I have decided to get a driver's license ！
The DMV website says that I need at least two documents for the test, such as ID, bank account documents, apartment contract, and electric/gas bill, etc.
The apartment and electric/gas contract are in my husband's name. The apartment and the electricity and gas are in my husband's name and not in my name. （ I was told that I need an ID to open a bank account, but I could not do so because I do not have a driver's license or ID card.

I would appreciate it if someone who has obtained a driver's license and was in a situation like mine could tell me what kind of documents they submitted to the DMV.

Sorry for the confusing text.

It is faster to go to the DMV office and ask them directly.
Many conditions change. There are many people like you, so the direct consultation window at the DMV is accurate.

The number of documents required will vary depending on whether you have a driver's license only or with Real ID. …

The lease agreement for the apartment will have the names and signatures of the adult roommates other than the contractor (Topi(Topi)》. Please check. If not, please ask them to put their names on the lease and sign it now.

I was able to open a bank account with a passport and a proof of address (a proof of lease) (I know someone who opened a bank account with Bank of America a year ago without SSN.)

I think you can put your name on the cell phone contract too, so please do.

I think you can apply at the DMV if you bring copies of these.

I created an account for my son last year at Union Bank.
I think if you have your permanent residency and passport you can get the account set up quickly, as all you needed was two photo proofs.
I think you also have marriage certificates etc. and it would be quicker to talk to your husband if he helped you ？.

I plan to move to Silicon Valley next February.
I am self-taught, but I can wear everything from yukata to colored tomesode by myself.
I can wear men's kimonos as well, up to everyday wear, though not hakama.
I am not in a hurry to move to Silicon Valley, so if you are not in a hurry, I can help you ….

Does a furnished apartment include a bed? It is normal to get it locally ？ Please tell me - ！.

If it is furnished, I think beds are usually included.
If you search for furnished apartments, you can see if there is a bed or not in the pictures.
You should inquire about it, but ・ ・ ・

I recommend Gakken teaching materials.
My son is using it now. If you need it, I will give it to you at a reasonable price.

Green Card Application

Has anyone started applying for a green card during the OPT period? This is an application for permanent residence through marriage to an American citizen. I have a few questions and thought I would post here to share some information. For those of you who have recently started the application process, is it still too late in the process ？ and is there any risk of returning to Japan before starting the application ？?

Can anyone please tell me ！
Even though it is the end of the school year, I would like my child to be able to transfer to the elementary school of his/her choice in May so that he/she can get accustomed to the local school as much as possible. I wonder if the school will accept them at the end of the school year.
As far as I can tell from the school's website, the information seems to indicate that it is not accepted … but I guess not ….
I don't know, so I would appreciate it if someone with experience could tell me ！.

SanJose public elementary school, there was a previous expat who moved into the school in May. I think it is a matter of availability, not timing, as to whether we can accept them or not.

As nao mentioned, I think it is whether there are openings or not. Personally, I think that at the end of the school year, the atmosphere of the classes and school has matured over the past year. I hope that your child will not feel alienated in this atmosphere.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations for places to explore near the airport. Thank you in advance.

Transferred from a Japanese university to CA State University

I would like to transfer from a Japanese university to CA State University.
I contacted the state university and was told that I cannot
apply because I do not have Golden Four credits.
If anyone knows how to obtain the Golden Four,
I would appreciate your advice.
（ Can I get it through Community Collage ？ ）

1. You can probably take the required courses through OPEN UNIVERSITY the semester before you hope to get it. https://www.calstate.edu/attend/professional-and-continuing-education/Pages/open-university.aspx
2. You should consult with your Japanese university academic advisor (who can contact the CSU campus you want to enter) to see if any of the courses you already took can be applied to one of the Golden Four courses.
3. You could take these courses at a community college (best way IMO).

Good luck!
