in dollars. In this case, Citi charges $ 35 and Mitsubishi charges 1,500. After remittance, I transfer the money from the dollar account to the yen account, but the exchange is at the TTS rate and there is no charge. For remittances from Japan to the U.S., the money is sent directly from the yen account at Mitsubishi to the dollar account at Citi. In this case, Mitsubishi will charge you 1,000 and Citi will charge you $ 10, and the exchange is at the TTB rate. The whole procedure is completed online. After trying various methods, I think this method has the lowest exchange fee ／ charge. As a side note, I always take care to keep the total amount under 1,000,000 yen, because if the remittance between Japan and the U.S. is over 1,000,000 yen, the Japanese bank may report it to the tax office and the tax office may contact me.

Where do you get the ＄ 300 per child ？ social security? C&C? on tax return ？ is there an income limit ？ if you know, I would love to know.


Topix ：

I moved to Hawaii as a single mother with 2 children and no one I knew.

You mentioned that your children are 3 and 5 years old, and it may be difficult to travel to the US with children that age unless you have a lot of money or some kind of support (family or relatives living there, etc.).

In Japan, there are many free or low-cost extended day care and childcare services, but in Hawaii, there are no such convenient services, and even if there were, they are impossibly expensive.

Parents must always pick up their children from school, and neighbors will report you if you leave children of that age at home.

I guess it depends on what your job is, but if you are a business owner, investment income, or work from home, you can live with children that age without any problems.

Congratulations on winning the GC ！

If your children are 3 and 5, preschool will be the most expensive
for both of them ～
For pre, check the fees at wakiki community center or other websites. （ I know it's outrageously expensive right now, but I'd hold off until they go to public preschool. Be aware that the school you go to depends on where you live ）

#20 green is right, you can't get any assistance since you haven't paid taxes in the US for 5 years since you got GC.
However, PACH Hawaii can send you a list of licensed babysitters. https://www.patchhawaii.org/

18 years ago, I met a very nice Nepalese and Mongolian woman who could not speak English very well, but she was a very nice person. I had a very nice Nepalese and Mongolian woman watch my children with hers for ＄ 4 an hour for a sitter's fee. （ She was the wife of a UH and university researcher and professor ）
I think it would be
cheaper to leave the two sitters at PACH until they attend kindergarten.
Of course, you will need to pick up and drop off your children until they are in 5th ～ 6th grade.
At that time, you can apply to the school to send your child to school by bus.

Children cannot go to school unless they have a TBtest （ injection ）.
If a child has a fever or is absent from school, a parent or guardian must be present
or the child will be treated as a （ serious ） criminal .
It is safe to allow children to stay alone from the age of 12.

I know it's a lot of work, but if it doesn't work out, you can go back to Japan
and we can work it out.
You have been given a chance, why don't you give it a try ？.

Information regarding the Green Card Lottery winners regarding government assistance for their children
is explained below.

2021 Child Tax Credit and Advance Child Tax Credit Payments

https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/2021-child-tax-credit-and-advance-child-tax-credit-payments-topic-c-calculation-of-the-2021-child-tax-credit

You can receive a payment called the Child Tax Credit from the State （ IRS ）.
If your child is 5 years old or younger, you can receive ＄ 3 ， 600 ． 00 per child, and
from 6 to 17 years old, you can receive ＄ 3 ， 000 ． 00.

You must reside in the U.S. and your income must be less than
＄ 112 ， 500 C$ (annual income) as a single father.

It would be difficult to receive the money this year due to time constraints, but it is possible by entering the US this year
and making your 2021 tax return by April 15 next year.
Of course, the Child Tax Credit still exists after that date, so you can receive it by filing an income tax return
.

You must be a permanent resident of the U.S., file an income tax return, and your child must live with you
and have an active Social Security number.

I received three months rent assistance this time. （ No electricity ）

I am wondering （ I heard that 3 of my friends got a year's rent and electricity. ） but I wonder if the amount paid is different for each individual ？
a year's worth is a pretty generous payment ？ and electricity too.
Moreover, since the budget limit is fixed, if it is not a uniform payment, there will be a sense of unfairness ？

polygon, if you already own your own property, the value of your home has gone up considerably due to the rising real estate prices ？


Enough, even the middle class is benefiting from the economy （ lol ）

. More than half of Hawaii's population is poor and can't benefit from the economy because they can't afford real estate.
There are definitely more people less fortunate than you, so you should think about that when you speak.

I bought my current place just a few years ago, so it hasn't gone down, but

some are selling for the same price as they were then.

Instead of worrying about us middle class, mik, you are probably looking for a titled property.

You are more likely to buy a house around Million.

Poverty is self-inflicted. It's because you choose that kind of profession. Some people in their 40s locally are already PayOff.

It's probably a matter of foresight. I think the homeless are those who only thought about today without thinking about the future.

[Instead of worrying about us middle class, mik, you are more likely to be looking for a titled property.

I'd much rather you buy a house around MILLION dollars]


No, I am not wealthy or middle class. I am still young.
Affordable is for these relatively young state residents who are looking to buy property in Hawaii for the first time.
It is important to understand that Affordable is not a right that can be used by the middle class ） (those who already own real estate) because they do not have enough money to purchase a property.

Also, according to the current Hawaii real estate transaction data, there are an overwhelming number of cases where the buyer must offer a higher price than the seller offered in order to win the bid. （ More than 70% of all ） This is nothing but evidence that property owners are benefiting financially. Those who can't afford to buy a house and are living in a rental property just keep paying rent day after day and will never own the property forever.


[Poverty is self-inflicted.
One point that caught my attention was this statement, but it's a big mistake.
Anyone can be HOMELESS in this society. （ It is a little bit dark ）
For example, no one could have predicted in advance that this pandemic would prevent Japanese tourists from coming to Hawaii. ？
Many people who were engaged in the tourism business with Japanese people are suffering now.
Also, there are people who used to run tour companies for Japanese tourists who are now bankrupt and homeless because of this. （ I know someone ）
I wonder if he deserved it ？

You should start by developing a heart of compassion. I think Jesus would be surprised to see your writing.

I think it is very good to enjoy the present.

But it is important to live not only for the present but also for the future.

Like the ant and the grasshopper, if you are prepared, you may be able to get through the hard winter happily, but if you are not prepared, you may experience difficulties that you never thought you would.

Also, working hard （ and being diligent ） is surely a cool thing to do. （ However, I do not agree with working too hard to the point of damaging your body ）

And to laugh at someone who is working hard is definitely not cool.

It would be nice to be able to think, "I'll do my best, too," without laughing at those who are working hard.

Sunset, thank you for your prompt post.
Overpayment occurred during UI payment.

Yesterday I received another paper from UI with the amount of Peuc payment, 13 weeks. The date was from February when I applied for it. However, my account has not been credited yet. This amount included $300 for the posted amount.
Peuc Peuc2's payment period is calculated to be 13 weeks each, for a total of 26 weeks.
These 26 weeks are correct from Feb to 7/31
when my Peuc is stopped.
The letter from UI the other day was for the amount
paid from 8/1 through the end of next year's year, not including the $300 for the accrual.
I am surprised to see the letter because I have not applied for UI from 8/1 yet.

My guess is that I will get a
letter from UI soon for 13 weeks of Peuc 2.

Thank you Sunset for always sharing information.
Thank you for sharing information with us.
