Nice to meet you

How are you doing with your cell phone ？
I use a company called Boost

Recently, while watching YouTube, I frequently see commercials for A Senior Flex Card, Senior Alliance Benefit Card, etc., that offer special, free medical and food benefits to seniors who are 64 years of age or older and have Medicare. I googled to see if there is such a thing and found some information that it is a Scam （ Scam ） and some information that if you join a certain insurance company, they will offer it to you. If you know, could you please give me the correct information?

So, it depends on your personal needs, so you should talk to your agent (e.g., you want good dental benefits, you want food delivery, you want some of the Medicare fees to be covered, etc.) and choose the plan that best suits your needs.

Summary Divorce with Dissolution. （ Married less than 5 years, no children, property ・ almost no debts. ）

I have looked at the self help guide for the California courts, etc., but is it okay to just file the FL-800, FL-825, and Property Agreement?
（ In addition to that, two copies of each document and two envelopes stamped with the address ）

Are the FL-810 and FL-150 just used to do the calculations to divide property and debt between the couple ？

Also, we are currently living together, but I have already found a place to move to and will be living in the new place by the time the divorce is finalized.
In that case, should I write my new address on the envelope?

Thank you all for all your input.
I was able to print successfully yesterday.

How did I end up doing it,

1 ． I found a store on Yelp that has a reputation of being able to custom print anything (https://www.yelp.com/biz/custom-1-printing- torrance)
2 ． I took the A3 paper I bought from Daiso
3 ． The professional at the store adjusted the size of the print several times and adjusted the settings so that the printed area was centered nicely on the A3 paper

I was able to get a good result.
If there was no A3 paper, the store owner was going to print on a larger sheet of paper and cut it to A3 size.
They printed it for less than $5 for 4 sheets, so they were really conscientious and helpful.

I contacted Japan Graphic in the Torrance area, and this company seemed to be able to help me, but I was in a hurry, so I went with a local printer who answered quickly on the phone this time.

By the way, A3 size is twice the size of A4 size, which is similar to the commonly used American letter size, and the paper was too big for the home printer I had at home.

Thank you very much.

I am an eighth grader and would like to study abroad in the U.S. I would like to know how I can obtain a visa from the school.

In order for an eighth grader to study in the U.S., he/she must follow the steps below to obtain a visa.

1. Obtain a Letter of Admission ： To enroll in an American school, you must first obtain a letter of admission from the school. You can apply directly to your school or through a study abroad agent for a Letter of Admission.
In general, it is difficult for Japanese junior high school students to study at public junior high schools in the United States. Children of local residents are given priority in American public schools, and international students are permitted only in limited cases. In addition, in order to study in an American public school, students must reside in the school district. Therefore, Japanese junior high school students must enroll in a private school located outside of their school district to study in an American public school. If you wish to enroll in a private school, we recommend that you contact the school directly to find out more about enrollment procedures and required documents.

2. SEVIS Registration ： International students in the U.S. must register with the Student Exchange Visitor Information and Management System ™ (SEVIS™). The study abroad school registers the student with SEVIS and enters the international student's information, the international student is automatically registered in SEVIS.

3. Obtaining Form I-20 ： Once the Letter of Acceptance and SEVIS registration are complete, you will need to obtain an I-20 form from your study abroad school The I-20 form is one of the documents required for the international student's visa application.

4. Visa Application ： Once you have obtained your I-20 form, you will need to apply for a visa at an American embassy or consulate. To apply for a visa, you will need your passport, Form I-20, visa application fee, and an appointment for a visa interview.

5. Visa Interview ： A visa interview is required for all visa applications. During the interview, you will need to ask questions and provide detailed information about the visa application for international students.

These are the steps required for an eighth grade student to obtain a visa to study in the United States. You can obtain more detailed information from your study abroad agent or the school where you will be studying. It is also recommended that you seek professional advice on how long to apply for a U.S. visa and the details of the process, as there are many requirements.

An eighth grader is still a child who needs protection. A child who cannot do anything on his own.

He has to inform his parents of his wishes and get their approval before proceeding.

For a child to study in the U.S., the procedures between Japan and the U.S. are very difficult, and above all, a lot of money is needed.

You don't seem to understand even if you read the polite response of Mr. Renunciation in #4, and more importantly, you have no gratitude for Mr. Renunciation who took the trouble to respond to you on his own time.

First of all, "thank you", right?

I am a second year junior high school student and I am thinking of studying abroad in Los Angeles, USA.
I heard that public schools do not offer f1 visas for 2nd year students, but private schools do, so I was wondering if it is possible to attend a private school for the first year and then attend a public school from the second year. I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

？
And you can't go to a public school if you don't pay taxes …
and study abroad . If you really want to study abroad, boarding school would be the safest choice. ？
Even high school students under what age needed a guardian.

If you can afford 10 million a year, it is possible to study abroad by yourself, even if you are in junior high school.
Unless your parents work and pay taxes here, there is no other way to go to public school except for a special one-year exchange program ….

As for high school, I have heard that you can get an I-20 for the first 9 months and go to public school on an F-1 visa.
So if there is a public school that accepts you, contrary to Ryan's idea, you may be able to go to a public school first and then transfer to a private school. This was a long time ago, and anyway, I think you need to ask an immigration lawyer or something about this.

FedEx delays

Question

  • FedEx

  • 2023/04/11 13:22

I had trusted FedEx, but
＊ in mid-February, a document sent from here to Tokyo by the fastest flight （ 2 days ） stopped in Anchorage, Alaska for a long time and was delivered a week late.
＊ Then a document from Tokyo, scheduled for delivery on March 10, was delivered on March 28. （ The condition of the envelope was black and stained on one side, and the printed FedEx letters
appeared to have been rubbed off somewhere to the point of being erased. ）

The reason seems to be weather, but （ I have not been able to get a clear explanation ）
It may be true that the cold February flights to Japan had no choice but to stop in Anchorage, but most flights from Japan in March were stuck in Memphis.

The flight to Japan in March was mostly stranded in Memphis. We happened to encounter this kind of situation twice, which made us feel uneasy about FedEx.
So I was wondering if this kind of thing happens more often than expected and would like to hear about your experiences.
I have been using this method of mailing with no problems at all, so I am very troubled.
Thank you very much.

Also, since I needed to send it back immediately, I asked for Kuroneko Yamato TA-Q-BIN, which does not offer a 2-day delivery service, but it was delivered safely within a week as scheduled.
