今現在駐在員として働いております。
仕事が定時に終了するので、夕方から学校へ通ってみたいと思っています。
英語の語学学校ではなく、少しキャリアアップにつながるようなことを学べたらと考えています。

そこで皆様にご質問なのですが、アメリカにも日本のような社会人学校はあるのでしょうか。
他にもアメリカと日本の法律上問題があれば教えていただきたく、詳しい方いらっしゃれば是非教えていただければと思います。

よろしくお願い致します。

成人なら社会人でも何歳でも関係なく、専門学校の夜クラスに行ったり、大学の単位を取ることもできますよ。
法律上の問題については、駐在員規定にかかわることになると思いますので、法務部か人事総務部に聞くべきかと思います。
勉強する内容によっては補助金が出たりもするんじゃないでしょうか。

受講費用がかかるコースでも問題なければ、ほとんどの大学は社会人のためのコースがあります
中には、Certificationが取れたり、大学のCreditとして認められているコースもあります

たとえば、UCIでは次のサイトで確認できます

https://ce.uci.edu/courses/

行ってみたい大学の中のWebサイトでContinuing Education　とか、Extension などで調べてみたらどうでしょうか？

ぎゅぎゅさん、　生涯学習さん、
お返事が大変遅くなり申し訳ありません。
大変ためになるお返事ありがとうございます。大学少し調べてみましたが、学費がとても高いようなので、一先ず専門学校の夜間クラスを調べてみようと思っています。

大学でもコミュニティーカレッジならUCやState Collegeに比べて授業料が割安です。
ディグリーだけでなく、サーティフィケートのコースもあります。

レベルが大学より低くなりキャリアアップに繋がるかどうか分かりませんが、Adult schoolなら無料もしくは低価格で授業が受けられます。
場所は、各地のコミュニティーセンターや公立高校などでやっている事が多いです。

I think the ramen shop in Pacific Square was "Daisuke".
The portions were American size and I was full.
I remember there was also an udon shop somewhere with the same name.

Men-Bei ！ That brings back memories. I used to love the Stamina Don. My daughter lives in San Jose, and she sent me a photo.
It showed the owner of Men-Bei hard at work. The restaurant is called Men-Bei Ramen. The address is 1349 Coleman Ave, Santa Clara, CA 95050. If I ever have a chance to be in the area, I’d love to go there and try the Stamina Don.

Is that Santa Clara, CA 95050?

That's a little too far.

Even getting to Gardena or Torrance can easily take an hour if the freeway is crowded.

Oh, ！ so Menbei moved to the Bay Area, huh? I checked Yelp, and sure enough, the owner is ！

. By the way, if you use Street View to step inside Hakata Ikkosha, it’s actually Menbei （ lol ）
. It brings back so many memories. I used to love their mapo rice and gyoza.

入口のドアに”CLOSESING　September 28, 2026”の張り紙がある写真を見つけました。メッセージは「これまでたくさんのお客様に足を運んでいただき、皆さまとの出会いと、共に過ごした時間に 心から感謝をお伝えしたいと思います。長年にわたりMEN BEI RAMENをご愛顧いただき、 本当にありがとうございました。」との事でした。もしかしてトーレンスに戻ってくるのかな？

Lives in a $300 million house
Sister-in-law owns several houses worth millions

Uses cell phone and car until they break
Leaves broken doorknobs in place
Microwave oven is not cleaned well and smells of mold
Lives in a huge stupid house but never asks for cleaning
family members share the care of mother-in-law
use day care for the elderly
ask for care givers several times, but they order a lot and pay poorly
family members cancel on days they need help
and get smoked by the agency
only buy items on sale and use them for years always share one less dish than the number of people in a restaurant
only drink water

wonder why they are living like this when they have money
all the loans are not paid off and they are cash poor
now retired at 60, they are using retirement money to pay their bills
I found myself with a 62 year old sister-in-law
I guess she will die when the loans are paid

I guess I will never be free from my attachment to money
Even if I have hundreds of millions, I will die with the fear that my wealth will diminish.
In a sense, he may be a victim of the times.

