Iwatani describes how to dispose of gas cylinders. It is very dangerous to dispose of them in the trash as is.

Dear Koji
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have read the URL you provided, but since I live in a condo and not in a house, there is no soil in the space I own. Would it be a violation to vent in a public place such as a beach or park ？?

As for violations, I have no idea, but
if you're in a park or on the beach with no one around and no fire, I don't think it's a safety issue. If it were me, I would think that I might sneak out and vent on my lanai but good ventilation is a prerequisite. Then there is the relationship with the neighbors.
Or maybe I'll just lurk on the street in front of my apartment.

Also, there are some collection services, but I don't think it's necessary to go this far with household gas cylinders ～ ？.

It used to be OK. Now it is subject to denial to enter the country under ESTA, get married, stay in Hawaii for more than 90 days beyond the period of stay for tourism, and get a green card
The best way is to take your husband and live in Japan.

Here is an article by a law school professor for your reference.
I am not sure when you wrote it.
It was written here, but it seems that the response is quite different if the couple got romantically involved after entering Japan and got married, or if they planned to get married before and entered Japan under ESTA.
In any case, since this is a life-altering matter, it is advisable to consult an immigration attorney rather than relying on bulletin board information.

As a follow-up to #8, if you are submitting
Adjustment of Status with I-485 (How to get a green card in the US ）),
I-131, Application for Travel Document
and
I- 765, Application for Employment Authorization
should also be filed at the same time.
I-131 is the document that #8 mentioned, which authorizes temporary departure from the country during the application process. If you leave the U.S. without this, the I-485 process will be over there.
The I-765 is the document you need to work on until you receive your green card.
You can read more about it in the link in #2.

I did my I-485 and other applications through an attorney. I think it is generally done through an attorney as well. However, if you look up I-485 DIY, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
However, based on the above discussion, I think it would be a good idea to consult an immigration attorney first to see if it would be better to continue with the Adjustment of Status process or to return to Japan and obtain an immigrant visa through an embassy interview.

#12,

You can look up the Processing Time for the I-130 on the USCIS website.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
Form is I-130 and Form Category is Permanent resident filling for a spouse or child under 21.

Also, according to the following site, it may take 4-5 years to receive I-130 in some cases.

I am sure it will go up if you use insurance for whatever reason. Even though I didn't use it, it went up this year for reasons of rising prices.

If you have a police report, you could submit it to the insurance company and let them know that the accident was not your fault.

There is no guarantee that rates will not go up...

Hello.
There are many people in the U.S. who are over 65 years old and working while receiving Social Security
.
Unlike Japan, we don't put your date of birth and age on your resume, so
I think it is special if you look young.
If you are beautiful, young, clean and witty, you will be hired.
The average life expectancy of a woman is approximately 90 years, so not working for 30 years
would be a good idea to contribute to society to prevent becoming a boor.

About a third of the information magazines in the free press are realtors over 60.

I don't feel like I can say I have much time. Rather than going to see temples
, I would probably go to Nishiki Market to eat and walk around. Well, it's at tourist prices, but I think it's still a good idea because of the

I don't have any friends in Hawaii either. When my children were small, I had a lot of mom friends, but they were just mom friends, and once they started kinder, I stopped socializing with them. I also made friends at the Japanese language supplementary school, but I found the Japanese community to be a very difficult and troublesome place to be. They were mean to me, talked behind my back, invited me out for lunch once in a while ？, and when I was happy to go out with them, they were actually soliciting me for insurance or selling Fat Dan cosmetics. I don't know where they came from or why they live in Hawaii, because Hawaii is a place where people's identities are unknown.

I had a fight with my husband the other day and left home unexpectedly, but I laughed at myself because I had no friends and nowhere to go. I didn't know any restaurants that a middle-aged woman could go to alone, and I was afraid to walk outside alone after dark, so I went home before it got dark. Still, I don't really want to have friends in Hawaii.

I am serious, methodical, responsible, caring, and easily hurt, so making friends with people I don't know well that I meet in Hawaii is mildly stressful for me. I try to keep my relationships with people in Hawaii as shallow as possible and avoid deep relationships because I don't want to trust them as friends and then be betrayed and hurt again.

Thank you for your personal and sympathetic email and further comments ！
Off topic, but today I saw a family living in Hawaii that I think is quite famous on YouTube. The Japanese wife was sparkling, and I was a little despairing because she looked like heaven and earth to me. I imagined that they were probably going to have an early dinner at a restaurant after that and watch the lantern floating ceremony. But I think he is quite a hard worker...he is always a wonderful person with his YouTube dinner menus.

