Does anyone know how to receive text messages from Japan on an American cell phone ? Yahoo Japan requires registration of a cell phone number. I don't know how to do this since I don't have a Japanese cell phone number.

Nice to meet you.
I am relocating to Los Angeles for my husband's work.
I will be working in Burbank and am looking for a place to live within a 30 minute commute. ( Rent can be up to about 7k )
I have children in elementary school and kindergarten, so I am considering a place with a good school district and safety.
We also want them to attend a supplementary school, so it is difficult to find a place with good access ….
I was stationed in Los Angeles for a year before my child was born, so I have a vague idea of the area, but when it comes to school districts, I have no idea, so I refer to sites like Niche.
I am currently considering
La canada, South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, and Encino, Shrman oaks, and Studio city west of Burbank.
As for supplementary schools, we are considering Asahi Gakuen's Santa Monica school.
I know it's really difficult because there are so many conditions …
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Thank you in advance.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

The remedial school is once a week, so I don't think you need to think that much about convenience. I think it is better to give priority to the local school because daily life is more important than that. I can do my best in the remedial school because it is only once a week, but if I fail in the local school, it will be stressful.

Is there anyone in a similar situation ?
・ Don't apologize even if you are at fault, blame the other person
・ All responsibility lies with your partner
・ You may be good but your partner should not do the same
(I When I get angry, they tell me to control my feelings and not to get angry no matter what. But it's okay for my partner to be angry. Because I'm not able to do it.)
I could go on and on counting. I know there are trolls and messages telling me to break up with them, but I'd love to hear real life experiences from people in similar situations.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

My husband is exactly the same.
I didn't know his true nature until we got married, partly because it was a speedy marriage. We got married because I thought, "I can discuss and overcome many things with this man." He is such a good talker and listener on the outside. For several years I have been told that no matter what I say, it is 100% my fault. When I try to talk to him, he calls me a teenager and won't even take me seriously, when I try to accept him, he calls me a liar, and when I shut up, he calls me depressed. When I give them a factually correct answer, they immediately leave the house, saying, "Shut up and shut up, we have nothing to talk about. I have my own problems, but after 3 years of counseling, coaching, and marriage-building seminars ( just me ), I have never really been able to decide if I want to stay with this person, so now I am moving toward independence and divorce. I feel much brighter now that I have made that decision !

Ms. South
Thank you for your comment.
It seems that my partner's mother left home without her siblings and was raised by her father. I believe that is part of the reason why he did not have a strong relationship with his female counterpart (ie. his mother).
I am rooting for your future, Mr. South ! I am about to start counseling as well. I hope that we can both be on the right track.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Marriage after overstay, green card

Hello. I entered the country previously on a tourist visa to meet my American boyfriend (now husband). My boyfriend became sick with an internal disease and while I was taking care of him, his visa expired and he overstayed. We later married in the U.S. and my husband is now healthy and he has a stable income. I have never worked in the US. I am applying for a green card, but I am paroling ? because of my overstay and I think I will have to go back to the US Embassy in Japan for an interview.
I am quite anxious because Trump will be president for a period of time. I am worried that I will not be able to re-enter Japan ? if I go back to Japan because of the alternative situation due to Trump being tough on immigrants.
I would appreciate your advice or anyone with similar experiences. Sorry for the rambling.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If you apply for a green card within 2 years of marriage, the first green card you will be issued will be a 2-year conditional green card; after 2 years you will apply to have the condition removed and you will be issued a 10-year green card. If you apply for a green card more than two years after your marriage, you will be issued a 10-year green card from the beginning.
You most likely obtained your green card within 2 years of marriage.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

It was a long time ago, around 1930, I was running a flower shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Three years later, for some reason or other, they returned to Japan, but when the three of them were still alive, ( I found information and books of the flower shop in my childhood ) and the address.
It was a pre-war address, "332 E. first street, Los Angeles Calif.
However, since it is an old address, I can only find "maybe here ?". Because when I did a GOOGLE search, it was in front of the Sakura Hotel.
The address of the flower shop was "under Ohayo Hotel" from there.
I am having a hard time finding out where the Ohayo Hotel was located and if it was possibly the predecessor of the Sakura Hotel.
I am planning to visit Los Angeles in the near future to see my grandmother's roots, which were Japanese-American. ( I'm not sure if it's inside Skid Row, but )
Perhaps there is a 90+ year old person who has lived in Little Tokyo since childhood, and if memory serves, there may be a chance.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
By the way, the name of the flower shop my grandfather owned at that time was Tei ( MIKADO )

While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.
Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.
Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.
Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.
Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.
It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

$ If you're going to send 250,000 in dollars, you should definitely send it when the yen is cheap. Today $ is a good day to send money because 1=158 yen. Japanese banks charge about 3 yen as a commission. All banks charge roughly the same fee. The remittance fee is not much. Japanese banks usually call the receiver if the amount is over 10 million yen, and if the receiver does not answer the phone, they will not receive the money even if the money is transferred. Since the money is received on the day the receiver answers the phone, the amount in yen is transferred after approximately 3 yen is deducted from the exchange rate on that day.

Nice to meet you !
I am married to an American and hold a GC. When we got married, I took my husband's surname in the Japanese family register. In the U.S., I kept my maiden name and switched my GC to 10 years, which I recently received after 3 years.
I recently renewed my passport with my new surname and my maiden name in brackets, but I am panicking ? that it is a problem that my passport and GC have different surnames.
Would this be a problem ?
I thought I would keep my maiden name in the US, but should I not do that ? ??This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

In my case, it is a bit opposite.
・ Japanese family register → I have a marriage notation but chose to keep my maiden name → I thought my husband's name would be written in katakana
・ Passport → maiden name + ( husband's name ) + Name and Name and
・ Green Card → Surname
I have been to Japan many times with this. I have been to Japan many times with this.
It was a long time ago.
When I did web check in to Japan, I could not do web check in because the name on the passport and the name on the ticket did not match.
Then, after going to the airport, I asked ? how to avoid the error next time, and was told that I could issue a ticket with the name in parentheses, but then the name on my frequent flyer card would be changed and my existing mileage would be lost. In the end, I am still having my ticket issued with only my husband's name.
But now that I think about it. ?
)But now I think... But the exact reason why it stopped giving me errors ? ? is because I always use the same place.
But still, isn't it slow to get the GC ?

Nice to meet you. In my case, it is the opposite of the Lord's. I have kept my maiden name in Japan and changed it to my husband's last name in the U.S.
The last name on my passport and green card are different, but I buy airline tickets every time with the name on my passport and have no problems.
By the way, in the past I have never been pointed out that my name is different with regard to airline tickets, but
the other day I tried to switch to a driver's license with ID at the DMV and was unable to create it because my name was different.
( If it is a regular driver's license, there seems to be no problem ) I hope this helps.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