Cash poor person in #13, maybe he bought real estate when it was expensive （ e.g. last year ） and is unable to sell even if he wanted to.
Just reading the first two lines, I knew this was being chased for a loan.
If he bought when it was cheap, maybe he's looking to go up more and make more money ？ Then he's pretty stingy.

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.

I am going back to Japan temporarily this weekend, do I need a negative certificate for my 0 and 3 year old children?

I am wondering what to do since the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's website was very vague about it.

If anyone who has been to Japan with a child and knows anything about this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hello, I temporarily returned to Japan at the end of June and needed a negative certificate for my 6 year old child. As far as I know, all children born in Japan need a negative certificate, but if you have any questions, please contact the Japanese consulate for a detailed answer. I am sure you have already returned to your home country, but I am writing to you now. I hope you are able to return home safely.

Nice to meet you.
My husband was a researcher at a university on a J visa until Fall 2019 ～ Summer 2020.

Last year （ 2020 ） we filed our 2019 tax return （ Federal and State ） in the US,
how should we do for 2020 tax return?

Last year I received my W2 form in the mail from the university, but I have not received it this year as of now.
Should I contact the university?

Thank you very much.

If you are returning after 2 years on a J visa, you can file the same form as last year.

If you are a J visa holder for up to 2 years, you must file a 1040 － NR.

In addition, J visa holders who are researchers will usually receive a 1042 － S
form from the university instead of a W － 2 form. In any case, please check with the university and file the
last year's form.

現在駐在員としてハワイに住んでいますが、コロナの影響で日本に帰国せざるを得ない状況にあります。
子どもが来年に高校卒業予定なんですが、どうしてもそれまで滞在できそうにありません。
学年の途中で子どもを連れて帰国した方がいらしたら、その体験をお聞かせ頂けませんでしょうか？
今の学校と相談したり、日本の高校に編入したり…自分なりに調べていますがこの緊急事態での事例がみつかりません。
どんな選択をできるか最善を尽くしたいです。
どうかお知恵を貸してください。

我が子は進学の予定はないのですが、せめて高校卒という学歴を残してあげたいところです。
60日を超えると違法滞在の記録が残ってしまいますので、再入国やビザ取得、ひいてはグリーンカード審査に影響があるのではと思っています。
なかなか難しいですね…

カイさん、

アメリカではホームスクーリングやオンラインスクールがありますが、ハワイ政府の教育機関にアポイントを取って、ビザや高校卒業間近である事情を話してどんな解決策があるのか情報収集してみてはいかがでしょうか？

一から勉強し直して日本の高卒資格試験を受けるのはお子様にはしんどく可哀想だと思うので、日本からオンライン授業を受けることが出来る情報があるといいですが。

連絡先:

私の友人はインターナショナルスクールに編入し卒業しましたが授業料が高いそうです。又、卒業後の日本の大学枠にも制限があるようで、アメリカの大学に進みました。

カイさん、
お困りですね。残り少しなので、できればハワイで卒業させてあげたいですね。

以下、ハワイに滞在する方法がどうしてもなくて帰国しなければいけない時の参考にしてください。
私は昨年の今頃までハワイに滞在していました。1年間だけのJ1での滞在でしたが、娘を連れて滞在していました。
娘は、日本でちょうど中２ー中３だったのですが、ハワイでは3ヶ月だけhigh schoolに行っていました。
日本では中高一貫校だったのですが、入学前に色々と調べて、一応復学できるところを選んだので問題はなかったのですが、中学を決めるまでは色々と調べました。
日本の高校は、公立校でも編入制度があるとのこと。ただ、残りの年数がどうなるのかは不明です。聞くところによると、1学年下に編入することが多いようですが、学校によってはhigh schoolの成績証明の内容によっては、そのままの学年に編入できるかもしれないようです。
そのあたりの情報に詳しいと思われるのが、
https://www.joes.or.jp
海外子女教育振興財団です。
一度ご相談されてみたらいかがでしょうか。
