Nice to meet you.
I have a question about driving school.
I have never driven in Japan and would like to attend school here, but I was wondering if you know of any schools around Mountain View, CA that speak Japanese ?.

At the SS office near my house, you can choose from Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and other
language conversion services, but you cannot find Japanese, so
if you need Japanese interpretation, tell the staff at the window you are called to and they can use telephone interpretation.

Change of Address at DMV

Problem / Need advice
#1

I am embarrassed to admit that this is a very rudimentary question, but I am looking for help.

I went to the DMV website to make the change, but there are two options for change of address
・ Driver's license or ID
・ Vehicle or Vessel
This is the same as the Vehicle or Vessel option. Driver's license or ID Vehicle or Vessel I was wondering if I should also select Vehicle or Vessel and change both ?
I was thinking in general that I could change the address on the DMV registration, so I am not sure, ?
Also, I will be changing my address for my car insurance later.

Just to give you some background,
we recently got married and are in the process of applying for a green card, but we don't plan on living together for a while due to our work schedules.
We consulted a lawyer and he told us to change our address registration for bank, DMV, car insurance, etc. to prepare for the green card interview.

By the way, my marriage partner does not have a car and driver's license, which sadly does not help much.
I would appreciate it if someone could answer my question when you have a chance. Thank you in advance.

The atmosphere of local schools varies considerably from school district to school district, even within the city of Los Angeles. Depending on the age and personality of your child, it may be better to have Japanese children in the local school, while some children may be fine without Japanese children at all.
As for weekday supplementary school, if you are from Japan, I think you can pass the entrance exam, but you need to check with the school whether there are any vacancies or not.

As a general rule, public schools are determined by the area of residence, as you mentioned, but there are cases where you can cross-border enrollment from outside the school district with Open Enrollment.

I have heard that Glendale's Japanese immersion program, which #3 mentioned, is open to out-of-district residents.
If you are interested in this one, it would be worth contacting the school ?.

Divorce in Los Angeles

Question

  • 恵子
  • mail
  • 2024/04/12 01:48

I am a Japanese woman living in Los Angeles with my American husband and we are considering a divorce.
We were registered in Japan and did not file for marriage in the U.S.
I checked with the ward office and the Japanese consulate in LA. I checked with the ward office and the Japanese consulate in LA and they said that if you do not have a certificate of residence in Japan, you cannot get a divorce in Japan, even if your country of marriage is Japan.
So, first divorce procedures are done in the U.S., then once the divorce is finalized, the documents are sent to the Japanese Consulate, and the Consulate forwards them to the Japanese ward office, and the divorce is finalized in Japan.
★ All the conditions for a simple divorce are met except that the other party does not want to sign the divorce papers.
In that case, which form needs to be filled out / and submitted?
Please let me know if anyone knows. Thank you in advance.

I have checked past information and it seems that even minors can stay in Japan as a foreigner with an American passport, but I wanted to know about recent cases. We would appreciate your cooperation.

Since Topy will be using it,
people who are not involved need not worry about it.

If you don't know where you are leaving from around Del Amo, home or boarding house is a possibility.

If you don't speak English, it could be a tourist or a language school student.

I am a Japanese citizen in my 50s and have been living in the U.S. with a green card. I would like to return to Japan to take care of my parents, and after their death, I would like to live in the U.S. again with a green card. My parents have no chronic diseases and are in good health. In other words, there is no expiration date on their residence in Japan. I understand that I can only provisionally waive for about 2 years to temporarily return to Japan with a green card. If anyone has ever re-instated after living in Japan with a waiver, I would appreciate your advice.

If you have time to spare, it might be better to get US citizenship. There are several types of residency status in Japan, and in some ways they are not as binding as US permanent residency.
As a former Japanese national, and since the consultant's parents are Japanese, as a child of Japanese nationals, it should be easy to be granted residency for a certain period of time, not for work purposes
but to care for the parents.
We recommend that you contact the relevant authorities to confirm this. 
There have been many cases like this in recent years.

If you are returning to Japan to care for your parents without setting a time limit and then returning to the U.S. again, I think it would be best to first obtain U.S. citizenship and then stay in Japan with a permanent residence permit, as recommended by Showa Ototsuan. Once you let your green card lapse, it may be difficult to get it again. ( I don't have any experience with this, so I don't know for sure. )
I am a citizenship holder ( I became a citizen about 15 years ago ) but I returned to Japan about 10 years ago for the purpose of returning permanently. At that time, I first entered Japan with a short-term ( 3-year ) visa and applied for a permanent residence permit after entering the country, which was granted in about a year. I remember that I did all the procedures by myself and it was not so difficult. However, after 4 years, I decided that I could not live in Japan and came back to the US. ( I now live in Hawaii )
From my experience, I believe that Japanese immigration control is kinder to "ex-Japanese" and not as strict as the US green card system. I think it is advantageous for U.S. citizens to travel between Japan and the U.S. in situations where the length of stay is not very predictable. However, it depends on when you return to Japan, and whether you will be able to obtain citizenship by then. In my case, I remember it was about a year after I applied. ( It was quite a while ago, so I am not too sure. )
