The following statement can be found on the Japanese Consulate website

We are pleased to announce that , by agreement between the Government of Japan and the State of Hawaii, , effective December 20, 2018, , those who have ( proof of Hawaii State residency ) see required documents below , and a valid Japanese driver's license will be , exempted from the written and practical driving tests. , are exempted from the written and practical tests when applying for a driver's license in Hawaii.

If anyone has renewed or obtained a Hawaii driver's license in this manner, we would appreciate receiving information regarding the procedure.
I am wondering what I need to prepare, especially with regard to the two forms of proof of Hawaii residency, since my electric, cable, and internet bills are included in the maintenance fee and automatically deducted from my account, and my bank statement is paperless. I would appreciate any information you may have.

electric utility expense

Family of 3 (one college student) in condo, 2 bed 1100 sq ft, electric bill this month is $350
$268, also higher last month. Air conditioner set to 83F, dryer about once a week for 40 minutes hardly used.

Dishwashing every day. Two computers, one TV. Called electrician, but he said it might be the panel.
I looked on the internet to see how much it would cost and it was over $2000. The refrigerator was not working well
and the electrician told me that it might be because of the fan of the refrigerator
. It is difficult to unplug the power supply from the refrigerator because it is a plug-in refrigerator.
I also heard that the electricity bill is going to increase by 17% from now on, and it is very difficult to live. I think there is a problem or a malfunction, but do you know where I can get it checked out? Thank you in advance.

My daughter was told by her early intervention teacher and child psychologist that
she is developmentally disabled and
should see a specialist

He cannot speak a single word.
I am going to do a lot of research and think about what I can do for my daughter,
but
I would be happy to exchange

I got married internationally and applied for a green card, travel permit, and EAD card at the end of last October.
I had my green card interview at the end of April this year, and I received my green card successfully.
However, I still have no movement on my travel permit and EAD card. However, I still have no movement of my travel permit and EAD card. I am thinking of going back to Japan this fall, but I wonder if it is better not to go back. ?
In case you are wondering, I did not use a lawyer for this application, and I did it by myself.

I have been wondering about something that I have not been able to clarify, so I would be glad if anyone here can help me.
I know that you cannot open a Japanese account when you live abroad, but ① it is not illegal to keep the account you opened when you lived in Japan after moving abroad, right?
However, ② if you leave it for about 5 years, it will be frozen, although the period varies depending on the bank. Is that considered as being used if there is a wire transfer and not frozen ??

I would like to ask about taxes on the sale of stock.

In the U.S.A. / Is there a profit and loss taxation system in Hawaii ?
If there is, it seems that in Japan you can carry it forward for 3 years from the next year, but in the U.S.A. / How many years in Hawaii ?

Do you know? If anyone knows, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Corona infection before trip to Hawaii Consular letter

Question

Hello.
I am going on a trip to Hawaii next week for 2 weeks, but I have a corona infection and was in home quarantine until yesterday.
I had an antigen test done this morning and it was negative, but I heard that PCR tests can be positive for several weeks after infection.

I will return to Japan one month after my corona infection, but I am worried about the PCR test before returning to Japan.
I understand that I can get a consular letter if I still test positive after a complete recovery, but do you know what is required or when I should apply to the consulate?
Can I just get a medical care certificate or something like that from the municipal health center? (It shows the date of corona infection.)
I couldn't find out anything about it, so I asked here. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi !
I'm going on a trip to Hawaii the week after next for 2 weeks
I got a corona infection last week and was quarantined for 10 days until yesterday. I tested this morning with an antigen test kit and it was negative, but I was told that a corona infection can cause a positive PCR test for a few days.

I will be returning at the end of August and it has been 4 weeks since my corona infection. If I should test positive for the PCR test 3 days before my departure from Hawaii, I am told that I can get a consular letter.
Can I apply to the consulate as soon as I arrive in Hawaii? Should I bring a certificate of medical care issued by the local health department?

I would appreciate it if you could tell me !.

My family and I would like to go to get gel nails done next week, but we have never been to a nail salon in Hawaii, so we are having a hard time choosing the right one. I would like to know if anyone knows of a nail salon where I can get gel nails done at a reasonable price. I have a car and will go anywhere in Oahu. Thank you in advance.
