Thank you for your help !

I am currently in the process of applying for permanent residency with Adjustment of Status ≪(I did not initially intend to live in the US, but due to the Corona situation I decided it would be better to relocate to the US )). Let me ask you a few questions ! I am currently anxious and worried.

1 > I had no work permit last year and no income.
2 > I read that FATCA is only required for those who have to file a tax return, so am I right in thinking that I don't have to file if I don't have to file a tax return? ( I have not submitted it yet because I found out about it on April 18, and I would like to do it by October 15 as soon as possible ) I need to submit it

4 > In order to apply for permanent residence, I asked my family to submit a certificate of residence for me in Japan. ( I read that financial assets in Japan ) such as banks, securities firms, etc. are services available only to residents of Japan and must be cancelled, but can Japanese citizens have assets in Japan? But, can I hold deposits, stocks, etc.? If so, you will need to report the cancellation and remit the money to the U.S. the next time you return to Japan, since everything in Japan is considered cancelled when the document is signed by the person in question. I hope the current depreciation of the yen is not continuing. I also saw on your blog that you are talking about freezing my deposit. I am very worried. Please let me know.

Returned to Japan after being hit by a car: 。。。。

Contents. I was renting my car ( 2006 Prius ) to a LONG BEACH student. I had them take out full coverage insurance. I also have the paperwork for that. I also had them sign a contract when I rented it out. I also had them sign a contract when I lent the car to them. Five days before I was to return to Japan, I had an accident. Naturally, he is unable to fix it in 5 days because his return is imminent. I told him that I couldn't fix it while he was there and that I wanted him to pay for the repairs first, but 、、、、However, 、、、、he sent me a last message the next day. He said.......................I talked to my parents. I told him that if he charged me anything more I would get a lawyer,
What ? ? ? ? ?
What a mistake, I thought he would shut up if I told him I was a lawyer 。。。。
As a result, he ran away. His Japanese license and CA license were taken in advance.

There is the whole exchange....
I told him normally that I would definitely be out of the mosquito net when I returned home, so I would replace the money while I was in LA. He was a 22 year old college student and all the money came from his parents.
He lied because he didn't want his parents to be angry with him and said it wasn't my fault. It is obvious that he told them.

I think I have no choice but to hire a lawyer... ? ? ? I would appreciate your opinion.

If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
I made an appointment with SoCal gas to have the pilot light in my apartment fireplace turned off for the summer
We live in an apartment and the main gate is always locked. Will the technician call me on my cell phone when he arrives ? I was wondering how he would get in after making the appointment?

The yen is very cheap historically and I want to buy it, but where can I buy yen ?
Please let me know if you are familiar with banks with low commissions, online, FX, etc.

When sending electrical appliances from Japan

Hello, I have a friend who wants to send some electronics from Japan to Oto-Los Angeles. A friend of mine wants to send some electrical appliances from Japan to Oto-Los Angeles, but I was wondering which shipping company he should use to save money and get there earlier ?
I have several boxes, and I heard that with Kuroneko Yamato it costs about 25,000 yen per box. I was told that it would be quicker to buy similar ones in the U.S.
If we use sea mail, will it take about 2 months?
Also, if I send relatively new electrical appliances, will they get caught in customs? I have never sent a package from Japan, so I would appreciate it if someone who knows more about it could help me.

It has a rotten smell like doo-doo from the mouth. Would you describe it as an old wardrobe? Please tell me what to do about bad breath.

Sim cards that can be used in Japan

Question

I use a Google Fi Flexible plan for my phone. It is also available in Japan, but I am planning to use a SIM card in Japan because the data usage is not Unlimited and I only pay for what I use.

So I was doing some research and discovered that there is something called Airalo that can be used with an app without a SIM card. Has anyone used it in Japan? ? It costs $14 for 3GB, but you don't get a Japanese phone number. The 3GB SIM card sold at airports in Japan, for example, was about 4,000 yen a few years ago, I think. The price may have gone up now, so I think Airalo is much more reasonable.

Yes, the one for that app is 3GB and the list price is $14, but there is a coupon code for a 30% discount or something like that, so it looks like it's less than $10.
https://herpromocodes.com/airalo-promo-codes

If you know where else I can buy a cheaper SIM card, or if there is a different way, please let me know. I am currently looking for a SIM card that is inexpensive and works well. By the way, I don't think I need a Japanese phone number since I have LINE.
