Is there anyone here who has the same ?
Perpetual Deposit Notice with a few confirmations on your account, please access the link. I received this email two days ago.
I received this email two days ago, and today I remembered and read it again and found that the deadline was today. I clicked on the link, but I had to disable my computer security to open it, and while I was trying to figure out how to do that, I realized that it was a fake email.
Do you think I can be sure it is a fake email because the sender's email address does not look like a bank ? I am puzzled because this is the first time I have received such an email from someone claiming to be a Japanese bank.

I think you should contact Mitsubishi UFJ Bank directly.

I have received
from the USPS post office with a strange email address.

If you use a VPN to view Japanese websites, you may receive junk mail from Japanese sites

I think it's a *fake*.
I don't think banks can terminate accounts on their own, whether they are perpetual accounts or frozen accounts, so if you have such an account, I think it is safe to contact the bank here.

I'm not quite sure where to call the bank, and I don't want to email them, but I don't seem to request anything by email. I certainly don't use the bank's online banking and would not have given my e-mail address to the bank. Since I don't use net banking, I am a little worried that I won't be able to check it until my next trip back to Japan. However, I think I might be able to find out if anything is wrong because sometimes my father deposits my allowance and I don't think I would be able to deposit it if it was frozen or cancelled.

Dual Nationals Traveling to the U.S. ・ Departure and Entry

Problem / Need advice

  • 2025/01/07 03:27

My wife is a dual citizen of Japan and the U.S. We are getting married in early February&We are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
・ Booked round trip ticket with Japanese passport information
・ Japanese passport with married name
・ US passport with maiden name

I think the following concerns exist in this situation. ?
In this situation, is it even possible to leave the country in the first place ?

For outbound travel
・ When leaving Japan, use Japanese passport (check in & at passport control)
< ・ Entering US using US passport (different family name but still allowed to enter US ? \ \}

Return
・ Check-in using Japanese passport
・ Departure using US passport (at this time, you can leave Japan even though your last name is different from your ticket ? )
・ Use Japanese passport when entering Japan

I wish I had realized this earlier, but I didn't have much time, 5 weeks before my flight, and I checked the US consulate's website, I wish I had realized this earlier, but I have only 5 weeks until my flight, and when I check the US consulate website, it states that passport renewal usually takes 6-8 weeks, so I will not make it in time.

Worst case scenario, I will have to consider changing the name on the ticket side, so if anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it if you could advise me.

If your wife has a Japanese passport and the airline ticket is in her name, she should be able to enter and leave Japan with a round-trip Japanese passport ? I don't think you need to be concerned about an American passport. However, you will need to apply for ESTA in that case.

Incidentally, the U.S. allows dual citizenship, so you can use your Japanese passport to leave Japan and your U.S. passport to enter the U.S. However, in Japan, you must choose between the two if you are over 23 years old, so if you use your Japanese passport to return home, the information about your entry to the U.S. will not be included. If you use a Japanese passport to go back to Japan, you may be suspected of various things because it will not contain information about your entry into the U.S. If your wife is over 23, I think it is safe to use a round-trip Japanese passport.
If you want to use an American passport for the round trip, I think you should change your name on the airline ticket to your maiden name. I can imagine that it will be troublesome when you check in for your flight out of Japan and when you check in for your flight back home.

Your wife is
① a Japanese citizen but has acquired US citizenship
② your parents are Japanese and your wife was born in the US and has dual citizenship

the response depends on which of the above you choose.

① In the case of , as AG said, it is not allowed in Japan, so you need to choose
either one, but there is no problem if you enter and leave Japan with a Japanese passport.
Please choose in the near future.

② In the case of , my daughter and son were born in the US and are US citizens, but I am a Japanese citizen, so I have Japanese citizenship as well.

When I renew my Japanese passport, I am told to choose it softly. When I renew my Japanese passport, I am told to choose softly, but I am not forced to do so.
My daughter is married,
for example,
her current surname is (Itami)
our surname is (Haneda)
my maiden name is (Narita)
on her American passport.
And I have been to Japan without any problem. And I plan to keep my dual citizenship.

I can book flights under either name on my passport.
Both passports will be presented at the airline counter in both the US and Japan.

At customs on outbound flight
Departing Japan → Japanese passport
Arriving in Hawaii → American passport

At customs on return flight
Departing USA → No customs, airline
Arrive in Japan → Japanese passport

If you are concerned that your passport name may be different,
you may want to carry a copy of your family register with you just in case ?

<4467> I think the worst thing you can do is
apply for ESTA while you are a US citizen.
If you check
No, you are lying to the U.S. government and it will be very disadvantageous.

In the meantime, why don't you contact the airline ??

>Thank you AG and min
for your answers.
My wife's pattern was born in the US, so she is ② the one you refer to in your pattern, min.

I was worried, so I decided to apply for ESTA, but then I got stuck on the very thing you pointed out and had to suspend the application.
I will use a copy of my family register as you pointed out, since my maiden name is correct in the U.S. even if my surname has changed.
Incidentally, I also checked with the airline company, but they replied that they could not make a decision.
The response was that there should be no particular problem, but it cannot be said with certainty that there is no problem, so if you are unsure, please decide on your nationality and apply for esta and go as a Japanese. If you are worried about it, decide your nationality and apply for esta and go as a Japanese.

