Hi all

It's tax return time and I was wondering if you know of any accountants who will do returns as cheaply as possible ？
Any tax accountant or individual is fine.

I know.

I had it done about 5 years ago at my accountant's place and received an additional tax letter for about $4000.
I went to the accountant with the letter and he told me not to pay it
He filed an amended return without paying any additional money and I got about $1000 back.
I remember buying cream puffs to thank him for the $1000 or so I got back.

I am currently on a student visa, but my visa is due to expire this year, and I have heard that I can stay here legally as long as my I-20 is valid.
I would like to know if you have stayed in Japan with an I-20 after your visa expired （ and how long you stayed ） or if you know an immigration attorney who is familiar with F-1 visas

Renewing a Japanese passport after obtaining a U.S. passport

I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ？
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay
even after obtaining US citizenship?

I'd like to know how to get a US passport without citizenship. Please tell me.

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

You can't get an American passport without citizenship.
It's a different dimension from the passport you originally had and maintained with Japanese citizenship. You can't be trusted because you keep saying random things.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.

It doesn't have to be difficult: NON CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is just an ordinary traffic violation. Speeding, jaywalking, passing under a certain traffic light, stopping at a certain point, and so on.
On the other hand, a CORRECTABLE VIOLATION is a ticket for a light violation, a cracked windshield, or any other vehicle defect that cannot be prevented, but you can fix the defect and go to the CHP to prove that it was fixed. No violation points will be given. However, there is a $25 fee.

From Green Card Application to Obtaining a Green Card

I just recently applied for a green card by marriage through an attorney.
For those who have applied for a green card by marriage in recent years, how long did it take to get the work permit, travel permit, etc. ？
I am currently on OPT, but am concerned because it expires on 2/29.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, you are correct. Of course I have already informed my attorney of the approximate expected time frame, but I wanted to post this to ask about the experiences of those who have actually recently applied for a green card themselves. Sorry for the lack of words.

I joined the family in the summer of 2022, received my marriage certificate and immediately started the application process.
Eleven months later, my green card and work permit arrived at my house at the same time.
We were also supposed to receive our travel permits after fingerprinting, but we still have not received them.
We were also asked for additional documents due to incomplete paperwork （ That was a mistake on their part and there was no incomplete paperwork, but our lawyer provided us with documents to that effect ） so the process stopped there for about 2 months.
If nothing like that happened, we could get it within 6 months to a year ？.

We were US citizens ourselves and the wife's was F1.
We joined last March and applied straight away and finally received our EAD card and AP in November.

By the way, I got the interview notice right after that. I finished the interview last week and now I am waiting for the result.
Later we didn't go through a lawyer, so I hope it comes soon for Topi's side.

People leave not only because they believe in you or not
there are many reasons

I have been finding it troublesome to hang out with people lately
it's not that I have any bad reasons
I honestly feel that I have no reason to hang out with them
I have left people I have been hanging out with due to inertia
I only spend time with people I enjoy

I don't enjoy casual conversations with people I enjoy
I think it's time to reset

I think it's time to reset.

I was able to spend my holidays slowly
I started to think about starting something new
I started to learn a lot
I got to know people who share the same values

I only share things I can share

At my age, no one fits everything
We only share the parts that fit each other

I feel very comfortable

So I have only a few friends that I can call friends
but I like them this much I've come to realize that I like it this way.
