I amsorry tobother you so often, but I again would like to ask your assistance in setting up the appointment of an interview date to apply for a non immigrant visa with Embassy of the United States of Americain Tokyo, Japan on Thursday, May 31 . I amgoing backto Japan on my job for a short time, from May 27 to June 1. Then I need to reapply for visa in orderto reenter to the U.S. and continue my duties in Livingston as a Sister City Coordinator. I calledthe Embassyof U.S. in Tokyo and found out thatthey have interviews everyThursday with limited numbers of applicants. However, they arealready full next four weeks. Besides, since it takes 7to 1 0 days to process on issuing visaif I apply by mail, it will not be done by the time I hope to comeback to the U.S.. The reason I need to come back to the U.S. so soon is that I have to coordinate and prepare upcoming middle schoolstudent exchangebetween sister cities, Livingston andN�anohara, which we hold every summer. I understandthis is not anofficial matter,but I would appreciate if you could somehow coordinate andbook me in the interview date of Thursday, May 31 atthe Embassy of U.S. in Tokyo. Thank you very much for your assistance in supportingmy Visapetition . I appreciate your time. Sincerely, Koji�=� Yamaguchi Livingston � Naganohara Coordinator of International Relations cc.
