I hear that you should have 10 times your annual income saved before you retire.
Did you all save that much before you retired ??

With an annual income of $ 200000, that's 2 mil.

I'm also worried about medical expenses in my old age, so I might as well make Japan, with its low cost of living, an option.

> Social Security has a limit on how much you can get no matter how high you pay ?

That ! ? "no matter how high you pay" is impossible.
Social Security, I believe, only covers up to about $80,000 of your entire annual income. So, no matter how high your income is, there is a limit to how much you can spend. Naturally, there is also a limit to the amount of money you can receive. The maximum amount you can get is about $ 4,000 per month. ( The numbers are random, as they are more than 10 years old. )

It is great that you are in your 30s and worrying about it now.

In my case, it was a low-flying self-employed life, but real estate rose steadily in value, which helped me to build assets.

I see, that makes sense. If there is a limit to both the amount you can yield and the amount you can receive, it wouldn't be unfair. I was taking it easy until recently, I was a little impatient with the coaching. I think I will save enough to not be a burden for now. Thank you.

2500 $ You can rent a one-bed apartment for a few hundred dollars depending on your income. You must be elderly and low income, though. If you are over 80 years old, you have a big advantage, so you should apply for it now.

But if you get to that point, you may choose to go back to Japan, but the climate here is hard to beat.

Please let me know if you know of an OB/GYN with Japanese speaking staff in the Irvine, Anaheim, Walnut, Covina, Diamond Bar, or Chino area !

I just recently found out I am pregnant.
I go to Torrance for my internist, but it takes over an hour from my house on the highway, which is too far for me to go for a prenatal checkup, so I am looking for a closer location.

Kashiwabara OB/GYN is temporarily closed, and Suzuki OB/GYN has a referral page on the web but is not listed on Google maps.

Thank you very much!

Global Entry Entry

When I entered the U.S. from Europe using Global Entry the other day, after having my picture taken on the monitor, the officer called my name one by one and I was allowed to enter the U.S. immediately. When I asked why I had never been treated differently before, I was told that everyone says so.
I don't see the point of receiving a global entry...
I know there are quite a few people in the U.S. with name discrepancies, but do you all use Global Entry? ?
I'm thinking about lining up with the examiner's example from the beginning.

I think it took at least 6 months to get preapproved after applying online. I remember how tiring it was to write all my work history, address, etc. as if I were a permanent resident when applying online. It's not easy to get. Because I thought they were checking my criminal background and probably everything. You can do the interview at a lot of different places, but I chose the L.A. airport.

I only use it twice a year and it's economy class, so I can get through immigration early without having to wait in line automatically, but I end up waiting with my suitcase, so I don't see much point. Personally, if I were someone who only had carry-on only luggage, it might be useful.

Social Security name change, etc.

Problem / Need advice

  • Ai

I have a question for those who have had a name change, such as registering in the US, or have had similar experiences with SSN, DMV.

I was in the US on OPT which expires 2/29/2024 and I married a US citizen in the US in November 2023. I am currently in the pending period of obtaining a green card.

Since I am on OPT, my driver's license will also expire on 2/29 tied to that, so I went to the DMV with the I-797c I received in the green card application process and the EAD for my life until 2/29, hoping to get my license before it expires.
They accepted those two as documents for renewal of my license, but to my foolishness, I had forgotten to change my SSN name and was told that I could not renew because my name in the system was still my maiden name.
(I-797c was issued with my new last name. )

I panicked and went to the Social Security office to try to change my name, but was told, "Your current EAD until 2/29 has too little validity left to change your name." They also did not accept my I-797c and Marriage Certificate.

I tried to apply for AB60 because I need a car to live without, but one DMV said, "No, because it's a pending green card period and you don't qualify as someone who can apply in the first place." Another DMV said "I-797c can't do it, you need to bring your I-797" etc. I am confused.

Long story short, my question is
・ Is there any way to get a license under these circumstances?
・ Once the I-797 arrives, can I use it to rename my SSN ? Has anyone had such an experience ? Will I have to wait endlessly for the new EAD to arrive … tears

Rough question Sorry for the sketchy question, but if anyone can lend me some wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Are you waiting for a Work Permit ? I hear a lot of people say they got it right after applying for a GC.
With this, you would get a new expiration date for your SS. 

I think you can change the name on the license at a later date. Licenses < generally can be renewed > within 60 days of expiration, but there may be exceptions.

I think you can change the name on your license or SS by submitting a change of name form later. You could try Online if it's a bad idea.

If you have a W-2, you can go to IRS.com and choose a free tax return program that suits you.

If you are not sure, you may want to email the IRS and explain your situation and ask what kind of documentation will be required to prove that you were in Japan last year.
Even if you have not been in the U.S. for 6 months, if you have some income in the U.S., you will need to file a Tax Return.

If you do not do a Tax Return this year, you can do a Tax Return going back 2 - 3 years, but if you have a Green Card, you can only leave the US for 2 years ? If you are in the US and not working, you do not need a Green Card. If I stay in the U.S. and don't work, I don't need a Green Card ?.

For a tax return of < first year > with GC income, the tax return treatment is completely different depending on the date of GC acquisition and the date of entry into the US. This makes it very complicated to add Japanese income to your tax return and receive US benefits. I have sent you an email for more details, but I think you should ask a tax accountant who is familiar with Dual-Status.

I would like to send wine, whiskey, and other alcoholic beverages to Japan as a gift
but I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that can ship them. ?
From my research, it seems that there are restrictions on regulations and licenses
and I'm not sure if it is possible to mail them. I am pondering.

Also, I am assuming shipping from home, not from a winery or brewery.

I don't know which shipping company you use, but
usps, fedex, and ups don't seem to allow alcoholic beverages.

You can contact OCS

If you can't, you can send wine or whisky as a gift
from a Japanese department store's website.

Payment can be conveniently made by credit card.

As you said, I was refused by the actual stores of
FedEx, USPS, and UPS because they are legally unable to ship alcoholic beverages from the US to Japan without a license to export them.

And ordering from a department store catalog. It didn't occur to me ! ! !

I was thinking of just buying it here and sending it, but
I'll see if I can order the sake I want to send online in Japan.