Hi

Let me make one correction.
My maiden name is not correct for my US passport,
it means that my maiden name is not a problem.
My daughter has been married for 3 years and I was told that changing it is not a problem at the next renewal.

As long as the name on the plane ticket and either passport is the same, you can board the plane.
However, you must have both passports.

When you go through immigration in the U.S.,
both of you should proceed to the immigration counter together.
Since your wife is entering the U.S. as an American, she only needs to present her U.S. passport and no airline tickets, etc.

When leaving the U.S.,
present both passports at the airline company counter.
And at the baggage checkpoint, you will need to present your passport, but
go through with your U.S. passport.

Basically, Japanese passport for entering and leaving Japan
American passport for entering and leaving America.

I wish you a wonderful wedding, honeymoon, and trip 💒.

I own a restaurant in Hawaii.
I just started last year.
We are a fast food restaurant with a large menu and we are having a hard time training newcomers.
We would like to have a central kitchen so that everyone can have the same taste
right away.
We don't know what kind of movement we should make at the beginning...
Please let us know if you have any information.
Thank you very much.

KIKO is right.
As long as we are recruiting at that salary,
we will only get people at that salary level. If you keep messing around patiently, I think it's fine as it is.

If that's not possible, systemize ( mechanize ) the operation like a chain restaurant and spend money on it, and it will be solved.

If you don't have that money, then create an operations system that allows you to mechanize your employees.

Are you looking for a central kitchen location ?
or do you have a central kitchen now
and are you looking for personnel there ?

To make sure everyone gets the same taste, I think you should create a manual
.

It is also necessary to simplify the menu. ? After all, if there are many menus
, it would be difficult to make the same taste.

Maybe we should divide the menu into popular and less popular items
and make the less popular items
the monthly specials, for example.

I have never run a restaurant myself.

If you know of a place in Honolulu, preferably near Ala Moana or Downtown, where I can get my watch battery changed, please let me know. The battery in my watch that I use for work has run out and I need to get it replaced ASAP, but the watch shop on Pensacola St. that I usually go to is on vacation until 12/14, so I am in a bind. It is a simple watch with water resistance.

I have no problem requesting more than a week off when I'm part time and have no benefits ? I reported 3 months before the expected date.
Depending on the size of the company, busy season, etc., there are even times when my co-workers and bosses are not happy with me ? If taking a vacation would cause problems for the company, I would be willing to quit.

When I reported it to my boss, he looked at me with a little disapproval, but I told him that I would do something about it and he agreed, but I am worried that it will be a great inconvenience.

You mean in Hawaii ( within the US ).
I think there are not many thoughtful people who report three months before their schedule, but unless it is a very small company, everyone takes their vacations without hesitation. I think only Japanese people can't take a vacation because they wonder if it would be a nuisance.

Kinder & Elemental's Afterschool Program

Problem / Need advice

  • 2024/11/11 09:58

I am gathering information on a kinder to be enrolled in next year. The location will be in Town.

The afterschool program is offered by the YMCA or the A + program by Kama'aina Kids, depending on the school, is there any difference in which program is better, etc. ?

Most of the town's A + seems to be waitlisted at popular schools, is it difficult to get in from Kinder ? since there seems to be a waiting list, will I be able to get in by the time I get to Grade 1 if I keep getting on the waitlist?

If I can't get into A +, I would like to be able to take part in the paid art and dance programs at the school, but I wonder if this is also difficult since there are so many participants compared to the capacity ?

I have parents who both work. I would like to know how you manage to pick up your children and work if you cannot get into A + ( if you have no relatives who can support you ). A + .


Schools I am considering are Liholiho, Ali'olani, Hokulani, Waialae, Wilson, Aina Haina, Waikiki, etc in GE.
Best regards.

My son went to Wilson until this year.

I think there is a priority of both parents working or attending school.
I was lucky enough to get him into A+ from Kinder, but
in 3rd grade we switched to nearby Wisley Church.
(They pick you up at school. Pick-up is at Church)

The reason is that
they pick me up and drop me off for my lessons at the commpark.
The thing is that they also keep the children during spring break, etc. and it was cheaper than the YMCA.

I think some schools have other means besides school A+, Kama'aina Kids, and YMCA depending on the school.

A+ at Waialae is on a first-come, first-served basis. Every year, the school sends out information about registration, so at the time registration opens, just be on standby and you will get in first.

The nice thing about Waialae is that the A+ staff is employed by the school ( not affiliated with any other ) so you don't have to travel, they see you until 5:30, and they see you during part of summer break and fall break. The cafeteria and school grounds are separated, and exercise and indoor time are organized, which seems quite fun.

If you mean GE, we recommend that you submit your GE as soon as possible, because if the school is slow in responding to your acceptance, it is possible that the first year's application is over.

Wai'alae has a unique curriculum and may not be suitable for families who want their children to study hard, so it would be a good idea to gather information on that as well. It is well received by families who like hula, music, and the natural environment of Hawaii.

Thanks for the information ! I didn't know there was an after school program at your church. Transportation to and from the lessons at CommuPark is a registration-based activity that you do at the park ? That would be helpful. As for the schools A+, Kama'aina Kids, and YMCA, am I correct in understanding that they are all on school property and do not require transportation ??

I understand that Waialae is a fun place for kids including afterschool !
In other schools, do they have to move for A + ・ ・ ? In every school, I see children playing together on the grounds. I was wondering if that was A + because I see them all playing together on the grounds.
