Nice to meet you
I am an auto mechanic specializing in American cars in Japan for 26 years.
I would like to work as an auto mechanic in the U.S. in the near future.
I cannot give up my childhood dream.
However, I am having a hard time finding a visa sponsor.
If anyone is familiar with the auto maintenance industry in the US, I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
If anyone knows how to find a job and the process of getting a visa, I would appreciate it if you could share the information.

The problem is that we specialize in American cars ～.
Usually, visas are granted to people who have skills that American people don't have.
It is hard to believe that foreigners know more about American cars than Americans.
Sponsors might be willing to sponsor a store with many Japanese customers if they really need a mechanic who can speak Japanese. I don't think so.

Good evening, I live in US.
Are you applying for a Green Card ？
or are you married to a US Citizen and have them sponsor you for a Green Card
?
Not many companies issue Working Visa
so you could find a green card
sponsor while living in the US with a green card from expatriate, J1Visa.
There are people living in US in various patterns.
You could try contacting a temp agency ？.

Dear rxp and everyone
thank you for your replies.
I have applied for DV2026.
I will do some research.

In a manner of speaking, I am a mechanic, but I work in Japan （ specializing in difficult problems that dealers and other stores have been unable to solve, mainly new model vehicles ） mostly computer and electrical .
We are working in the same environment as the dealers in the home country, from the acquisition of information to the facilities, by contracting with a US manufacturer GM FORD CHRYSLER USNISSAN USTOYOTA.
If your skills are recognized, you may be able to work somewhat. Of course, I can do all mechanical repairs.
I run an automotive engineering company, so management relations are good, and I contact the US daily to gather information and import cars and parts.
My English is at an everyday conversational level and I am training with a dedicated teacher.

Also, you may want to call or Email Japanese car companies directly
.
There are many Japanese people in Hawaii, so there is a demand for people who can speak both Japanese and English.
There are always Japanese men at Japanese car companies.

I am recently divorced and need to be independent, but will it be difficult to start my own business from freelancing with my English still at a beginner level and no education or business skills? I have a child, but my ex-husband has moved to another state with our child due to my lack of earning power. I am often told that I should go back to Japan ？ but personal circumstances make it difficult for me to return. I have no idea what I need to do to make freelance money. What should I start with?

You can probably baby-sit Japanese children.
Once you get used to it, you can earn quite a bit of money if you take care of several of them together at home. Home daycare center. It is a splendid entrepreneurship.

Yes, daycare centers that care for children in Los Angeles must be licensed. In California, child care centers and day care facilities must follow state regulations and obtain the appropriate licenses.1 This ensures that children receive care in a safe and appropriate environment.

I work in a restaurant.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some definitions about 10 minute breaks and 30 minute breaks ！

because I have never been allowed to take a break at the restaurant I currently work at. I didn't think much of it before, feeling that it was just a break, but the other day I was checking my work hours and found that I had been given several 30 minute breaks that I had never taken, and they were exploiting my pay. Of course, I checked with the president, and later he said, "I found out the cause and will pay you the amount that was deducted.

I was shocked, because it was normal to pay, but there was not a single word of apology, nor any reason for the 30-minute break I had taken the liberty of putting on.

I haven't thought about suing yet, but I wanted to write here to make sure I understand the law.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me more about this.
I would also like to know if there are any specialists whom I can consult ！ .

I believe they had to pay an extra hour for each 30 minute meal break or 10 minute break they did not take as a penalty.
You should check out sites such as Labor Department for more information, and even if you don't intend to sue, you should consult an attorney or other legal counsel.

I am a man in my early 30s currently working in Japan.
I have always wanted to work in the U.S. and am considering taking a trainee job on a J1 visa to gain experience.

This program is called the American version of the work-holiday, but what is it really like?
Actually, I had planned to travel to the U.S. in the past but had to give it up because of corona. Since I am in my 30s, I wonder if it would be worth it to go if I could gain some experience, but I am wondering if it would be too subtle as I am a trainee and would not be appreciated much upon my return.

Agents have a strong business component, so they give good advice, but what is the actual situation?
By the way, my current job is IT-related, but it is not a technical job like a programmer.

If any of you have experience with this, I would like to know more about it. Best regards.

I think my high school study abroad was on a J1 visa. College was F1.

After I started working, there was a J1 visa holder in my company, but he was doing really trivial work. He was doing really trivial work, like filing paperwork that anyone could have done.
It was a black company and it was the company's fault, but he didn't seem to have any motivation or ambition, so it was understandable.

The third person above is amazing, it must have been very hard to make it on a J1 visa, the J1 visa person at my company was lamenting the gap with the H1 visa.

I am going to work in the US for the first time.
I'm part time, but
I asked the company if I could get an offer letter, and
they told me that we have never sent such a letter.
Is it standard for part time workers to not have an offer letter ？
Sorry for my ignorance, but is it dangerous to start working in this situation ？
I have filled out the W-4form and UPCIS.

I've never met anyone who asked for an offer letter every single time, and I've never requested one.
I didn't care if it was part time or full time, some had it and some didn't. When you say dangerous...? Worried about getting in trouble later if the conditions were different...?

I have no experience as a waitress,

I am thinking of working about twice a week at first.

Since I have no experience, I assume there will be a training period

approximately how long will I be training ？

and will I be paid during the training period ？?

What are the reasons for not being hired after the training period ？

Also, is there anything else you can tell me about the places that are often looking for employees ？

and other

Any advice, information, etc. would be very helpful.

I don't lick waitressing, and everyone starts out at the entry level in any profession.
What do you mean by schooling in the waitressing business? Most people learn on the job.
Topi says she wants to work about 2 times a week, but she is going to school to study?
If you're going to go that far, then you're an experienced waitress who went to school to learn the trade, right?
Can you give me the name of that school?
And tell me which restaurant you worked at.

It's normal to be apprehensive at first about anything.
I'm the same way.
But you have to do it to get started, so I hope you can turn your anxiety into excitement.

You'll get an hourly wage （ probably a minium ） even during training. I believe it starts out with no tip, and the % of the tip gradually increases according to your ability. This is usually decided by the head waitress.

The length of time depends on the store and your ability, so it is hard to say, but I think you can expect about 1 ～ 2 months. During the training （ you are not in the ） headcount unless there is something wrong with you, so you will get used to the store and your training will be over quickly if you try to spend as many days in the store as possible.

I think waitressing is much better than working in an office in a Japanese company. Waitresses are busy.

In an office, the ladies gossip, talk behind your back, and complain … It's an eternal loop. If I don't attend the wasteful gossip meetings, people say "she doesn't socialize well" or "she's so strange" lol.

They think waitresses are shady ？
Some of them even scrape their fingernails down to the wood patterns on the tables to inspect them when they wipe the tables.
A store with a bunch of crazies is frequently recruiting.
The owners, collectively, don't waste money ？ paying them.
Bigger stores are better than smaller ones.
Better to be American-based.
