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.

I'm not sure, but why not, for example, get an I20 issued at the evening session of a language school and get an F1
find a homestay for a fee and go to school there ? it would be day, night and school
something like that, but there might be vendors.

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.

A Japanese friend of mine is exporting used cars to Japan, and I believe he can register up to 10 vehicles if he has a formality certificate for the same model. I think it is a good idea to ask a company to do this for you instead of doing it on your own.

FedEx delays

Question
#1
  • 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.

I used to commute by bus to avoid car traffic to downtown in the past, but the bus is surprisingly easy. If you're coming from Torrence, you can take the Torrence Line 4x, which is a Metro 910 & 950 ( I used to use myself ) it's much more empty and a bit cleaner on the bus.

Torrance bus4X is indeed empty and clean, but only in the morning and evening, and only once an hour.
After Covid, there is a shortage of drivers, and you may have to wait up to 2 hours for more cancelled flights, so if you have to be on time, J Line 910 or 950 are by far the most frequent.

When I go to a restaurant with 4 , 5 of my mom friends, we all share what we order, but the more upscale the restaurant, the smaller the plates are.

We get sick of having to share two small spoonfuls.

Of course, I enjoy talking with my mom friends during meals.

After obtaining my US citizenship, I kept a Japanese bank account using my parents' address in Japan.
My parents passed away a few years ago, and they kept the house, but now the house is going to be sold.
So my parents' address is no longer available.
There is no option to use the address of relatives or friends.
Please let us know your experience if you are able to keep it otherwise.
The bank is one of the city banks.

Thank you very much.

There seems to be some uncertain information written down, but for your reference, I will paste the recent publicity pages of the FSA and the Japanese Bankers Association as follows.

In my case, my bank is Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, and almost every year since November 2020, I have been asked to fill out ・ and return a "Confirmation of Purpose of Transaction" form. In my previous comment, I once wrote that I have never been asked my nationality by the bank, but that is incorrect, and you need to fill in your nationality on this confirmation form. If your nationality is not Japanese, you are required to submit a copy of your resident card to confirm your status of residence. In my case, I have already returned my residence card, so I did not submit a copy. In addition, I have never been asked for my number card information and have never submitted any information.
I have honestly reported ( the current status of my remittance transaction information to the U.S. I have regularly remitted Japanese pension funds to the U.S. ) and have never been unable to remit funds because of this. In my case, I have been using the same account at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank since ( 40 years ago ) before I came to the U.S. and up to the present, so my transaction record may have been evaluated.

Not very helpful. Maybe it's a special case.