I am a woman living in Hawaii.
US will have a huge gap between rich and poor, not just in Hawaii.
If you are a homeowner, you can exchange information about properties, but if you talk to renters
who are not, they will be turned off.
Whether single, married, or divorced.
I was also solicited by more than 10 different religions and network businesses.
I've been in Hawaii long enough to take it as a plus and wonder
what kind of invitation I'll get next time ！ I'm trying to think of new discoveries . I can't
buy network business products unless someone introduces me to them. There are so many excellent products that I've come to believe that I don't have to be interested in the business to just be a loyal customer. With people who don't have cars, it's a burden to have to drop them off and pick them up for lunch or tea. I think it would make a better impression on everyone if you could take an Uber or Taxi yourself. Saving money is important, but I think it is also important to invest in yourself. If you ask someone to pick you up and drop you off, thank them. You will have a longer lasting relationship with people who have common sense.
If I could meet like-minded people, we could be friends. I think it is a good idea.

Unlike in Japan, everyone's status〔Temporal or Permanent(Permanent)》is different, and for the sake of future relationships
Everyone is used to asking each other about status when they first meet each other.

I myself have only two Japanese friends. I met them recently, too.

I have been involved with others, but I am not in contact with them now. I will not contact them in the future.

I don't like the Japanese community in Waikiki, so I don't go near them at all, and
I live mostly in English.

Thanks for your comment. Sorry for the delay ！
No, I'm just an ordinary girl. I have never been to Takahashi Juku.
However, she plays outside a lot and her concentration was
high even before she entered preschool.
She liked puzzles and blocks since she was about 2 years old, and she never stopped doing puzzles
until they were completed.
I also raised him from birth with an emphasis on Japanese rather than English.
I learned this from a doctor at the hospital, who told me that a completely bilingual brain affects academic performance, and that if I wanted to raise my child in the U.S., I should immerse him in Japanese until he was 3 years old and raise him 100% in Japanese.
Now I can completely translate from Japanese to English because of that. I heard that the brain moves naturally. I was told before the birth that this would deeply affect my academic ability and judgment, so I was very thorough.
Other than that, he is just a normal kid who plays outside a lot. lol
Thank you for your kind words ♪.

It's been a long time since my children graduated, so I don't know if this applies to your situation now, but just an FYI ！

I had two children graduate from Hanahauoli to Punahou, Mainland college.　My daughter started at Pre-K first and my son attended Public for a year before moving to Hanahauoli, where we still have a great relationship with very good teachers and a wonderful family atmosphere.　　　I had my son take the PUNAHOU exam in Kinder, but they recommended that he take the 4th grade exam because his English vocabulary was less than that of native English speaking children, but we both started at PUNAHOU in 7th grade.　They say that bilingual children learn the language of their parents faster, especially if they spend a lot of time together. In our case, since I was speaking Japanese, I think my Japanese was stronger than my English because I spoke a lot of Japanese when I was little. But after attending the school, my English naturally became stronger.　I know it is a tough time for parents who are going through the schooling process, but please enjoy the time you spend together now ～.

Thank you for your valuable experience ！
I knew that once you start going to school, English would naturally become your main language. I was a little worried even though the doctor at the hospital said so,
but just by attending （ St. Clements for the past year ） from the age of 3, my English has improved a lot.
My husband is English only, so even though I raised him in Japanese,
the environment to learn English is more than Japanese families, and even now he is about 70% Japanese and 30% English, and he is good at Japanese. lol
Without knowing it, HANAHAUOLI, Montessori Community School
I was surprised that I could pass the entrance exam for HANAHAUOLI, Montessori Community School without even knowing it. I think the English environment will become stronger and stronger, but I have no regrets about raising my child in Japanese until the age of 3. ！
I feel that the bilingual brain is well formed.
Since my children are really leaving the nest, I would like to spend a lot of the precious time I have with them now, enjoying it.

Hello. My son attended MCS preschool for two years, ages 3 and 4.
He attended Iolani from Kinder last year.
I think there is a good chance to get in from Kinder or Elementary
as they move from MCS pre to Kinder and then gosh darn it to Iolani or Punahou.
In fact, I was thinking of sending Elementary to MCS as well if I could not get into Iolani.
MCS Elementary also has 2 teachers per class of 18-20 students, so they can give you a lot more attention than other schools.
I was attracted to MCS there too, but decided to send her to Iolani where she was accepted because she could avoid taking the exam in the middle.
Like yuri, I am very convinced that you choose Middle because of your grades and interests at Elementary, and I am sure that you will develop that much academic ability and ability to make your own decisions
at MCS.
My son learned a lot at MCS preschool, and his independence and concentration were wonderfully developed. I believe this is what led to his success at Iolani.
We didn't have any tutoring or tutoring and he was able to pass without any connections.
Most of my classmates who were accepted to Punahou and Iolani Kinder also said that they did not have any tutoring or private tutoring
.
MCS has a high quality and level of teachers and a large number of teachers to the number of students, so there is no doubt that the students receive an excellent education.
Enjoy your future life at MCS ！!
