Is the third vaccination mandate before coming to the US ??

Hello.
I am going to Hawaii in late February to see him.
It was reported on the news the other day that " he will need a third vaccination before going to Hawaii ・ those who have already made reservations do not have to ".
I have not applied for ESTA yet because my flight was cancelled several times.
Last week another flight to Hawaii → Japan was cancelled, so I will book another flight
The days of the week for flights are very limited, so the length of my stay has been forced to change as well.
At this point, only the flight to Japan is booked, but not the return flight and ESTA
Objectively, I am not booked = Do I have to interpret that the third vaccine is required ?
My last adverse reaction was severe. I am not planning to get the vaccination because it did not heal for a long time and my departure date is soon.
In this case, I would like to know if the vaccination is mandate or not.
If anyone knows more about this, please comment.

Hello, I'm a newcomer to this site.
I will be returning to Japan in mid-February, and I was wondering if the
antigen test $ 89.99 at NIU in Ala Moana is still valid for entry into Japan?
I will be in quarantine for 6 days at Narita, and I was wondering if there is a place or time where I can drop off my large luggage
or mail it if my family is at the airport while I get my luggage from Narita airport and leave the gate
to wait for the bus to the quarantine facility?
If you have recently returned to Japan, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Every time I go to Japan, I buy a large bottle of Japanese gargle every time I visit Japan, but due to the recent Corona pandemic, my whole family has finally tested positive for Corona and we have run out of the gargle we bought in Japan. The children have already returned to school after the positive result, but the adults still have sore throats, so I asked my family doctor for a prescription for gargle medicine, but he told me that they do not use gargle medicine in the U.S. and that I should gargle with a painkiller spray or a little salt in warm water. I was told to gargle with a painkiller spray or a small amount of salt in lukewarm water.

I found a Japanese gargle on Amazon, but it is expensive ($30 for a small bottle), so I was wondering if anyone has any information about Japanese supermarkets in Hawaii where you have seen it? Or, if you know of any other products similar to Japanese gargle that can be purchased at pharmacies in Hawaii, please let us know. Thank you in advance.

Transfer procedures for Japanese driver's license

I am currently a student on the island of Hawaii, and I am planning to apply for a Hawaii state driver's license under the test waiver system for a driver's license obtained in Japan. I understand that I need to visit the Honolulu Consulate in person to apply for the driver's license excerpt certificate with all the necessary documents, but do I also have to go to the counter in person to pick it up? I understand that it takes 5 days to receive the certificate, but is it possible to have it mailed to me?

I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, so I am wondering if I have to go all the way to Oahu to get a room or make two round trips to submit and receive my application.... I am wondering.

Any information would be appreciated.

Change from Student Visa to Tourist Visa

I came to Hawaii a week ago with the goal of learning English through the Nice program at UH.
I managed to get two months off and applied to the school and was told to get a student visa, which I did as instructed.
I went to the school for 2 days, but I just can't get used to the atmosphere of the school. I don't like the content of the lessons.
I have asked about transferring to a language school in Waikiki, but since the I-20 is issued by UH, the school I want to go to ( does not require a student visa and cannot be the source of the I-20 ) I think I need to change my visa status in order to transfer to
. I think you need to change your visa status to transfer to a different school.
Please advise if anyone knows how a person who entered on a student visa can cancel the student visa and stay for less than 2 months.

The document required to change visa status appears to be an I-539.
https://www.quora.com/Can-I-change-my-visa-status-from-F1-to-B2-within-my-legal-stay

By the way, the processing time for I-539 is in months.
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

In addition, it seems that the stay itself is legal as long as the I-539 is submitted.

You can pick up the keywords from the above link and do your own research first,
then consult an immigration Immigration Lawyer?
Immigration lawyers charge about $ 250- $ 300 an hour.

I think the F-1 is valid until the end of the program, so
you should also be aware of how long you have to be absent before UH will consider your program over.

You got F1visa and UH NICE issued I-20, right? ?

Since you said you are transferring to another school, you can get I-20 from another school...

You should not have to change visa status !.

even if the school is open to short term travelers who don't need a visa.
Or the school itself does not require a visa ( Only for 90-day travelers or residents )
Again, ask someone at the school office ?

Then, find a school that will issue an I-20 I-20.

However, there is no point in going out of your way to get an F1visa ?
for less than 2 months ? I would have been happy with a regular ESTA.

I wonder.

I had a citizenship interview last August, and after I applied for citizenship, I was asked to show a tax return because I got divorced, and after I passed the reading and writing history test, I was told to bring it back in a month, and no matter how long I waited, no letter came.
There has been a change since my interview last year, I have remarried and am now pregnant.
Since I submitted divorce papers last time, I am wondering if this time I will need to submit a marriage certificate and tax return for my new husband ? I would like to complete the citizenship interview next time, so please advise me if you know what documents I need to bring in detail. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for a lawyer for citizenship, please let me know. I am pregnant and need an escort because I am not feeling well, but I can't get in touch with the immigration office, so I don't know what to expect. Please help me.

I know that at one time, the topics here were full of topics related to unemployment insurance, but recently these topics have disappeared, and I am sure that everyone has successfully returned to society.
Some of my friends have chosen to return to Japan, and I bow down to those who are still working hard in Hawaii under these circumstances.
I know that many of you are struggling with new workplaces, unfamiliar environments, and not earning as much as you would like.
I am sure that the situation will continue to be unstable, but I would like to do my best based on the efforts of those who are in the same situation.

I would like to know if there is anyone who sells on Mercari in the U.S. ⁇ I have bought some items, but when it comes to selling, I have to ship them myself, so I have not been able to get involved because of the high threshold.
If there is anyone who sells on Mercari, I would like you to share the shipping situation, any problems, and any precautions.
Thank you very much.
